Guests say
Newhaven is a well-received holiday cottage in Ilfracombe, praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and well-equipped nature. Guests appreciate the secure garden for dogs, the proximity to beaches and local amenities, and the thoughtful welcome gifts. While the lane access and parking can be challenging for larger vehicles, and one guest found the king-size bed firm, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently describe the property as spotlessly clean, indicating a high level of cleanliness throughout the holiday home.
The property is well-located for beach access and local towns, though one review mentions limited activities in Combe Martin. The narrow access road was a concern for some, slightly affecting the score.
Overall, guests find the property comfortable, with plenty of space and a secure garden. However, one guest mentioned an uncomfortably firm king-size bed and difficulty adjusting shower temperature.
The property is described as well-equipped and maintained, with a special mention of the secure garden for dogs. The presence of books, games, and DVDs for rainy days was also appreciated.
Guests are delighted by the welcome gifts, which include a cream tea and treats for both humans and dogs, demonstrating the owner's thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The house is lovely and spacious. Had everything we needed. Welcome gift for us & the dogs was appreciated. Garden secure so could leave kitchen door open so dogs could go out at their leasure. Downstairs toilet was a surprise as details didn't say there was one. Five of us stayed with dogs & had a great time. Well located - beaches 5/10 minutes walk away. Close drive to other lovely beaches and towns. Local shops for amenities & large tesco only 25 minutes away. Would happily stay here again.

A lovely home from home where we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived.Excellent communication with the owner prior to our arrival and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch.The lane is a bit tight but we managed to park both cars on the drive.The house is in a lovely position to walk into Combe Martin but can easily drive to Ilfracombe, Lynton and Barnstaple.Overall a lovely house which we would certainly return to if in the area and would definitely recommend.

Newhaven was very spacious and well equipped, perfect for our family of four. The books, games and dvds were helpful on the rainy days and the cream tea was a welcome treat. The owner was very quick to answer my questions before our arrival. We would stay here again and recommend to others.
