“Lovely stay in lovely Ilfracombe! Oliver was a great host. Very responsive and informative. Great stay if you’ve got kids like we do.”

Anonymous – Sept 2025

“Great little top floor flat with views in 3 directions. We enjoyed our time there.”

Mr Harbottle – July 2025

“Superb accommodation in a former landmark Victorian hotel with wonderful views along the coast and of the town of Ilfracombe. You can even see (just about) Verity (Damien Hirst statue) in the distance and the UK’s longest continuously used lighthouse over at Ilfracombe harbour. The location was great, short walk the the Landmark theatre and only about a 10-15 minute stroll to the harbour. We were lucky with the weather so most of the time this walk along the coast was in lovely sunshine. The flat was more than enough space for a family of 4. Shops and amenities all within walking distance (including a Lidl) although there are some steep slopes up and down, being on the North Devon coast. My 4 year old managed them fine though. Lots to do in Ilfracombe and the surrounding area, many of them within 30-40 minutes drive from Ilfracombe. Plenty of great places to eat and get your fill of Devon cream teas! I highly recommend staying here, we had a great 7 night stay.”

“I had a wonderful stay. This gem of a property boasts a stunning location overlooking the entire town, offering breathtaking views that made every morning and evening truly special. The dedicated private parking space behind a secure gate was a fantastic bonus, providing peace of mind and convenience. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the heart of Ilfracombe’s charming town centre, with its array of shops, cafes, and restaurants.”

Mr & Mrs Maxey – June 2024
“What an amazing place, right in the heart of ilfracombe, amazing views over the hole town were breathtaking. Very easy to get to the town and the private car park was an excellent addition, as can you leave car and walk to the town which was only a 5-10 minute walk. The apartment was clean and modern and made us feel right at home, best part was looking over the balcony at night watching the lights of the town amazing.”

Ms Houben – May 2024
“The flat is great. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We liked the location and enjoyed the views. The guidebook from Cottages on The Coast was helpful. We plan to book the flat through them again.”

John – April 2024
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the flat, which was clean, comfortable and fitted out to a very high standard. Also, everything worked properly! It was quiet and we were not disturbed by other guests. The private parking was secure and reassuring, and a lift to the top floor a blessing for those with mobility issues. For all that, the price was amazingly cheap. Highly recommended.”
