Cottage vacation rentals in Ilfracombe

We had a great stay in the house. Our group was 4 adults, 2 children and a dog and it was the perfect size for us all. The house was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was very peaceful and so quiet at night we all got great sleep. We visited Bude, Clovelly and Widemouth over our 4 day stay and it was perfectly located for them. Roger provided all the information we needed beforehand with guides to everything we could possibly need. He also responded to messages straightaway. The hot tub was a nice bonus and easy to use. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting in the garden. I can't think of anything that would have improved our stay, I would definitely love to return.

We loved our stay in the cottage! It was so calm and peaceful. Peter had thought of everything and there was so many lovely little touches that just made it for us. We couldn’t recommend this place enough for a romantic retreat away!

We loved our stay at Miranda’s place! It was clean, the views were stunning & she was extremely responsive and helpful. Thankful for this wonderful spot for some time with family!

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

Nigel and Perry were fantastic hosts. On the day of check in, bad weather had caused a flood which damaged the hot tub motor. They warned us ahead of time and gave us the option to reschedule our stay or carry on. We’re so pleased that we picked the latter. They not only fixed the motor in time for our stay, but also left a bottle of Prosecco for us to enjoy. The interior was beautifully designed, offering a charming modern vibe. It came well equipped with everything you would need in a home away from home. During our stay, we visited the wonderful Clovelly to see the gardens and waterfall. We can’t wait to come back for another great occasion!

We had a lovely stay. It was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Good amenities and a beautful setting to relax after a day of exploring and surfing. Great location, walkable to the village and beach. Anne Marie was friendly and helpful with recommendations in the area. Would recommend to others.

We had a lovely stay at the Honeysuckle cottage.Helen and Jonathan went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. It was a lovely cottage with all the amenities you could ask for . Walking in to find homemade scones and jam, fresh eggs and freshly baked bread was a treat!! The cottage is in a great location and we found it quiet and peaceful.The hot tub was private and clean. Having a private garden made it easy to manage our dog as well. We have stayed in multiple air bnbs before, this one was special and we will definitely come back! Thanks Helen, Jonathan, Bear and Rocky

A brilliant stay in sues lodge. It’s so close to the beach! It was such an added extra to have a hot tub and the lodge was beautifully clean.

Beautiful, peaceful location. Great walks from the door. Perfect accommodation, well equipped, very comfortable, felt right at home from first minute. Met Jim….lovely guy

Owl barn was absolutely amazing beautifully decorated all appliances and furnishings you’ll ever need the views from the rear were stunning with the fields and free roaming ponies and sheep right outside the back door. The games room kept our 2 teenager girls occupied which was great for us! Alex was the perfect host couldn’t do enough for us was always on hand if we needed anything. Even took out 2 girls out in the morning with her to attend to the animals which they loved. If I could more than 5 stars I would!! Highly recommend this cottage and host

What a gem of a place. Tranquil, lovely views from the bedroom, cosy cottage with a relaxing modern feel to it. Thankful that Chris/Freya could accommodate at the last minute, as we booked the night before quite late. We had a lovely surprise when we arrived, to find out a few lambs were resting in the small barn next to our garden patio with their mamas before they could be released into the field. It was such a highlight seeing the lambs jump around and stretch their legs as we sipped our coffees in the morning. Great location, approx 40min drive to Heddon Valley (we did a 24km run/hike from Heddon to Combe Martin, with a stop and looped back), and it's a 12min drive to Withypool if you want to do a big circular loop approx 12km to the Tarr Steps and back. You will have suggestions of places to visit in the welcome pack and a mal on the wall. The cottage comes with all the kitchen appliances you need. We also got to purchase some fresh eggs too, tasty! A perfect short weekend stay :)

Great stay in Braunton. The cottage had all the home comforts and own parking space which was incredibly helpful. The location was fantastic for exploring Braunton and the North Devon coast. Nicola was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Crackington Haven beach is my favourite place. I keep coming back, year after year. Mineshop itself is nestled in a peaceful valley within walking distance of the beach. The cottage we stayed in this time is fairly compact and simple, but comfortable all the same. Checking in and out was easy, and they're friendly, too. Highly recommend.

Bramble Cottage was the perfect stay for me and my friends (and my dog!). It’s such a beautiful location and the cottage itself is so cute. I loved being so close to the farm animals. Inside, the space was immaculate and it had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the living room, which was super spacious and comfortable. Thank you for our visit, Sarah!

The beds here are amazing! Blackout blinds in the room made sure everyone had a good sleep. We had a toddler with us and a stair gate was provided for the steep steps to keep her safe. I would say that the garden isn’t particularly toddler safe due to more steep steps, so we couldn’t really use it. However this wasn’t a problem as the house is so ideally located with hundreds of beautiful places on your doorstop

This was our 2nd time staying at Helen’s place and we loved it just as much as the first time. Last time we stayed as a group (4 adults 2 toddlers) and this time just us (2 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog) and each time it perfectly met our needs. The house is perfect, a home away from home and in the most beautiful setting. Its location makes it perfect for exploring the local area and beyond! Thank you Helen for another great stay.

Our stay at Putsborough Manor Cottage was lovely and just what we needed! Visiting in November, we knew that a lot of the towns would be closed for the winter but the cottage had everything we needed for cosy nights in!!! Smart TV and a roaring fire, what else do you want?! Visited some local restaurants, as recommended by the owner, the local beaches, nearby towns and enjoyed some down time in the cottage. The cottage is exactly as described and just as pretty as the pictures!! Super comfy bed and a shock to come back home to a double 😉, very well equipped kitchen and lovely & clean throughout. Couple of issues with the Internet dropping out but not a huge problem & Jon was very quick to come back to us. We will definitely be staying again!

Communication with Mark was great. The house is really lovely, as described, and the oak extension is great. It is tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and our 3 year old grandchild slept well in the peace and quiet. Thank you Mark.... we definitely would like to return.

A lovely quiet place to stay. Lilac cottage is charming and clean, with very comfortable beds. The private garden to the cottage is a nice feature. The shared swimming pool was beautifully warm. The location of Court Farm suited us very well - a rural feel but a relatively short drive to Bude town centre and its beaches, or to Widemouth Bay coastline. We didn't go in but the pub opposite Court Farm was lively on the Friday night of our arrival (live music). It was, however, very quiet throughout the rest of our 5 night stay. Excellent communication all the way through from Court Farm Holidays!

The house is absolutely beautiful, it's better than the photos. When we walked in the smell was amazing. Great location, would recommend. Love, love, love!!

Kirsten was quick to respond, very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The property was extremely well organized and located in a lovely, peaceful area. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely quaint cottage with a nice log burner which the owners kindly preloaded for us. Good communication throughout. No problems at all. Would stay again. David & Kerry

My family and I had a great stay. Thanks Johnny!

Had a wonderful stay. Nicola is a wonderful, warm and friendly host and was incredibly thourghful and helpful. The cottage is just stunning - in terms of facilities, location and design. Felt as home as soon as walked through the door. Nicola really has thought of everything you could need. Thank you both so much for a wonderful stay.
