Combe View Reviews

Samantha
We had a fantastic stay at Combe View and would happily return. The property is spacious, comfortable and in a great location for walking into town, and we never felt crowded despite being a larger group. The house was lovely and clean on arrival, and we really appreciated being able to access the property early. The only area that could be improved is the outside space. As we arrived during a heatwave, we were looking forward to making the most of it, but the outdoor furniture needed a clean and there was some broken glass on the lower decking which hadn't been cleared before our arrival. It wasn't a major issue, but it did mean the outside area wasn't quite ready to use straight away. Dog owners should also be aware that the garden isn't fully secure. One of our dogs managed to get into the neighbouring property, which was a little stressful and meant we needed to supervise her closely for the rest of our stay. A couple of other observations rather than criticisms an additional toilet and shower would be helpful for larger groups, and a door on the ensuite would make the bedroom easier to use when someone is showering. Access to the garden is also through the downstairs bedroom, which can make that room feel a little like a walkway at times. We also hadn't realised there wasn't a BBQ, although that's more something future guests may want to be aware of. Overall, though, these were relatively minor points in what was otherwise a really enjoyable stay. Combe View is a lovely property in a fantastic location, and we had a great holiday. Thank you for having us.
Lovely spacious property with lovely views and plenty of space for 8 visitors.
Property was fantastic, parking with a large car is tricky, fabulous location with amazing views from the balcony. The property is high up on a hill which wasnt an issue for us. Overall, really satisfied with our stay and appreciated the lovely welcome pack. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic stay here last week. The location really couldnt have been better its just a short walk to the shops and the beach, yet tucked away down a private driveway so it feels peaceful and quiet. The house itself is spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. It was also extremely well stocked with everything you might need, which made our stay even more relaxing and hasslefree. The view from the hot tub is second to none! Wed definitely recommend it and would love to return!
Louise
Thank you for the most wonderful weekend. This really is the most stunning property , absolutely everything you need is provided. It is lovely and quiet and you can easily walk to town and the harbour. The hot tub is fab and you can look over to wales across the sea. The property is immaculately clean with beautiful furniture and looks newly decorated. A lovely welcome hamper was there with local treats and there were basics like tea , coffee, luxury soaps , shampoo etc. The owners respond very quickly to messages . You wont be disappointed if you go and stay here .
Andrew
A nice house with great views, slightly spoilt by scaffolding on the balcony. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped, the host was speedy to respond to any questions and a wonderful welcome pack, unfortunately we were there when storm Claudia hit, so the use of the outside was not possible.
This was one of the best properties that we have stayed in,the kitchen was very well stocked and very clean
Samantha
We had a wonderful stay at Coombe View. The property itself is stunning and has been refurbished to a high standard. Beds were comfortable and the sofa in the main lounge was possibly the most comfortable sofa Ive ever sat on. Communication with the owners was excellent. We arrived to a lovely complimentary welcome pack, which was very nice. The hot tub was a wonderful added bonus and the views from the house over the sea were amazing. The house is a short walk from the harbor and positioned well for all the local amenities. Would highly recommend this house to all my friends and family and would definitely book again.
Andrew
Beautiful property with incredible views and facilities best we've ever stayed in. Downside is vehicle access which is especially difficult at this property due its location and narrow access roads
Absolutely lovely house! Didnt have the best weather so spent most of our time indoors and had a great time, house has everything you need. Kitchen is fantastic, sofa is the comfiest thing we had ever sat on, the beds are next level and everywhere was immaculate! Fantastic that they allow dogs ours loved it! Hot tub is great even used in the rain which was brilliant! Only thing we would have liked was somewhere to hang and store clothes, there are no wardrobes or drawers in the bedrooms apart from the master bedroom upstairs that has a small hanging rail. And we had 2 dogs with us one that slept upstairs with their family and one downstairs with the others. The only access to the lower garden is from the self contained flat on the lower floor so we did have to disturb to let our dog out in the mornings. Other than fantastic would highly recommend and confident we will be back in the future.

Thank you for our stay at Combe View. The accommodation was just perfect for our visit and is somewhere we would definitely revisit and recommend to friends and family. Everywhere was clean and tidy harmoniously and thoughtfully decorated and set out for a restful stay. Some lovely kind and considerate touches the welcome gift box, paw cloths by the front and back doors, games, toiletries and outside seating. The hot tub at the end of the day, even in the rain showers!!, was an absolute treat. Thank you. Ps I am happy for my comments to be published anonymously.

Enjoyed a lovely break in Ilfracombe. House was comfy, welcoming and very suitable for a large family group. Thoughtful welcome pack and even fresh water down for the dog. View from the hot tub whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly in the evening was stunning. Just be aware hills are VERY steep if have older members of the party.

We had a wonderful stay at coombe view, everything had been thought of in the property and its very comfy. Driveway is small but I got my long wheel base Vauxhall combo van on the drive no problem. Everything we needed was local. The view from the property is stunning. Short walk to shops and harbour. We all had a lovely time and hopefully will be booking again when we come back to ilfracoombe. Thank you to the owners for providing us with such a great place to stay.
William
The property exceeded our expectations, and we expected it to be lovely from the pictures. Great value for money and a beautiful base to experience Ilfracombe and Devon from. Our kids and dogs loved it. Would definitely be looking to come back in the future. Thank you!
Very classy and very well equipped . Hairdryer, welcome basket of wine, coffee etc and fresh bottles of milk, plenty of towels, bottles of shower and shampoo gels.Every little necessity has been thought of and included.The accommodation is arranged on 3 floors, the parking being by the front door on the middle floor.Fully equipped main kitchen and the same in second downstairs kitchen with another fridge freezer.The downstairs is a fully self contained flat. Theres a pretty garden and a hot tub we sadly did not have the weather to try. Theres a large tesco on the way into Ilfracombe not far from the house by car.No walkable convenience store due to the VERY steep hill it is on. Parking on a platform drive right outside the house in a short cul de sac but only for a small car, turning is very tight.We managed it with a honda civic but only just, with much manoevering. Not for the timid driver. Its a new letting and everything is sparklingly new and classy decor. BUT the only downside is there is one large bathroom, and 1 ensuite shower room upstairs but only 1 toilet.The downstairs double has a shower and toilet to itself. 3 double occupant bedrooms upstairs have to share one toilet.That would be a problem with 6 people using one upstairs toilet and no toilet on the middle floor where the kitchendiner,lounge and front door is So with a full house of 8 people I could see it being a problem. It IS mentioned in the details but we did not notice that and wasnt what we expected as an elderly group of 4 who normally expect ensuite to have a toilet. There is a tiered garden with plenty of outside seating with protection covers.We had poor weather so didnt get to see or use them.The garden and hot tub have to be accessed via the front door and a steep side passage or through the downstairs bedroom. As a party of 4 elderly friends we thouroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely time. All freshly decorated lots of lovely touches. Fantastic views we had a great time and the hot tub was a real treat x
