Beachfront holiday rental in Ilfracombe

What a special place this is. Me and my sister wanted to stay near the harbour as we know the area well, and Julie's apartment was perfect. It has the most wonderful views of the sea from the lounge and kitchen, plus the spectacular coastline from the balcony. As an added bonus the bedrooms look out over the town and harbour. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in and the apartment has everything you need - and some! It's warm, cosy and very clean; also so peaceful and relaxing to be able to sit and just watch the sea. Even though it wasn't warm enough for us to sit out on the balcony, we could still enjoy the amazing views. On the first night we enjoyed our fish and chips from nearby Maddy's and had a lovely meal in Santiago's the second night, which is also close by. It was very difficult to tear ourselves away after our long weekend!

Absolutely perfect place for a relaxing peaceful break. Cannot recommend it enough! Lisa really goes above and beyond. The views of the beach from the hot tub are gorgeous and the location is ideal. We will definitely be returning!!

A wonderful haven, tucked away but easy to find. The bungalow was spotless and very welcoming. Lots of little welcome gifts left, not just for us but also for our dog. Garry is a very thoughtful host, nothing is too much trouble for him and Julie, they made our stay wonderful. There is a huge amount of information in the property for the surrounding areas and Combe Martin itself is a wonderful village, with very friendly people, who made us feel right at home. We loved the place so much that we have already booked again for next year.

Really nice stay. Ruth was helpful & responded quickly. The house slept 4 of us comfortably and was lovely & warm. It couldn’t have been better for access to the beach where winter dipping in the sea meant we could get back quickly & warm up. Highly recommended & Hele Bay is one of the nicest spots you could hope for.

A fabulous few days away in Park Cottage with friends. Really lovely cottage with very comfortable beds (and feather pillows which was a bonus for us) Perfect location and massively recommend Miss Fea’s for dinner. Would love to come back again. Matt, Linda, Jill and Andrew

We loved our stay and will definitely be back! The house is very well equipped with everything you can need a just a few mins walk from the beach.

Lovely home, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Great for 4 legged friends with a secure garden and suitable furnishings etc. The home is in a lovely area , with great views over the estuary from the rear of the house, particularly the main bedroom. Bideford itself is very pretty and a good base for exploring North Devon as it is close to the A39 / Atlantic Highway.

We had a great time at Dummett cottage. All instructions were really clear. Even the warnings about the low beams/door frames.... can't say I didn't try them out though!! Great views from the back garden and study. We had a front view seat with all of the military goings on from the British and french marines who were practicing across the bay on the dunes. Great food at flame factory and great music entertainment at the beaver inn. Lovely walks around the coast at Brownsham and across the water at Braunton. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you..

Lovely and clean, facilities in the holiday village were great. Pool lovely and bar nice and friendly.

We loved our stay in Combe Martin, the caravan is perfectly located a short walk from the beautiful beaches, and there are wonderful walks on the South West Coast path and so many places interesting places to visit only a short drive away. The accommodation itself was really lovely and spotlessly clean. Please note there is no WiFi, and we feel it should not be listed in the amenities, as this is misleading. We finally purchased a connection to the John Fowler WiFi which was very poor and kept dropping off. This was frustrating and the only disappointment in an otherwise really fantastic stay.

What a great find! This bungalow was lovely, comfortable, warm and homely. There was a games console and dvds (although we didn’t get chance to try them). The beds were really comfy. The views from the holiday village were amazing…Even on the most miserable of days. We stayed during half term, so there was a bit of kids entertainment on most evenings in the family bar, but even if there wasn’t, there are books and games galore, besides the outdoor ones. Limited food availability (very basic) but there is a lovely restaurant across the road in walking distance too. Close enough to travel to any other Cornwall sights. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us.

This is our second stay at Atlantic View - and just as wonderful. Beautifully situated, with stunning views. A home from home - the space is very clean and well equipped. The holiday village is quiet, but with new facilities open which are lovely. Heated pool, bar and restuarant within walking distance.

Perfect location, accommodation was new and well maintained. Great having the onsite pool for rainy days.

Richard was very accommodating, the chalet was exactly as described, location was perfect and a stunning view. Will definitely be visiting again

Great house in lovely location. Layout suited us well (2 families with kids and grandparents). Washing facilities proved very useful. Pool rota worked well and there was always a time available that suited us (open 8am-7pm). Host responded quickly. Lacking house guidance but not a problem and host responded to advise. Note access into house could be an issue for less able and push chairs-steep steps to front and lowest step broken away (advised host so this might get fixed). Rear access via steps and narrow sloping and muddy path. Parking to rear -you block in your other car. Parking spaces not spacious but adequate. We loved it thank you Beach Retreats!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Naomi’s place with our two young children. The location is perfect - 5 min walk from the beach and literally a road away from the main strip of shops and restaurants. View is spectacular when having a cup of tea by the window! Use of the amenities at the nearby holiday park is a real bonus. Apartment was absolutely spotless, and had some really thoughtful extras, like a hidden doll house, some kids books and games. Thank you for a brilliant stay, we’ll be back!

apartment was stunning. great location, great scenery. Chris was very helpful on check in day. Love to stay here again

This is the biggest and best Airbnb we've stayed in. Apart from being spacious, uncluttered and clean, it felt luxurious and generous. EG The bed gave me the best night's sleep for a long time, the hand soaps were high quality, the hot water appeared almost instantly and the kitchen was generously equipped. We didn't get to meet Simon, but the communication was clear and we felt trusted just to get on and enjoy the holiday. A very special place and host.

We had a lovely stay in a great cottage, beautiful location, and lovely hosts. Would highly recommend.

very large apartment with great views and fantastic sunsets. I would happily recommend staying here. Chris.

We stayed for a few days to see the Earl of Rone folk festivities - absolutely perfect location right next to the beach. Incredibly clean, comfortable and welcoming space with a nice bottle of wine on our arrival. The flat had everything you could possibly need including a very well equipped kitchen with good quality implements (not always a given!). It's clear lots of time and thought has been put in to making this space feel just right. Lovely walks from the flat and a quick drive to places nearby that have lots of foodie options if fish and chips not your bag. Very much recommended!

Steve's flat ticked all the boxes- and then some more! Communication was fast and friendly right from the start. Diirections were clear and very detailed making it easy to check in. The property was clean and fresh (it smelt lovely) and it was tastefully decorated with some great artwork. absolutely everything you need is in the flat, along with some nice treats. The view is stunning and we enjoyed watching the routine of setting up the beach for the day from the lounge. Woolacombe has lots of nice places to eat, curry on the beach in the evening sun was a highlight. Thank you Steve, we hope we can come and stay again.

We spent a week in this very pleasant and comfortable apartment. It is well equipped with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. It has a superb view of the bay and is a short walk to the shops and restaurants.

Andrew was very helpful and his home was beautifully presented. Parking is super easy, it's clean, the balcony is great and what I also loved was the equipment for families. I didn't need them as I wasn't with my children. But there was a highchair, kids crockery and cutlery and buckets and spades. The rooms are very spacious, the kitchen appliances work great and the welcome package was really appreciated. I would very much recommend Andrew's home for any trip to Bude. it has lovely views of the beach, golf club and cricket ground. you're away from the hussle and bussle, although a five minute walk away from it. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
