  Accommodation was warm however that is about all I can say about it.

  Owner says it sleeps 2/4 people so we assumed we could have the bed and kids could sleep on the sofa bed, that didn't happen! My partner and both children slept in the bed and I tried to sleep on the cobbled street they said was a sofa bed. We ended up leaving a day early because 3 nights with no sleep was about enough for me. I did bring it up with the owner and was told no-one had complained before which isn't true. When we returned home I checked the reviews and someone else had mentioned it before which, in fairness had seen but the review had been commented on by the owner saying all issues had been resolved NOT TRUE. Access to the the garden was through a door with a padlock on and unless I asked we wouldn't have been told by the owner, it felt like they don't actually want you to use it but put it on their advert to make it sound like your getting more than you do. After not sleeping on the last night I took our dog for a walk at 5am and when I returned the door was locked and I couldn't access the Accommodation because you share the entrance with the owner which isn't pointed out on booking. After all is said the area is beautiful and well worth a visit, just find some other accommodation. Wouldn't stay again and definitely wouldn't recommend.

  Beautifully maintained apartment, gorgeous high ceilings from a bygone era, furniture was very comfortable, especially the bed.

  So important to have a comfortable bed when away from home. Lovely bathroom too, very spacious and clean. Good quality kitchen tools and equipment, the only thing I'd say was missing was a 'normal' frying pan rather than the wok styled pan. (We actually bring our own as we often find frying pans are not fit for use). A liner for the grill pan would have been appreciated, as it happens, we bring our own foil to do this with but some cottage owners do put a liner in the base of the grill pan. It was a real home from home as we spent all day Monday in the apartment as it was The Queen's funeral so a real test of homeliness. We also had to buy food to cook as there was nowhere open on Monday evening (due to Queen's funeral) so the grill and hob really did a great job. One extra dishwashing tablet would have been handy. The only thing we found 'odd' was the coat hook in the hallway - it must've been put up by a very tall man as my 6ft 2 hubby struggled to reach it and at 5ft 1 I had no chance! We liked the balcony too but didn't use it much. We rarely ever revisit the same place but if we were to revisit Ilfracombe we'd happily look to rent this apartment again. It feels spacious, homely and is very clean. Big tick!

  The property is modern as it forms part of the conversion from the old Narracott Grand Hotel into appartments. It is well appointed with two good bathrooms and two large bedrooms. It is in an excellent position, being close to restaurants, shops, beach etc. Guests need to be on their guard as there is astep down from the lounge area to the kitchen area which caught my wife out several times over the first two days causing her to fall. We resolved it by placing a chair on the step to act as an obstacle and a reminder. Also beware that the wooden bedframes are wider than the mattress and are painful on the shins if you are not very careful. We were a bit dissapointed that the outlook from the lounge was not a lovelly sea view, but a rather unattractive red brick building. The sea view is available, but only really from the very narrow balcony. We had a few operational issues when we first arrived relating to the operation of the central heating and the TV. It was very irritating that the owner was only prepared to communicate by text message. One simple phone call could have resolved our issues but I eventually gave up with the text messages and after two days found a way around the issues myself.

  Despite the issue with the washing machine (owner offered to pay for Laundrette) We all had a great time, thanks for providing alternative parking for the works that took place in the car park. As for the apartment is very clean, well equipped, I always bring key things (sharp Global knife, chopping board ice tray & peeler) although this property doesn’t have a view but just take a step outside patio at sunset that’s a enough for me to come back. For me the added side access made a huge difference for me, as steps becoming challenging due to injury last year. We drove to the beachfront £9 per day. My partner & in-laws went for an evening stroll down to the beach when I was using the swimming pool. The pool cover has to be removed manually to use the pool (key to pool door is provided). Top tip read flat instructions as all information is there that you need to know including pool key & WiFi info. If you want a quiet place to stay near a good clean beach & swimming pool this a must place location in North Devon. Thanks for the Rose wine.

  The apartment is a recent conversion on the second floor of the Grade II listed building, situated a few minutes walk from both Landmark theatre, the Tunnels beaches and other Ilfracombe favourites.

  The apartment was modern. spacious, comprehensively equipped and, despite being booked at very short notice, immaculately clean with a welcome pack provided. It's about 10min level walk to the Harbour but a climb uphill up to the main shopping streets. Overall a very pleasant stay in a lovely apartment. A few things to note: the building is on the main road to the Harbour and can be noisy. The entrance to the car park is off Fortescue Road, which is between the Belgrave building and the Devon Beach next door. The car park entrance is then first left up a narrow lane at the rear of the Belgrave building. The first few steps from the car park are quite narrow. The key safes are behind you as you face the entrance door. A front door key would have been useful but not essential. The information folder for the flat was good but a couple of things needed updating and guidance on recycling would be useful.
