  We had a lovely stay at the Hay barn and we thought it was a beautiful property.

  Just a couple of things I’d like to mention. On arrival we took our dogs for a walk around to familiarise ourselves and the neighbours cocker spaniel decided to run out and attack my dog. My dog was on a lead and this was totally unprovoked so I think the owners either need to put a gate up or tie their dog up if it’s going to greet guests and their dogs in this manner. Secondly the bin stall which is right outside the Hay Barn and opposite the pool was a bit of an eye sore and could do with being organised a bit better as quite off putting on arrival. Thirdly the property advertises a king and queen room. The twin beds put together to make the queen do not fit together properly and I kept falling through the middle and couldn’t cuddle up to my partner. Just a suggestion but I think the electric car charger also needs to be PIN code protected or it needs a sign with instructions as to who can use to to avoid any confusion. Other than these few minor issues we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this area of Devon is really picturesque. The garden wasn’t overlooked and there was lots of birds and nature around us. The house was well stocked with cooking utensils for those who wish to cook.

  We had a fantastic time at Atlantic Lodge.

  There were fabulous views from the lounge and the pod especially, but it as great to sea the sea from the kitchen as well. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for cooking - all mod cons, with a great fridge freezer, modern cooker/hob and plenty of storage/work space. The house is well positioned for getting to the beaches and for walking. We enjoyed walking straight from the house and also driving around. In the evenings we sat on the beaches - the weather was very kind to us. The beds were comfortable as were the seats - maybe more are needed for eight people, we were only five, but could only sit four comfortably. The television has a large, clear screen, but we didn’t watch it much as there were too many other things to do! We ate out twice in the village - good meals, but expensive when beer is £9.95 a can! Our one BIG criticism is the cleanliness of the kitchen utensils, cutlery and cooking pans. Some of these were actually very dirty and had obviously not been washed since the last occupants, maybe longer. In a time of pandemic this is just not good enough. SUCH a shame because we would definitely like to come back after such a brilliant time in a beautiful place.

  We loved staying at Bay View. Combe Martin was a lovely place. We loved the bay and the hills surrounding and the views were spectacular. So dog friendly at this time of year everywhere! We went to Woolacombe, Ilfracombe, Heddons Mouth, Exmoor National Park, Lynton & Lynmouth and Watersmeet. All lovely to visit and beautiful in Autumn. Just beware most things in this part of Devon close down for the season in Winter, so lots of cafes not open. Great Co-op in CM and a good Tesco superstore just 15 mins away in Ilfracombe. Lots of walking nearby and further afield, fantastic beaches and little hidden coves. The cottage was warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It was furnished really well and very bright and colourful. I imagine it is wonderful in summer with the large garden and lots of seating areas. The highlight was the view from the living room, we sat there in the 2 comfy chairs every night and even watched the fireworks on bonfire night. We ate at the Sawmill pub and had the best Sunday dinner we’ve ever had! Also had fish and chips from Black and White at the bottom of the high street which were fabulous. Overall a very lovely ‘out of season’ holiday!

  Excellent location and accommodation with lovely views over the bay and along the coast.

  This is the best self-catering holiday home we've ever stayed in. The beds were very comfortable and the home was extremely well equipped with more kitchen crockery, cutlery and utensils than in my own kitchen. There are games and books to keep you amused and there's a good, large wall mounted television. You can hear the sea, it's that close to the beach. In fact at low tide there are two beaches within a few minutes walking distance, two at high tide. The south west coast path can be seen from the home. That too is within a few minutes walking distance. You can eat outdoors at the table on the terrace while enjoying the wonderful sea view. It's a land and sea scape photographer's paradise and the sunsets are spectacular. This would not be a suitable holiday home for anyone with mobility problems because there's quite a long, steep path up and down to the beach.

  Was a good holiday generally, owner was friendly and pool was big and kids loved it.

  The only point to make in the interests of a balanced review would be that there were quite a few small things that whilst not really having any impact on the holiday were a bit niggly given what we’d paid: Garden was not self contained as advertised so we couldn’t just let our dog out without supervision. This was a pain tbh. No toilet extractor fans worked. One toilet was very hard to flush. Downstairs toilet door very hard to open as it had swelled and scraped on the floor. Wifi was rubbish tbh, no bandwidth. Pool floor had a couple of tiles missing and my daughter cut her foot (not badly) on one of the edges. Shrubs around house all overgrown and so when it rained it was hard not to get wet whilst trying to walk past them. Other than that all good, but the place would definitely benefit from some TLC.
