South Bay Villa was a lovely property and we would love to stay again on our next visit to Ilfracombe. Our Daughter said it was the best house we have stayed in. It is ideally situated, comfortable, well equipped and clean. We all loved how it was decorated. A perfect place to relax.

Good location, easy walk to Ilfracombe beaches and harbour area. Parking is an absolute nightmare - we never got parked on the street and had to pay for parking in local car parks. House nice and big and pleasant to relax in but smell of damp overpowering and I had to buy air fresheners to combat it. Ensuite bathroom just has a sand-loo which meansRead more it cant be used like a normal toilet, no loo paper can be flushed, not that great. Lidl at end of road very convenient. Hide

A beautiful Victorian villa, tastefully restored and elegantly decorated. Spacious and homely, my family could not have asked for more. We are so grateful for how quickly the house was prepared for us after our previous booking cancelled 24 hours before our arrival from all over the country! Thank you!
