Fabulous holiday for 4

We had a wonderful stay ilfracombe, the view from the flat was breathtaking. The flat had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy and the bathroom was gorgeous. It was lovely to wake up to the sound of the Seagulls so much to do and the ability to relax at the same time. Really loved our stay would definitely recommend

Short stay

Found the stairs and steps challenging especially with luggage. Not aware of this on booking. Parental guidance was on Tv so any drama we wanted to watch was not possible. Must have been previous guests. The main street area of the town is very run down.

Great property in the heart of Ilfracombe

Great property to be in the centre of Ilfracombe. Beautiful view of the coastline. We stayed as a family for half term and used the apartment as a base for days out. Perfect location for Ilfracombe itself, which is lovely, a sweet little town and harbour. We were close to lots of beautiful sandy beaches too, including Putsbotough and Woolcombe bay, which were perfect for our children. The apartment had everything we needed.

Apartment with stunning view of Capstone hill

Smashing apartment in an uphill location giving excellent views over Ilfracombe. You need to be reasonably fit if you plan to walk to town. 3 flights of stairs ( last set very steep like a castle turret ! So pack light ). Very comfortable beds. Has everything you need to have a great holiday. Books,games etc. Highly recommend.

Much needed family time

The apartment was clean and tidy and well equipped, it was everything we needed for family time, the kids were happy with the WiFi tvs in each room so they could easily please themselves. I will say walk up to the apartment is quite steep, followed by the apartment being on the top floor it could be a problem for some but the view makes it worthwhile.

Summer break

Excellent instructions to find the property, wonderful views of the harbour and used it as a base to explore the surrounding area, including boat trip to Lundy Island from the harbour. Front door can be a little tricky to open and second flight of stairs to apartment quite steep.

Excellent little apartment!

Stayed for a 4 night break with my 14 year old son and we had a fab time, the apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We even did a jigsaw together when the weather was particularly bad! Thank you to the housekeeper who kept in touch regarding key location and hats off to her the place was immaculate! 5 stars

Lovely apartment with great views. My family loved it and Ilfracombe

We really loved our stay at Clarion apartment. It has everything you need in a holiday apartment and great views too. We loved walking around town and visiting the harbour, beaches and even the arcade for some 2p slot action. We’d love to visit again one day as we really loved the town and the apartment. The walk up gets your heart going but the views are worth it.

Felt at home immediately

Despite the steep steps up to the property once inside you immediately feel at home. Everything is clean and tidy and you have all you need for a relaxing break. The views from the apartment are excellent and the off road parking is all you need. Overall a very nice place to have a break.

Great stay!

Had a great stay in ilfracombe and this accommodation is in a grey location! So close to the high street and pubs and restaurants. The flat itself was light and spacious and had everything we needed. 2 great size bedroom and a lovely bathroom. The kitchen/living space was great for making breakfast and chilling out before going out to explore . We were in ilfracombe for a wedding at tunnels beach which again was only a 10 minute walk. We visited some lovely pubs for lunch, drinks and live music. The flat is up quite a steep hill but the exercise was good! I would really recommend staying here. Everything you need and booking is so easy! Will visit again!

Great location with lovely views to sea and harbour

Just back from a weeks family holiday which we all really enjoyed. This top floor appartment has all you need for a relaxing break, great location, comfortable accommodation TVs / DVD & Wi-Fi. The Kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms have plenty of storage and beds are comfy. Bathroom has overhead shower and is very clean and bright. Having a parking spot is a big positive as parking is limited. Out and about you have a choice of local beaches lots of places to eat as a family or a couple. There are plenty of boat trips and good walks plus aquarium museum and cinema. Surfing is available at Woolercombe with lessons for all ages . There are many attractions in the locality to suit all tastes and age groups so regardless of the weather you will have a great holiday.

Clairian apartment

Nicely presented little apartment with great view of the sea and surrounding Ilfracombe area. Would be quite cosy for a family of four but fine for two adults and a baby. Access is via steep steps but not a problem if you're reasonably fit. The apartment was well furnished and clean. The owners kindly provided a travel cot and high chair which helped us out a lot. The mattress on the double bed was a little soft and springy but still comfortable. The bathroom ceiling is quite low and I hit my head several times a day getting in and out of the shower (although I am quite clumsy at the best of times!) The hot water in the shower fluctuated a bit due to the combi boiler. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and there is lots to do in and around Ilfracombe.

Comfortable flat and good location

The flat was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Good location and quiet neighbourhood. We found it difficult to open the door on our arrival. We couldn’t get hold of the housekeeper on the number provided, but we managed to enter the property in the end.

Our stay at the clarion Appartment.

One more handrail at the top of the narrow stairs would be helpful, but the rest of the stay was enjoyable and the view from the windows were fabulous. The apartment was well equipped and clean and the beds were comfortable.

Lovely little apartment

The apartment itself was perfect. A good size and everything had been thought of. It comfortably housed four adults for our time in Ilfracombe. The stairs down to the front door are pretty steep and having the top (third) floor apartment was a little challenging, especially with luggage! The final flight of stairs are very tight and steep but thankfully with busy days you only really need to climb up at the end of each day. The apartment and communal areas were very clean and well kept too.

Beautiful Apartment with stunning views

A beautiful apartment with stunning views of Ilfracombe. Clean and modern with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen, everything you could possibly need for a self catering week away. Lots to see and do locally and plenty of local amenities. Good WiFi and phone reception and although there was only one parking bay we managed to park on near bye roads with ease. The town is very hilly and the entry to the apartment is steep but we had parents with us aged 75 and they coped well. A slow accent but worth it for the views from the front room. There are some low beams in the bathroom - but once you had settled in they weren't a problem. Even better than advertised. Thank you - we had a fantastic week and would book again.

Lovely seaside stay!

Apartment was lovely, great location overlooking the sea. Had all the amenities you need & the double bed was so comfy (didn't try the 2nd room). Lots of nice restaurants less then a 10 minute walk away. Tunnels beaches were cool, and we took a short drive to the lovely Woolacombe beach (15mins) which is rated the best in the U.K. Had a really relaxing few days here in this quiet location. Would definitely recommend!

Holiday made easy

Perfect holiday home with all the amenities you could wish for. Location was great, minute walk to the town that has everything from a cinema to a weatherspoons. All in all a wonderful time had by all and made easy by having the guides and brochures to hand in the apartment.

Clean, Fresh and Everything you Need

In my opinion Clarian is everything you need for a holiday stay. Clean, fresh, modern and well maintained. It provides all the amenities you would expect from a Self-Catering Holiday Let. The views from the apartment are stunning, looking across Ilfracombe itself with the backdrop of the sea. This is a great location, we went to Woolacombe Beach in one direction and Lynmouth & Lynton in the other. Superb holiday, wished we could have stayed longer.

Good flat, good location, good view

As mentioned in previous reviews this is a light and spacious, well equipped flat conveniently located for the attractions of Ilfracombe and surrounding areas with a great view and worth the climb up the stairs. Well positioned for the restaurants in Fore Street and we can recommend The Terrace Tapas Bar, Relish and fish and chips from Maddy’s Chippy eaten out of the paper on the front watching the sunset. There is a mattress topper on the double bed which made it more comfortable but the two single beds were uncomfortable – as there were only three of us we used the duvet from one as a mattress topper on the other. Perhaps new mattresses all around would be a good investment? Also for the dishwasher to be useful there needs to be sufficient crockery for at least two breakfasts for four people. Whist we knew there wasn’t Wifi at the apartment when we booked, being there and using our 3G allowances for checking information on local attractions and restaurants was not ideal and made us realise how much Wifi would now be a necessity for us when considering future holiday bookings. If the above issues are addressed we would certainly return and recommend the flat to others.
