Lovely cottage and great location

It is a lovely cottage, well suited for exploring North Devon, with a secure garden for any dog. Plenty of space and activities to do inside. Nice furnishings and comfy beds. The only problem was that the en-suite shower did not work, and the toilet took ages to refill the cistern. It wasn't a big problem as the other shower in the main bathroom was excellent and there was another WC downstairs.

This is our third stay at Ivycott and it was so good to return - we felt at home the minute we unlocked the front door. It is a lovely spacious property with comfortable bedrooms and great facilities- everything one needs for a relaxing break. Location is perfect. We can't wait to stay again.

Lovely place to stay

Really enjoyed our stay. House was lovely and had everything you need. In an ideal location for exploring the area. Is in a beautiful location. Don't let the farm nearby put you off as we didn't hear a thing, not sure if it's still used. Plenty of spaces to sit in the garden. Would happily stay again.

Beautiful house and gardens

Great sized property for a family of 4 plus large dog. Gardens were beautiful and location a short drive from Woolacombe. The house catered for all our needs and plenty of room to spread out and chill after exploring the north Devon towns and beaches.

Wonderful property. Well presented. Lots of things provided for children/teens (eg table football, table tennis, darts) to do which is good for rainy days. The beds are particularly comfy. It really is a home from home. The garden is wonderful and there is a big drive for ample parking. We loved it.I would say that the photos don't do it justice - it is even nicer in person.

Fifth visit - which says it all...

It was lovely to return again to Ivycott. A wonderfully homely and spacious property with a beautiful garden. Spotlessly clean on arrival. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms comfortable. Plenty of dining space and a cosy sitting room. Location perfect for walkers - and a short drive into Woolacombe for surfers. Excellent facilities for washing off/ drying/storing muddy boots/wetsuits/surfboards etc. We will definitely be back!

Lovely home in excellent location

The property looked good on the web site and did not disappoint. It is a spacious, comfortable house (especially the beds) with everything you need for a great holiday. The house location is also excellent being able to get to several lovely beaches and coastal walks without being stuck in traffic in a honeypot location it's self. We enjoyed the 'extras' table tennis and darts in the garage and the outdoor furniture (although not used too much due to the weather). Certainly hope to return at some time.

A really lovely stay

Our stay at Ivycott was, quite simply, amazing. A really lovely spacious house with bags of character & a wonderfully relaxed, homely feel. Extremely well equipped kitchen, cosy living areas, comfy spacious bedrooms - all spotlessly clean and well laid out. It was fun having the games room and having the garage to.dry surf equipment was very useful. The garden is beautiful. We didn't want to leave! Would we go back? Without a doubt.

Ivycott near Woolacombe

Well appointed property located in a quiet location on the outskirts of Woolacombe and it's fabulous beach. Our dog loved it. A spacious property with good sized bedrooms and comfortable beds. The only downside was the oversized and uncomfortable lounge seating - no good for posture or bad backs. The outside space is large and quirky with winding pathways on it's sloping landscape leading to a number of hidden spaces. There is a rundown summerhouse crammed full of outside furniture which was diificult to extract so we used our own portable seating which wasn't a disaster because when the weather is good you're at the beach. Overall, a good time was spent at Ivycott.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar, 2020
Thanks for the review and Im really pleased to hear that you loved Ivycott on the whole. Your constructive comments have been noted by the owners who thank you for bringing your ideas to the table. The owners have said that they will be addressing the summerhouse in the Spring and giving it a tidy up and de-clutter. They said that where the sitting room is concerned, they had wanted to offer enough seating for the six people that the house will sleep and realise that it's not a huge room so it can look a bit cramped yet cosy we think! The many cushions are provided in order that people can prop up and make a more upright seating position if they prefer not to lounge. We hope to see you again and once again thank you for taking the time and trouble to write a review.

Family holiday

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ivycott. Especially the Games room and Summer House. It was large enough for everyone to do their own thing or sit comfortably round the table and, most importantly, several dog friendly beaches nearby.

Great house in a beautiful location

The property was very spacious and equipped with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the outside space and summer house.. and the bonus was it’s walkable to the dog friendly beach at Woolacombe.

Great location and very comfortable

We stayed at Ivycott last year and enjoyed it just as much this year! Great location, comfortable and cosy. Missed some cushions in the lounge, downstairs toilet seat needed sorting and we had to clean windows to see the lovely views but these are small things in what is a fabulous house and lovely gardens. We'll be back hopefully again!

Family Break in Devon

Great family property with everything needed for a nice family holiday. Good facilities and garage turned into a good games room for table tennis etc. Some of the property maybe a little tired with the garden house certainly not in any kind of condition to use. Clean and spacious with lots of parking and in a good location for walking to Woolacombe over the fields off the roads. Certainly recommend the property to others.

Thanks for your lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed Ivycott. Just so others can see, the summerhouse is booked in to be replaced at the end of the season ready for next year.

Spacious home a short drive from Woolacombe beach

Ivycott was a spacious family home in a rural area with a short drive to the beach. The kitchen was well appointed and a highchair and travel cot was provided, which was helpful. Some of the house was a bit dated and well-used for example the lounge sofa. The house is dog friendly and could benefit from a thorough deep clean to remove any unwanted smells, the twin bedroom in particular could benefit from this and seemed a little damp. The toilet and bathroom doors could benefit from locks. It would have been nice to receive a small welcome package on arrival, including bread and milk etc. We enjoyed the games room in the garage. The garden was nice but was generally not child friendly, we were aware of this before we arrived. Overall we enjoyed our time at Ivycott.
