  • "We were really pleased with all aspects of this property the location and designated parking were great."

    It was clean and comfortable also well equipped one suggestion a slow cooker would be a benefit in our opinion. The view from the property is amazing and we would highly recommend it to others and will book again

    Dear Neil, many thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely review; I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Yonda, I love the views to. You'd be most welcome to come again and I will look into the slow cooker recommendation aswell, thanks again, kind regards Lindsey Property Owner

  • "We had a very comfortable stay in this lovely, quaint property!"

    It's very spacious and the views from the patio area are beautiful. The location is perfect for a stroll to the nearest beach - which was perfect to let our dog run & swim and great for younger children to explore as it's not too big and never busy while we were there. Lots of lovely places to visit just a short drive away. The owner Lindsey is fantastic with communication and goes above and beyond to help.

    Dear Leanne, thanks so much for taking the time to review your holiday and I'm really glad you enjoyed the views and beach close by and the location in general was a good choice for you all and the dog. Thanks again Leanne and it has been really nice speaking with you,kindest regards Lindsey Property Owner

    A brilliant base for exploring all that North Devon has to offer! The house is spacious but homely and so very well-equipped! Everything has been so well thought out to ensure anything you might need is at hand. The views from the front room and garden are spectacular. Lindsey is a great host, communication up to and during our stay was brilliant and we were made to feel so welcome! We would definitely stay here again.

    Dear Emma, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, I'm so pleased you guys enjoyed your holiday and found my home homely, really great to hear. Goes without saying you'd all be welcome again any time. Thanks again, take care, kindest regards Lindsey Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely time."

    Very handy for Ilfracombe, which we loved. Easy walking distance to great bars and restaurants. My only issue was finding it! My sat nav kept telling me I had arrived but a for sale sign obscured the road name and the fox picture given as a landmark can't be seen from a car - it is very small! The owners were very helpful beforehand and the neighbours were very friendly. The dogs had a great time too.

    Dear Ali, many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and im really pleased you all had a lovely time. The for sale sign has since been moved, typical estate agents! Thanks again,kind regards Lindsey Property Owner

  • "Ultra clean, well-equipped ( even with individual bedside torches), comfortable house with relaxing view."

    Conveniently situated close to Ilfracombe and coastal walks. The patio area is ideal for relaxing. I would point out that the garden area, whilst tidy and maintained, is not comfortably accessible.

    Dear Tom, thanks so much for taking the time to review your stay, I am glad you enjoyed the house and views and absolutely appreciate the garden access is challenging living in such a hilly area. Thanks again, kindest regards Lindsey Property Owner

    Lynsey the owner was very friendly and on the one occasion we needed some help she was there in minutes. This is a great base for exploring north Devon. The beach at Woolacombe was our favourite place, our dog loved it and the cafe is excellent. Barnstaple was our favourite for shopping and the Williams Arms at Braunton does a great carvery every day. We will be back!

  • "This is a lovely, cosy holiday home."

    It has everything you could possibly need and is in a great location with beautiful views. The sun room off the kitchen is so nice. There are very steep steps up to the house but fortunately for me who has balance issues there is an alternative route down to the road in front of two other homes that is safe and fine to use. We met the owner of the first home who was very friendly. We would happily stay there again.

    Dear Marjorie and Michael, thanks so much for providing such lovely feedback and we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are glad you made use of the shared access as those steps can be tiring for anyone but especially for people with balance issues. You would be most welcome to return anytime in the future.

  • "Nice quite place to stay in."

    Facilities good but felt it could do with a tumble dryer as if the weather is not good difficult to dry any washing. Instructions on disposing of waste could be made better aswell. Otherwise we are thinking of returning next year.

    Hi Nick, many thanks for your feedback and kind words. We have since tried to make the instructions on waste disposal a bit simpler for guests. We understand they are quite complex and different to other council areas. Our road is a private road so sometimes the collection staff change the rules so thanks for your efforts with this.We will consider the tumble drier as in wet days it isn't so easy to dry washing in the sun lounge. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you all again. kind regards Property Owner

Ilfracombe's heritage harbour and quay are spectacular, with many pubs, shops and restaurants and frequent live music, creating a lively, friendly atmosphere. From here, take a wildlife cruise, a fishing trip or a boat trip to magical Lundy Island, a place of natural beauty, which will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Ilfracombe is the centre for some of the finest walking country in England. Whether you enjoy a gentle promenade walk around Capstone Hill, tackling the rugged coastal path or prefer the river valleys and tranquillity of the moorland hills of Exmoor, you will find the scenery spectacular. Ilfracombe also boasts a number of high-quality eateries, with local fish being prominent on their menus. To the east of Ilfracombe are the unique villages of Lynton and Lynmouth with its clifftop railway, and to the west lie the delights of Clovelly and Hartland. Moreover just a short drive away is the 3 mile long golden beach of Woolacombe Bay, which was been voted one of the top 20 beaches in the world, the perfect place to relax in the sun or catch some waves surfing. Ilfracombe is the perfect location for a North Devon holiday, offering you a gateway to an exciting blend of stunning coastal scenery, seaside fun, rural tranquillity and centuries of heritage and style.
