It was spotless and the furnishings were immaculate. The bedrooms were particularly good and the embroidered towels were a very nice touch. The bed linen is high quality. I have stayed in 4 star hotels that have not been as nice. All of the facilities are top tier as well. Kitchen is very well equipped. The lounge is lovely and comfortable too. My only minor criticism is that the bedrooms and bathrooms were cold. We were there in mid-September and it would have been nice to have the temperature a little higher. The heating seems to be set to turn itself off at night and also during the day. Could have done with keeping the temperature downstairs higher at night time. I didn't do anything with the boiler as there were instructions not to touch it Had we been there in the height of a hot summer the cooler lower floor would be a blessing. The car parking is a short walk from the apartment with pretty steep hill. My mobility isn't great but I managed it. The area is very hilly in general along that stretch of coast which means the views are amazing. As a place to stay I would certainly recommend 10 Cove View as the great place to stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we returned to Ilfracombe.

The lounge, dining and kitchen areas are lovely - light, bright, very clean and with everything you could possibly need. The two bedrooms and bathrooms are at basement level, so a little darker and slightly chilly. Everything is immaculate. With the larger bathroom, the pop up plug wasn't working, so if you ran a bath, the water would just run away. The heated mirror over the sink wasn't working, and the pop up plug in the sink didn't work properly either. We reported this to the housekeeping service, who suggested we have a go at fixing it with a screwdriver. As my husband couldn't use the bath, he had a shower, and found that the temperature control knob was extremely loose, almost coming off in his hand. With the smaller bathroom, we also had problems with the pop up plug. 10 Cove View is a really lovely property, it just needs a quick visit from a plumber and it would be perfect.
