Guests say
Blue Beach House in Ilfracombe receives glowing praise for its stunning harbour views, spacious and beautifully decorated interiors, and unbeatable location just steps from the beach and local amenities. Guests consistently highlight the high standard of cleanliness, excellent facilities, and comfort for families and groups. While parking requires use of a nearby car park, most agree the house and its setting more than compensate for this minor inconvenience. Thoughtful touches, such as a welcome pack, are appreciated, though not guaranteed. Overall, this cottage offers a memorable and relaxing seaside stay.
Multiple reviews specifically mention the property being spotless, beautifully finished, and very clean throughout, indicating a consistently high standard of cleanliness.
The location is repeatedly described as perfect, with direct access to the beach, harbour views, and proximity to all amenities. Guests unanimously praise the setting as a major highlight.
Guests comment on the spaciousness, comfortable beds and sofas, and suitability for families and groups. Only a minor mention of a basic TV slightly detracts from an otherwise excellent comfort level.
The house is described as brilliantly equipped with everything needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, large towels, baby-friendly features, and quality furnishings. The only minor issue noted is the TV quality.
Several guests mention a lovely welcome pack or hamper and thoughtful touches throughout the property. Please note, however, that such gifts are not guaranteed with every stay.

Fabulous cottage in the most perfect location. Beautifully decorated throughout with everything you could possibly need. The only downside, if I had to choose anything, is the lack of parking. That said, you can get a parking permit for Ropery Road Car Park situated just behind the house - £53 for the week from Local Council. It's a bit of a pain to unload/re-load luggage as you have to do a few trips back/forth to the car park but honestly, once you're in, you're in and the house and location more than makes up for the inconvenience. Loved it - can't wait to re-book

An amazing house to stay at. Perfect for our family of 6, kids, parents and grandparents. Agree with an earlier review about the house being larger than the pictures show. Brilliantly equipped with everything you could need with the most wonderful sea views. Lovely!

House was lovely, cleanness was spot on, excellent equipment and lovely welcome pack. Brilliant location for all amenities, amazing views from the cottage over looking the harbour. Parked on Ropery Road car park only a 2 minute walk.
