Drummetts Reviews

Lesley
Beautiful house and veiw. Very spacious and well equipt and lots of useful local information. We arrived to a lovely welcome basket with a cream tea and some esentials which were very much appreciated. The walk to the lovely beach is short but very steep on return. We all enjoyed our time in the house and the local walks, a great base for children, adults and dog!
Richard
A fantastic property in a fantastic location with breathtaking views of the sea. Everything in the house was first rate, rooms, furnishings and equipment. We had a lovely time and would certainly recommend it.
David
Wonderful views house is superb DonĂ¢??t take big car as approach is tight. Lee is pretty village
Justyn
We had a wonderful stay at Drummetts. The location is stunning, with fantastic views over the bay from the kitchen diner. On warmer days it is lovely to slide open the bifolds or sit at the outside table. The house was well equipped and comfortable and having most of the rooms en-suite went down well with the family. We recommend the south coast walk to Ilfracombe followed by breakfast at the Lime Kiln. More locally we also enjoyed exploring the sandy cove through the rock tunnels. The beaches at Woolacambe and Saunton are enormous and almost deserted. Just be prepared for steep climbs up the local lanes!
Kaye
A fabulous property with superb views and great equipment. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend.
