This was our second stay in the apartment. Very well equipped and with a stunning view - couldn't get closer to the sea if you tried! Fabulous place to stay and relax.

Flat very good but one or two things could be improved. Please remember that not everyone has a smart phone so we had a few problems with the lack of instructions in the folder.Provision of towels rather skimpy, the second bedroom had just one bath towel, luckily we always bring some of our own so we managed but have a bigger pile of washing than Read moreexpected now we are back home, Finally. we are British so we drink tea (my husband says I run on tea!!!) so please would it not be possible to provide a TEAPOT. Even with all this we had a lovely relaxing holiday and will possibly return someday. Hide

It is a very beautiful and well equipped apartment with the most amazing views and secure underground parking. It is well situated in Westward Ho which has plenty of places to eat or get an icecream. We visited The Drift restaurant for a pizza. Pizza was amazing. We walked along the beach and around the headland to Appledore twice for a pastie or dRead morerink at the pub and along the cliffs in the other direction to Abbotsham. Also drove out to Saunton Sands and Hartland Point for long walks. Would definitely book the apartment again - loved waking up to those views. Hide

What can you say? The apartment was immaculate - the owners seem to have considered everything guests may require. Everything from the bedding to kitchen appliances to even the baggage trolleys, (which were a Godsend), everything was of such quality. The underground carpark was especially appreciated as it meant we didnt have to pack and unpack in Read morethe rain and gales that we departed in! We havent mentioned the views which were incredible, we will always remember until the next time. Its the first time we have ever wanted to book an apartment again before leaving so we sincerely hope this certainly wont be our last visit. Thank you for everything. Hide
