"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. Property Owner

"We had a great week staying at Rockham Bau View."
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

"Fabulous cottage!"
Clean and tidy and stocked with all essentials. Wonderful scones and milk were a welcoming touch. The owner Jo was very helpful and responsive.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Only thing I would say is could do with a stair gate, as our dog is used to being upstairs at night when at home, so we used the fire guard to stop him having a mooch upstairs."
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 in a lovely location."
Very clean and comfortable. The outside space at the front is a bonus and where we sat most evenings.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback. We agree the location is perfect for walking and accessing the beaches. Its nice to know that you had a comfortable stay. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in beautiful Morthoe in a quiet setting but with a well stocked shop at the nearby camp site in close proximity."
Good pubs and fish and chip shop in the village. A stones throw away from beautiful walks along the coastal path. Cottage well kept and clean generally and well stocked. Even provided dishwasher tablets, tea and coffee! And a lovely surprise cream tea and pint of milk greeted us on arrival. Would definitely stay again. Jo very quick to respond to email queries and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us feedback. Im so glad you enjoyed this beautiful part of North Devon and our cottage. We hope to see again some time. Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage."
Spacious and comfortable. It felt lovely and homely. We ll definitely book up again in a few years time !
Thank you for your lovely feed back and taking the time to do it. Look forward to seeing you again in beautiful Mortehoe. Property Owner

"Lovely light house, good accommodation and tasty welcome scones, jam and cream."
Also useful having the pint of milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again if we wish to do some more coastal walking.
Thank you very much for your comments. It's nice to know the cream tea is welcome. The coastal walks are really beautiful there and Rockham Bay View is a very convenient base to assess these without having to get the car out. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

"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

"We had an amazing stay at No."
4 Rockham Bay View. Perfect location, beautiful coastal walks right on your doorstep and is also within walking distance to Woolacombe Bay and its beautiful beach. The property was clean, tidy and comfortable, which was especially needed after a full day of walking! Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such lovely feedback. We are glad you had a wonderful stay in North Devon, enjoying its beautiful coast line and walks- the cottage really is in a perfect location for making the most of the coastal paths and beaches. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"It was nicer than the pictures."
More outside space than anticipated with a seating area at the front and it was great being at the end of the row of cottages which meant that we had more privacy. New sofas and a very well equipped kitchen.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make those lovely comments. It is a great position particulary when the sun is shining so the outside space at the front can be enjoyed. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

"Lovely house, or even better suited: home."
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

"We had a wonderful stay at Rockham Bay View a very lovely cottage with open plan kitchen living and dining areas."
The kitchen had everything you need. Plenty of cushions provided for outdoor furniture. Just 2 small things that would make everything perfect would be a king size bed in the main bedroom instead of the double and a hairdryer Otherwise we would highly recommend. Just bring your suitcase and chill.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the suggestion of king size bed- we are actually looking into that this week. Good point about the hair dryer, I'll leave mine out for guest use. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

Great property in good location in nice village … would recommend A great base for lots of local walks and short car journeys to beaches and days out
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. It really is a great location particularly for the coastal paths. So glad you had an enjoyable holiday and would recommend our house to other people wishing to holiday in that area. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"We enjoyed a lovely week at rock view."
It is situated in a superb location. The coast line is amazing and seems to change each day and is only a couple of minutes away from this lovely cottage. The cottage is spacious, very clean with all facilities you need. We shall return !
You are absolutely right. There is nothing like this coast line, we love it too. It is perfect to be able to walk right onto the coastal path within a couple of minutes from the house. So glad you are planning another trip. Property Owner

"Thank you for sharing your lovely residence with us."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect. Kind regards, Dan and family.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed beautiful Mortehoe and our cottage. 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

"Fantastic location!"
Fabulous house, really well laid out with a porch that was a great boot room & enclosed garden with sea view at the front. The house was warm (we stayed in February) and well equipped, we would love to stay again!
Thank you for your lovely comments. It's good to know you were warm with all the high winds and storms going on outside. So glad you enjoyed the location- we love it, right by the coastal path for beautiful walks whatever the time of the year. Hope you see you again soon. Property Owner

"We had such a great, comfortabke stay and wanted for nothing."
The cream tea left for us was the icing on the cake! This house is in a great location and we would definitely recommend.
So glad you enjoyed your stay with us in North Devon. Thank you for your lovely comments about our house. Property Owner

"Very well appointed property, presented to a high standard, everything as described."
Good location to visit Woolacombe and North Devon beaches. Plenty of local walks with footpaths only a short stroll from the property.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. Hope to see you again. Property Owner
-
"Firstly the steps were not described in your detail."
As people in their 70’s we found the 30 steps to the cottage very difficult. Second there were signs of mould on the coving at the foot of the stairs, and around the main bedroom window. Finally there were no toilet roll holders.
Thank you very much for your feedback. The details of the property were amended after you booked your stay with us, so unfortunately you wouldn't have seen them. We do hope this don't spoil your holiday to North Devon. We have visited the property recently our selves and dealt with the mould, thank you for letting us know. Property Owner

"Well cared for and appointed cottage in a beautiful setting with dramatic North Devon scenery right from the front door."
Close to beaches, both sandy and rocky. Mortehoe is so picturesque, lovely to wander around or just sit and wait for your fish and chips!
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
