A lovely position overlooking the working harbour. Good comfortable bed and fluffy towers. Catering equipment for 10 requires juggling. Plenty of space for 10.

A brilliant house! Very comfortable indeed - so well equipped and the beds are really comfy. The location is fantastic and it’s the best place that we have stayed in Ilfracombe. We had to contact the owner while we were there and he was really responsive. All in all - a superb choice!

We had a really lovely time at St Agnes. The location is perfect and the house is great. The house is set up really nicely and was a very comfortable place to stay. A better stocked kitchen and a couple of refurbished bathrooms would take it up to a really luxury standard. But I would definitely come and stay again and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. The welcome tea for us and the dog was a lovely touch!!!
