The Penthouse in Woolacombe receives glowing praise for its stunning sea views, modern and spacious interiors, and excellent location close to the beach and local amenities. Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped nature of the apartment, as well as the peaceful atmosphere and dual balconies. While there are some minor suggestions for improvement, such as better mattresses on single beds and easier access for those with mobility issues, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a highly recommended choice for a relaxing coastal getaway.
Multiple reviews describe the property as very clean, spotless, and tidy. Only one or two minor comments mention areas like windows or balconies that could be cleaner, but these are outweighed by the positive feedback.
The location is repeatedly praised for its proximity to the beach, spectacular views, and easy access to Woolacombe and the coastal path. The elevated position is noted as a positive, though the steps may be challenging for some.
Guests find the apartment spacious, comfortable, and homely, with comfy beds and lounge furniture. A few minor issues are mentioned, such as the need to replace single mattresses and the number of stairs, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The apartment is described as very well-equipped, modern, and stylish, with useful amenities like underfloor heating, two balconies, and parking. Some guests note the absence of a coffee machine, hairdryer, and minor bathroom fittings, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Several guests mention a welcome pack and responsive, helpful hosts, which added to their enjoyment. However, as gifts such as welcome packs are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

6 Adults and 2 dogs stayed in the accommodation and we all loved it. It’s a spacious, very clean and modern apartment. Comfortable furniture in the lounge as are the beds in the two large bedrooms. The view and the sound of the sea to wake up to every day is wonderful. I would definitely recommend The Penthouse to others. The two single mattresses need replacing asap. You could feel every lump just running your hand over them, even worse to sleep on! A real shame when everything else is just amazing. We had to use the chair from the bedroom as not enough seating in lounge for 6 adults otherwise.
