Guests say
Hillymouth is a well-regarded apartment in Devon, praised for its spacious bedrooms, sea views, and friendly hosts. The games room and garden are popular among guests, and the property is considered a good base for exploring North Devon. Some guests noted challenges with stairs and the distance to local amenities.
Most guests found the apartment clean and tidy, with spacious bedrooms and well-maintained common areas. However, a few mentioned issues with superficial cleanliness and pet hair, slightly affecting the overall perception.
The property is appreciated for its proximity to Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and Lee Bay, offering lovely views and a good base for exploration. The steep and hilly terrain was a concern for some, particularly those with young children or mobility issues.
Guests generally found the beds comfortable and the accommodation cosy. However, some guests felt the living space was cramped for larger groups and the mattresses hard, which impacted the comfort level for those guests.
The games room and garden are highlights, providing entertainment and relaxation. The kitchen is well-equipped, but some guests noted outdated appliances and slow internet. The presence of stairs and the need for clearer information on accessibility were also mentioned.
While guests mentioned a welcome pack and the provision of baby equipment, there were no consistent references to gifts or special touches that would indicate a level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately assessed.

Whilst the bedrooms had 2 double and 2 single beds, the downstairs accommodation could only barely accommodate 2 adults and 1 teenager. The photos definitely make it look bigger than it is. Misleading. The advertised trampoline was not there and the garden furniture was rotten and very unsafe. The games room was in poor condition with much of the equipment broken. All of the darts were broken so we only used the pool table. Access to the games room and garden was not child friendly at all and the rear entry point was a series of poorly maintained gates and doors that bordered on being dangerous. The bathroom window was broken and could not be closed. Whilst the accommodation was clean it was generally run down with much of the equipment needing to be replaced ie living room table leg was falling off, the kitchen knives had tips broken off. There was only 1 parking space available for the property which would not be ideal if you were booking for 6 guests. I would not recommend this accommodation for anyone with young children, the elderly, or anyone with mobility issues due to the amount of stairs and uneven floors and extremely poor lighting.

It was a wonderful introduction for them of the countryside environment and they have an everlasting memory of their first ever holiday away at your lovely apartment to remember, along with the stunning countryside and seaside. We loved baking at night from the facilities you had provided in the apartment and spent fun time together in games room and their room in the attic room made them feel like they were having an adventure. The washing machine was much appreciated on seaside days for wet towels and sinks in bedroom added help. They asked will we come again on leaving, and we definitely would, if possible in future.

We were not happy with the miss information about the walking distance to the pub and beach. It stated that it was only a short walk but in fact was at least half an hour if you were fit. The garden and games room were very good and kept the grandchildren amused. Would also have preferred that the bed linen was provided.
