Outlook provided everything we needed in a holiday rental and the welcome packs for both us and the dogs, were a lovely touch. The property was clean throughout and the enclosed wrap round garden was secure for the dogs (providing you don't have a jumper wjo can clear 3ft gates). Some great walks nearby with Kilkhampton Common being an absolute favourite of the mutts!!Summerleaze Beach was stunning and there were some great restaurants/ take outs nearby and we made a few visits to Widemouth Bay for their food and fabulous views of the coast. The decor in the property probably needs a bit of TLC but as said before, it had everything and was extremely clean throughout. Would recommend Outlook as a good base.

The front of the property doesn’t give the best impression. Overall the property was ok, rooms all good size and kitchen well equipped. The only issues we had was that the bathroom needs a shelf, we also didn’t realise that it was downstairs. The pillows on the bed were very hard so didn’t get a good sleep. A lot of the doors stick and need a good push to open. The sofas in the lounge were comfortable and our dog loved the dog bed. On a positive note we did have a good week staying here but you do need a car to get around.
