Easter Cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, is a well-received holiday rental with stunning views and a comfortable, well-equipped interior.

While parking and internet connectivity are noted concerns, the property's charm, location, and amenities like the garden room and summer house contribute to enjoyable stays.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with comfortable bedding and towels. However, a few mentioned issues with kitchen cleanliness, including dirty cutlery and plates, which slightly mar the overall positive feedback.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to coastal towns and walks. The main drawback is the parking situation, which is a short walk away, but this does not significantly detract from the property's appeal.
Guests report the cottage as comfortable, with special mentions of the spacious master bedroom and comfortable beds. The presence of a single toilet and lack of a stand-up shower are minor criticisms in an otherwise positive response.
The cottage is well-equipped with a good range of amenities, though some guests suggest improvements such as additional T towels in the kitchen and a path to the summer house. Internet issues and the lack of a stand-up shower are noted.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches like the welcome pack with tea, coffee, and cake. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.

Have had a brilliant week and would go back to the cottage if we were to stay in the same area again.

The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had all mod cons with an added view of the Bristol Channel. In warm and dry weather the BBQ and Summer House would be a great asset. The beds were comfortable and the shower good. Yes parking a small problem but we had been warned!! Home baked Muffins and coffee pods a nice touch.

The parking is a bit of a pain as itâs a good 200 mts away in a farm entrance. Shame the local pub has shut but the village store is well stocked . Overall an enjoyable stay .
