  • "The property is very comfortable, well appointed and in a lovely quiet location."

    We had such a good holiday despite mixed weather conditions and felt that so much thought had been put into providing a lovely place to stay. Thank you very much

    Thank you very much for your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather conditions at the moment. We also find it a relaxing space and peaceful location for enjoying the North Devon coastline. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

  • "The property is just as great as we remembered from last years stay and so happy we stayed again."

    The only issue we had was little or no WiFi signal which wasn’t an issue last year meaning if we needed to do anything on the internet or respond to emails we had to head out to find a mobile signal.

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay again. I'm so sorry to hear about the internet, we didn't realise until today there was an issue. We are in the process of getting fibre installed so hopefully that will resolve any issues. Our electrician has visited the property in the mean time to see if he can resolve anything.

    The house was very comfortable and met all our needs. We stayed there with our 2 grown children and pet dog. The location was perfect for us. We love coming to Woolacombe and Mortehoe and usually stay in Woolacombe but wanted to try Mortehoe this year and so glad we did!

  • "Fabulous cottage in an amazing location."

    The cottage is very well equipped and well furnished. It would be nice to have a bin in the bedrooms as the bathroom bin is quite small but that is a minor point. Parking is easy in the numbered bays across the road. Would certainly recommend going there and we would return in a heartbeat

    Thank you very much for taking the time to give us such lovely feedback. Taken note about the bin in the bedrooms- good idea. We hope to see you again in this wonderful quiet location in Devon. Property Owner

    Other than fabulous place and location

    Thank you very much for your feedback- it is appreciated you took the time to do this. We did have a stair gate but removed it as it was a trip hazard for people as the came down the stairs. We are very grateful you found a solution to this issue. We hope to see you again some time. Property Owner

  • "Wonderful property."

    Really clean and homely and everything we needed for a great week away. As described, easy to find and parking directly opposite the property. Loved the patio out the front of the house (despite the inclement weather!) Close to the centre of the village, so facilities in walking distance. Don't be put off by the stairs up to the house; two of the party are elderly but made it up and down with no issues. We will be back!

    Thank you so much for that lovely feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to do so. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay in beautiful Mortehoe despite the weather we hope to see you again some time. Property Owner

    Had a lovely week in Mortehoe at Rockham Bay View was a well kept property with all you would need as if you were at home a short walk to post office cafe and 2 pubs and just a bus ride away to Woolacombe with all its facilities

    Thank you very much for your feed back, it is appreciated you have taken the time to do it. It's good to know that the house has everything you would need when on holiday. It really is a beautiful part of the world that we enjoy exploring time and time again. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

  • "We really loved the location and fell in love with Mortehoe."

    It’s so well placed for amazing walks, trips to the pubs and takeaways. The convenience of the campsite shop up the road is also good. We were all really comfortable in the house from day one and by the middle of our break we’d booked again for next summer. The sunset view from the front patio was perfect as we ate our meals sat at the comfortable furniture. One thing we loved was the privacy of the property. We could sit as a family as the world went by, both inside and outside without people looking in on us.

  • "A beautiful cottage, tucked away in a very beautiful part of Devon, but on the doorstep of Woolacombe."

    Perfectly equipped with everything you could need, lovely welcome scones and cream were a lovely touch :) Only one thing that I would add to the cottage is perhaps a lamp in the lounge area just to make it feel a little more cosy than having the main lights on especially when you have the log burner lit, but that is just a little thing which we felt would add to the ambience in the evening.

    Thank you very much for your positive feedback. We agree the cottage is located in a beautiful part of North Devon. Yes a lamp would be a good idea in the lounge area particularly now guests are lighting the log burner. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

    You feel that the house is fully equipped like the owners would stay there themselves. Everything is super clean and of high quality. Nearby a lot of fine walks and views. Mortehoe is a quiet , agreable place with nice restaurants/take away/ tea room. The wide private parking place is a plus. We left the car unused during our stay, and enjoyed our walks to Woolacombe to go surfing and swimming. It is uphill returning, but we would make the choice for Mortehoe again!

    Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, its so nice to hear that you found our house had everything you needed. You are right, Mortehoe is a lovely quiet place but close enough to all the coastal walks and beaches. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

  • "Great property, the steps up to it from the road weren’t a problem and the car park space was close enough."

    On arrival we did question what we had booked, we noticed that the front windows were dirty (there had been storms, but the house keeper could have wiped them over) and the patio furniture was very rusty, but once inside things improved immensely. We very much enjoyed our stay. However, we found getting the temperature of the shower in the bathroom difficult to control and the wall bracket holding the shower head had one screw to hold it in place, so if you held the shower by hand the wall bracket would turn over. We also found the water temperature to the kitchen sink variable. After a short burst of hot water it quickly ran to like warm. A colander would be useful. None of the above particularly affected our stay, but worth noting all the same.

    Thank you very much for your feedback it is very much appreciated. Yes, the windows took a battering in the storms and it seems there was sand in the rain sticking to them too, the window cleaner visits the property once a month and is due this coming week. The salty air has affected our front wrought iron furniture but this is in hand now the spring is coming. We will look into the water issue, this has never been a problem before so thank you for mentioning it. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Mortehoe. Property Owner
