Guests say
Blue Beach House in Ilfracombe receives glowing praise for its stunning harbour views, spacious and beautifully decorated interiors, and unbeatable location close to the beach and local amenities. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfort for families and groups. While parking requires use of a nearby car park, this minor inconvenience is far outweighed by the property's many strengths. Thoughtful touches and a welcoming atmosphere make it a memorable stay for all.
Multiple reviews describe the property as immaculately clean, spotless, and well-maintained throughout, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
The location is repeatedly described as perfect, with direct access to the beach, harbour views, and proximity to all amenities. The only minor drawback mentioned is the need to park in a nearby car park.
Guests found the house spacious, comfortable, and suitable for families and groups. Sofas and beds are described as super comfy. The only minor point raised was a preference for a higher quality TV.
The property is praised for being brilliantly equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, large towels, baby-friendly features, and plenty of bathrooms. One review mentioned a basic TV, but otherwise facilities are highly rated.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack and hamper, but please note that such gifts are not guaranteed with every stay.

Outstanding property and stunning views We have been coming to this property and the one next door for 6 years such a relaxing time just a chilled week. We chose this property because it has two bedrooms with on suite. The first floor living area has double doors looking out to the harbour below with a glass screen. Perfect

We had a fantastic stay at the Blue Beach house. The house was immaculately clean, had everything we needed and felt like a home from home. The decor was gorgeous. I can’t think of anything negative.

Fabulous cottage in the most perfect location. Beautifully decorated throughout with everything you could possibly need. The only downside, if I had to choose anything, is the lack of parking. That said, you can get a parking permit for Ropery Road Car Park situated just behind the house - £53 for the week from Local Council. It's a bit of a pain to unload/re-load luggage as you have to do a few trips back/forth to the car park but honestly, once you're in, you're in and the house and location more than makes up for the inconvenience. Loved it - can't wait to re-book
