! Surf View was pretty much the perfect location for our reunion of 7 old school friends. The house was easy to find with the extra detail provided by Sarah, who was also super responsive and accommodating to our enquiry about getting in a little early. The house layout is so spacious and comfortable, and beautifully decorated with art and funky details like the lighthouse lamp. The eating and lounge areas in particular had lots of room so we didn't have to be clustered together. We were particularly impressed with every bedroom having en-suite facilities. The kitchen was well equipped so we could cook easily at home, though we also had a very good meal at the Watersmeet Hotel. We walked down to the beach each day, and also found our way to the National Trust walking route which goes up and across the neighbouring hill. A good path most of the way - other than the exceptionally wet section at the beginning section after Storm Ashley! All in all, we had a wonderful time -this was the best place we've ever stayed and we're planning a repeat visit next year.

We have been holidaying in Woolacombe for 8 years, this was our first year taking a house over a lodge at a local holiday park, with our growing family we just needed more space, and this property has that in spades. Proximity to the beach is another major positive, we couldn't fault it, just perfect. The home owner was so responsive to any query we had, no matter how trivial, we'll be back!.
