Spent a lovely week with my family to celebrate my 70th birthday. The games room was well used, as was the outdoor space. Plenty of room indoors to spread out. Lovely welcome basket which was much appreciated. Thank you.

The accommodation, facilities and equipment were to an extremely high quality. The Games Room, Hot Tub and Outdoor Cooking area were well used.The owners were really friendly and quick to answer our enquiries. It was tricky to navigate the area without a car; we would have liked more walking opportunities. The local-ish restaurant, Deluxe Steak House is well worth a visit; as is Ilfracombe with it's independent shops, habour and beautiful scenery.

Fantastic house with great facility's. Games room was brilliant. Slightly remote from the nearest pub but that is not a great problem. Outside cooking facility's were fantastic.
