Great accommodation, lots of space a well fitted kitchen and really comfy beds. We loved our stay and Johns deli, next door, is a must. I really miss waking up to my amazing bedroom sea view as well as the lounge one. Several Hockings ice creams and an amazing crab sandwich from the cabin cafe are must do's as well as is the ferry over to Instow.

The flat is spacious and the view over the river is great. The beds are very comfy. The mirror door wardrobes are a very good size. The kitchen cooking area has everything you could need and there is plenty of crockery etc in the numerous cupboards. Over all this is a brilliant holiday flat, with a great view across the estuary thrown in.

A really lovely apartment. Well set up, spotless, comfortable and with wonderful views of the waterfront. Parking is a bit pot luck but you can always use the big car park at the far end. Its a great location in the middle of one of the best stretches of North Devon coastline. Highly recommend.

Very nice and clean apartment in a beautiful and prime position. The view could not have been better. A bonus to find it bigger than we expected and very cosy. In amongst all the pubs and restaurants so no worries about driving. We all had a really pleasant time and all the locals were very friendly. A great place to stay.
