The flat was exactly as described and as seen in the photographs. The chairs were comfortable and made viewing of the the ocean a real luxury. The all important sleep zone was a lovely and comfortable bed with a cloud soft and super snuggly duvet. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with practically everything that you'd need. Sadly the only negative was the dishwasher being Out of Order with a Do Not Use sticker on it. (Not an inconvenience for us) Ilfracombe was a delightful town with some fabulous walks, great beaches and lots of the friendliest, helpful shop and eatery staff around.

We had such a relaxing holiday. The apartment was comfortable and central for local attractions.
Brendan
Well equipped and comfortable. Brilliant position. Stunning view of course but we liked proximity to Harbour and Capstone Hill and other facilities in Ilfracombe.
