I would recommend Nelson at Admirals House with reservations. Firstly the arrival and drop off are difficult as it is on a narrow one-way street, on a hill with parked cars so you either have to back up or down the hill. Secondly the bathroom lets it down and thirdly we had no wifi for either emails, messages or WhatsApp through strangely the TV worked. Having said all that it is a good-looking building looking straight over the harbour. It was clean, tidy and the beds were comfortable.

Fabulous. Everything was spot on. The level of comfort provided was second to none. Debs has thought of everything to make the perfect holiday retreat. I wish she lived near me, she's a lovely person, the sort you could be friends with straightaway. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

James Scott (from Bath in Ilfracombe for a walking holiday)
A very nice apartment, with a view of the harbour, it was an excellent base for our walking holiday with easy road access to beautiful bays and head lands.We delighted in sitting at the dining table near the window where we could enjoy the view. A shelf in the bathroom for shampoo, toothpaste, etc would be useful.The beds were comfortable as were the armchair and settee in the lounge.
