Light and airy. Well equipped and perfect for our family of five. In a perfect location for exploring Ilfracombe and surrounding areas. Our host Brenden, was also very welcoming and communicated well from start to finish. Highly recommended

Parking can be tricky as on street parking soon fills up. TV is a bit small for family viewing and although Freeview works, the Apps stopped working after a couple of days - so no live streaming. Cooking facilities were good though fridge needed a clean, bathrooms were ok but bring your own toiletries, beds were comfortable but living room furniture is basic and not so comfortable. We went during Xmas week and sadly no Xmas tree or decorations which would have added a nice touch.
