Self-Catering Oceans Side in Ilfracombe

Location and view across Atlantic ocean are amazing but this does not make up for the appalling lack of housekeeping. When we first arrived the apartment appeared fresh and tidy but very soon discovered that this was not the case. The kitchen cupboard handles were sticky and greasy. The grill pan was dirty and unwashed, the tea pot contained an old tea bag, the sofa was old and worn and in between the sofa cushions was a combination of crumbs, dust and other stuff. Whilst looking for an earring I looked under the sofa and it was so dirty and dusty and there was even an old CD. The radiator in the end-suite was covered in thick dust as we're most of the skirting boards throughout the apartment. The plug in the shower en-suite was so blocked the water drained very slowly and threatened to spill over the shower base. The mattress protector on one of the beds also had blood on it. We did try and phone Sykes holidays, on three different numbers but we're put on hold for so long we hung up. The main bedroom is also located very close to the buildings main front door which is heavy and noisy and in constant use from early morning until late at night. It is also opposite a church and the bells ring on the hour every hour so if you are a light sleeper this Is definitely not for you. There is no procedure in the information pack if you do have issues and a lot of the tourist information is out of date. 2017 bus and tide time tables! Place needs a deep clean, guest information updated regularly and a clear issues procedure with contact telephone numbers of people who will answer the call and provide assistance if necessary.

Everything was fantastic.. Incredible view, lovely spacious apartment that was well designed and comfortable. Was better than we hoped it would be.

The only problem that we had is that we couldn't get wifi no matter we tried.. I had a live chat with sykes and she gave me another code which was an old one. It didn't affect the holiday at all though. Just wanted to let you know for future. The key in the key safe out side the property for the yale lock is broken. It does open the door but takes a lot of trying

Fabulous holiday.. The apartment was light and airy and the sea was just below us. Fantastic falling asleep listening to the waves. Lovely balcony area to sit out on. The harbour and shops are just around the corner and easily accessible. Can't wait to go back. Perfect summer holiday.

Stopping here today, a brilliant well appointed apartment. The view over the Ocean is memorable. The place is spotless and well located for a wonderful stay in Ilfracombe.

The apartment was just perfect.. The furnishing, the décor, the location were all better than advertised. Usually when you stay in somebody else's home it doesn't quite feel right, you know that it's not your home because things aren't as you'd have them, sometimes it's only the smallest of items but it is enough to be noticed. Oceanside was just perfect, everything was just felt right from the moment we walked in the door. The location was amazing with the view out over the Bristol Channel stunning and it's not many locations where you have breakfast with the rising sun shining on you and then supper with the setting sun twinkling on the ice in your G&T. The partment is like Mary Poppins - Perfect in Every Way.
