  I emailed this to the property management company in the welcome pack on Wednesday and have no reply!

  It needs addressing as ruined what could have been a perfect stay. Perhaps you can take it up on our behalf, as you should have advised us: Firstly I’d like to stress that we have been extremely pleased with the accommodation itself, it is very well equipped and in a perfect location. However we were not made aware that there is extensive building work occurring on the joined cottage. I’m not sure if you’re even aware as normally I’d assume there would be a warning email to guests at the very least, or an option of price reduction. . Yesterday morning we were woken to constant loud noise of demolition/drilling and it was not at all possible to sit outside at the back, the plaster dust has covered the garden completely our /wetsuits/ washing line we’re covered in it and also came inside the house causing my husband to have a tight chest (albeit very minor) Today there is a cement mixer parked out front where we sit. The builders are nice guys and are just doing their job so we have not said anything to them, we are not the type of family to ge confrontational. My daughter is here with us trying to revise for her A level mocks and having been through a prolonged 7 year renovation project you can see this is not a great situation for us. It would be wise for you to advise the next guests prior to arrival, I’d hate for someone else to struggle

  Seal Cottage is a lovely little gem in this part of Devon.

  We visited Woolacombe some 25 years ago for several holidays and wanted to return to this beautiful part of Devon for a long weekend. We stayed at Seal Cottage, it is lovely, it had sea views from the lounge and upstairs main bedroom. All three bedrooms were doubles with the most comfortable beds and two bedrooms were en-suite. The owners had thought of everything, you wanted for nothing. We had our own holiday home in Lanzarote for 11 years before selling it two years ago so we know what it is like to rent property and our feedback was always 'like home from home' and this is exactly what Seal Cottage is, a 'home from home'. Although we went into Woolacombe each day, we could not wait to return to the cottage for a lovely relaxing family time together just chilling and watching some films. It was so quiet and the owners had on supply for you games, freeview TV and if you wanted a picnic the cooler bag and plastic cups etc were there for you to use. Everything from the kitchen equipment to the bed linen were top quality. We will certainly be returning to this little haven we have found. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  The house is well situated, in a lovely quiet spot, pretty village and delightful area.

  There are steep steps to get up to the front door, which might be tricky for some. Good directions to the parking area, for which we were grateful. Beautiful views from front of the house, and lovely walks nearby. Most rooms well furnished and comfortable; the third bedroom has less storage facilities than the others, and no mirror or dressing table. The other bedrooms are very good, clean, with excellent en-suites. The kitchen is well stocked, with good quality kitchen wear, everything one could need. Sadly, the mobile telephone signal is appalling and it was rare that we could communicate with family, from within the cottage. There is a landline, to which we needed to resort and the honesty box is a nice idea. The cottage was booked, quite clearly for 3 people, and a confirmation email sent to this effect, however, there were only sufficient towels for 2 people. We did contact the owner/caretaker on the number provided who rectified this omission immediately. The Devonshire cream tea supplied as a complimentary welcome gift was also only for 2 people.

  Mount Rose is a large, well equipped and comfortable house suitable for extended family or group stays. We especially liked the decked outside seating area with comfy sofas and a lovely view down to the sea. The house is about 30mins walk to Woolacombe beach - although the walk back is uphill so be ready to climb back up after a beach day out! Two sitting rooms and two TVs worked well for us. And the kitchen and dining area is large with everything you need to self cater, including an extra fridge and drinks chiller which were very welcome. Beware the steep driveway which we found challenging. We loved Woolacombe beach, cycling the tarka trail, a walk to see "Verity" in Ilfracombe, walking the coastal paths from Croyde to Baggy Point and to Crow Point, sailing trip fishing for Mackerel from Ilfracombe, and a day at Arlington Court National Trust. But we would recommend swerving the aquarium at Ilfracombe - it is tiny and takes less than 10 minutes to see everything in it - not worth the money in our view.

  Seal Cottage was ideal for us in everyway.

  Plenty of room, extremely well equipped, 3 bathrooms and 4 toilets. and so easy to keep clean and tidy. Very good location wise as well, we were able to walk to Woolacombe , the coastal walk on the way back was so good. We droves to Ilfracombe, Lynton. Lee Beach and Exmoor Zoo all within easy reach. The walks to Rockham Beach and the lighthouse started on the doorstep. The only negative thing I can say about our holiday was the lack of places to go out to eat, but that is probably more due to Covid 19 restrictions having to book in advance and not really knowing where eating places were. We did use the FIsh and Chip shop in the village twice which was very good, lots of options and the take away next door Rockham House. I had the Thai fish curry which was amazing. If you don't mind cooking whilst on holiday Tesco in Ilfracombe is quite a big store only a 15mins drive and has everything.
