• "The apartment is wonderful."

  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.

  Thank you for your very positive review. We have a newly installed Nest heating system which controls the boiler and all radiators which sits on a shelf in the lounge. Due to our ever changing weather & guest preference, we set to18 and leave it to guests to adjust to their preferred heat temp by rotating the dial eg to 21/22 and adjust the radiator in whichever room you want hotter or cooler- some guests found it too warm to have radiators on overnight. We hope you stay again and if so please call us on arrival so we help to optimise the heating to what you prefer. Property Owner

• "Beautiful apartment but both bathrooms need a little attention."

  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.

  We were disappointed to receive a negative review following your stay especially when our housekeeper had offered to visit the apartment to resolve the loose pop up plug fitting. Ordinarily this would be picked up during the checks pre arrival so apologies it wasn’t on this occasion. Since your visit, the issue has been checked and everything is now functioning as it should in the bathroom. The bathroom mirror isn’t heated however we found the light bulb isn’t coming on, therefore a replacement will be fitted asap. We hope it didn’t impact your stay too negatively. We always act on any negative feedback which fortunately is rare. Thank you for bringing the issues to our attention. Having a comfortable stay is our highest priority which is why we are investing in some additional improvements over the next couple of months. Property Owner

• "The apartment was spacious sea view spotlessly clean comfortable furniture ..."

  The apartment was spacious sea view spotlessly clean comfortable furniture comfortable beds beautiful bathrooms well equipped kitchen we will definitely book again we would highly recommend the only problem was navigating the TV controls but overall a fantastic stay

  Thank you for taking the time to review our property and we are delighted to get your positive feedback. The TV remote can be used in the usual way to search for traditional freeview channels but the full Sky package & Netflix is via the PS4 player which we appreciate not everyone has used before so takes a little familiarising but we are always on hand to help if there is any difficulty. We hope you will return again for another visit. Property Owner

  The location is great and close to all amenities. The bonus has to be the private parking available. Highly recommend

  Thank you for you kind feedback. We have an excellent housekeeping team and do a great job ensuring everything is ready for your arrival. We purchased a second car park space a few years back to ensure that we had additional capacity for guests as its so sought after in this area. Property Owner

• "10 Cove View is a beautiful property in the perfect location."

  The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of clothes storage space in the bedrooms. The decor was of showroom standard and the apartment was spotlessly clean, it smelt lovely as we walked through the door which was immediately re-assuring. The view over the cove was lovely, perfect for enjoying your morning brew. The property is on a bit of a slope which isn’t ideal if you struggle with mobility but it didn’t bother us at all. Parking is easy and directly over the road. I would highly recommend this accommodation if you’re looking to visit Ilfracombe.

  Thank you for your excellent review. Wuth the apartment being east-west facing, it catches lovely sunshine in the kitchen for your morning coffee and light streams into the lounge by the afternoon. There are quite a few hills around this part of the coastline which although challenging for some, make the area very picturesque. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will choose Property Owner

• "As usual Sykes Cottages did not let us down, and 10CV had every thing we needed which was perfectly clean and tidy which made the holiday very comfortable."

  Although we were initially looking for a cottage type accommodation, the location of 10CV was ideal for the town of Ilfracombe and as a base for the surrounding area - the parking situation was particularly good. This was our second holiday with Sykes for me (age 85) and my grandson (age 19). I look forward to more such holidays.

  Thank you so much for your excellent review which is appreciated and helps to inform future guests. We have an excellent housekeeping team and do our utmost to provide good quality furnishings. We also invested in a second parking space for those coming with two cars as we know parking can be restricted at times. Property Owner

• "A beautifully presented apartment with lovely furnishings, fully equipped kitchen should you want to self cater and very comfy beds which made our stay even more relaxing."

  The standard of cleaning was also excellent so hats off to the cleaning team. It was an ideal location for venturing on foot to the eateries and bars, harbour and beaches. We would highly recommend a stay and should we visit the area again we would not hesitate to re-book here. Thank you for making our stay so pleasurable.

  Thank you for your very positive feedback which we will also pass on to our housekeeping team. We’ve invested in good quality sofas and beds as we know how vital that is for a comfortable stay. The proximity to everything is one of its best features as it’s so nice to book somewhere for dinner and only have to leave 5 minutes to get Property Owner

• "The reason for 4 stars is the dreadfully creaking floor boards."

  When in bed down stares it is impossible to sleep for the noise of creaking floor boards if people are walking about up stares. Otherwise we were very happy with the very well equipped and clean apartment.

  Thank you for your mainly positive feedback although sorry that the flooring affected your enjoyment of the property. Being coastal with changing humidity the oak flooring does creak which unfortunately is not something we can eliminate and would require changing to carpet or tiles. Most guests seem to like the feature of natural wooden flooring but I appreciate it was not for you on this occasion. Thank you again for taking the time to do a review. Property Owner

  Really like the extra keys, so we could all have a set. The key safe could do with being replaced, terrible hard to open. Bed,s and linens superb also walkin shower very good. Please find a lemon squeezer for the kitchen cupboard.

  Thank you for your comments which we have discussed with the owner. The owner's welcome letter clearly explains where the bin store can be found. The key safe is in perfect working order and doesn't need replacing, it is likely that the buttons were not fully pressed (they need to click to operate the safe). 2 lemon squeezers have now been purchased.

• "We didn't think it was satisfactory for clothing to be stored alongside household cleaning equipment in the main bedroom cupboard."

  The result was that clothing smelled. Cleaning equipment should be stored elsewhere away from the bedroom.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. The cleaners have since been asked to store the mop in the kitchen rather than using the cupboard in the bedroom. Property Owner

  The location is second to none, with the front window looking over tunnels beach, and the back over the harbour. The front has a small balcony that catches the evening sun, before the sun sets over the sea. It is just off Fore Street, with a great choice of pubs and restaurants. The apartment was spotless and freshly decorated. Will definitely return!

  The equipment is extensive and of good quality so if you decide to a lot of cooking then you will find everything is available (food processor etc).
