Falbala Reviews

Catherine
A beautiful house with amazing views. The house was spotless and very well equipped. Carpets in the bedrooms were soft, and the beds were all really comfortable. We used almost everything Falbala had to offer, and couldnâ??t fault it at all. We had a couple of issues we couldnâ??t work out, but Sarah and Brett replied straight away to help us resolve things, so communication was excellent. The friendly animals in the field next door were lovely and they ate all our carrots! The outside shower was perfect when we came back from the beach. We loved how we could see right through the house to the sea from the back garden, and move to the front balcony as the sun went down. The garden seating, equipment and washing line all added to our experience. It is a very steep walk up from the beach but after ice-creams and chips we all managed it. If not everyone can make the walk to the beach there is a drop off spot so can run your own shuttle service! We would definitely love to stay here again Thank you
Ben
Falbala is a perfect family holiday venue, amazing views, walkable to the beach and had everything we needed.
James
The property is outstanding & the hosts are very welcoming & helpful. Truly a memorable house & location to have a holiday.
David
Internally the property was excellent however the external garden area was disappointing with tired furniture, poorly maintained equipment and untidy areas which was unexpected at a property rated 5 star. Having said this we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Falbala as it catered for our needs as the equipment and facilities provided were adequate to satisfy our needs.
Shaun
Brilliant location, amazing views (when not misty), not far to walk to the shops although uphill on the way home. Good exercise after eating pasties on the beach! Very comfortable for 6 adults and a child with lots of indoor and outdoor space. Owners responded very quickly to a question we had. Unfortunately they no longer accept dogs or we would be keen to return.
Patricia
Lovely holiday home, very clean and welcoming. Kids loved the animals on the doorstep. Everything you want in a holiday home
Mary
This property has everything that you need for your stay. Kitchen is fully equipped and the welcome pack provided was a thoughtful gift. The open plan of the rooms made it very sociable for our group and you never tire of the views of Woolacombe. Close to a fabulous beach and some super costal walksâ?¦..we were lucky to spot seals! We also enjoyed sitting in the kitchen area watching the birds on the feeder and the sheep in the back garden. We had a super time at Falbala and we will definitely consider rebooking again.
