    “Property as a whole was as described, however it was very dirty with dust and dog hair everywhere, Not only were the floors poorly swept (they had literally just swept around everything), they were visibly filthy to the point we had to go to the local coop and get floor wipes to scrub them ourselves, Also the mop that was provided got thrown in the garden as it stunk of dog urine.”

    There was a constant stench of either raw sewage from the drains or a constant smell of cannabis from the neighbours. They had provided 2 fans for the hot weather although 1 of them was absolutely filthy with dust. There was no hand soap or hand towels provided. there was no door threshold strip on the bathroom flooring causing a trip hazard. There was mould spots on the bed sheet. There was no information provided about recycling as all councils are different where we live all the recycling ...

    There was a constant stench of either raw sewage from the drains or a constant smell of cannabis from the neighbours. They had provided 2 fans for the hot weather although 1 of them was absolutely filthy with dust. There was no hand soap or hand towels provided. there was no door threshold strip on the bathroom flooring causing a trip hazard. There was mould spots on the bed sheet. There was no information provided about recycling as all councils are different where we live all the recycling goes in one bin, as far as we could work out in Ilfracombe it all has to be separated, the recycling box outside the front door was full on arrival, it looked like it had been there a long time and was causing a stink outside the front door, i am assuming it has been left through the lack of information and has got things in there it shouldn't have. It is perfectly situated within walking distance of everything and would be a nice place to stay if only there was a bit more care taken on cleanliness and attention to detail.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found the property to be well situated and within easy walking distance of everything Ilfracombe has to offer. We are, however, disappointed by a number of the comments made. The property is professionally cleaned before every arrival, and had we been contacted during your stay regarding any concerns, we would have happily investigated and, where appropriate, arranged for someone to attend. Unfortunately, we received no phone call, message or email from you during your stay, so we were not given the opportunity to resolve any issues whilst you were in the property. Regarding the mop, there is no mop provided at the property, so we are unsure where this has come from. We’re sorry you experienced the smell of cannabis from neighbouring properties. Unfortunately, this is something completely outside of our control and not something we are able to influence. Information regarding refuse and recycling is provided in the property’s welcome folder, including details of the local council’s recycling arrangements. The recycling box outside is emptied in accordance with the council collection schedule. We appreciate all genuine feedback as it helps us maintain high standards, and we will ensure your comments regarding the fan and the cleanliness concerns are reviewed with our housekeeping team.

About the location

ILFRACOMBE

Barnstaple 11 miles.

The bustling seaside town of Ilfracombe lies on a beautiful stretch of North Devon coastline, with five beaches, much of it owned by the National Trust. Ilfracombe is only a ten minute drive from Exmoor National Park, with its rolling countryside and quaint villages. Ilfracombe's heritage harbour and quay are spectacular, with many pubs, shops and restaurants and frequent live music, creating a lively, friendly atmosphere. From here, take a wildlife cruise, a fishing trip or a boat trip to magical Lundy Island, a place of natural beauty, which will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Ilfracombe is the centre for some of the finest walking country in England. Whether you enjoy a gentle promenade walk around Capstone Hill, tackling the rugged coastal path or prefer the river valleys and tranquillity of the moorland hills of Exmoor, you will find the scenery spectacular. Ilfracombe also boasts a number of high-quality eateries, with local fish being prominent on their menus. To the east of Ilfracombe are the unique villages of Lynton and Lynmouth with its clifftop railway, and to the west lie the delights of Clovelly and Hartland. Moreover just a short drive away is the 3 mile long golden beach of Woolacombe Bay, which was been voted one of the top 20 beaches in the world, the perfect place to relax in the sun or catch some waves surfing. Ilfracombe is the perfect location for a North Devon holiday, offering you a gateway to an exciting blend of stunning coastal scenery, seaside fun, rural tranquillity and centuries of heritage and style.
