The cottage and its location are every bit as good as the website description. The views are just stupefying.

We had a wonderful holiday at Francis Cottage. The lounge and bedrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well kitted out with everything you would find at home including a large fridge freezer (handy for my Tesco delivery), dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. The path, accessed from the bottom garden gate, made it an easyRead more walk down to the beach. This was an early morning walk we really enjoyed with Finley our dog. The secure garden was also perfect. Hide

A very spacious and immaculately clean property. Sit on the balcony all day - watch the surfers, hear the sea, feel the breeze and soak up the sun. For those who are fit and able, there's quick and easy access to the beach and the village shops. Excellent holiday location.

The location is superb, you can look out to see pretty much the full length of the beech yet it is in a quiet location but only a 3 minute walk to the "centre" of Woolacombe. Very spacious and clean. Only issue we had was slow WiFi (made streaming programmes impossible at times-this seemed to coincide with wet days when I guess everyone was doing tRead morehe same). The property is very recently renovated and well equipped kitchen. Hide

The house was just perfect. Super clean and kitchen was very well stocked with utensils. Garden is secure for the dogs, and the views from the patio, lounge and master bedroom are to die for. We will definitely be back.

Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of space. Found the TV's difficult to use if you just want normal channels like BBC or ITV. I don't see why the check out time is so early and the check in so late. I woukd have thought a 3 pm check in would be more acceptable to most people.

Fantastic, well equipped Cottage, spectacular views, great location. Had a fantastic holiday with our 4yr old grandson. Only downside was TV, only way to watch mainstream channels is through apps.

Francis cottage was the loveliest spot. It is a little tired inside but that didnt detract from the lovely holiday we had with amazing views! I could have sat in the window all day. The place felt really clean which was nice and I would definitely stay there again.
