The majority of reviews highlight the apartment's spotless condition and commend the cleaners for their excellent work. One isolated comment about bathroom cleanliness slightly impacts the score.

Incredibly well located - one minute walk to shops, eating places and pubs and the railway down to Lynmouth. Straight out onto the coastal path and loads of great walks. The apartment has absolutely everything you could possibly need and all of high quality. We cannot recommend Blue Bay highly enough. Fantastic.

We have stayed in penthouse upstairs before. The only little thing was the lack of window view in the downstairs bedroom which I know you can't do anything about. The other thing was the heating it was rather chilly around 5.00 and you couldn't put heating on.although it said just ask to turn it on. When on holiday you don't want to be calling all the time. But neither of the above spoiled our holiday we had a good time there. And would definitely recommend going therex
