A wonderful place to have a long weekend, yes the weather was kind to us, but we think it would have still been wonderful if the weather was not so good.Spectacular views and a very good nights sleep was had by all, will return
The location of the property is amazing. Outstanding views and located right in the heart of everything. Was great seeing and hearing the sea so close by. Good communication and the apartment was equipped with everything I needed.
Highly recommend
A second visit to this amazingly lovely apartment. The weather was beautiful which was a bonus. Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation. Love the balconies and views.
We had a lovely break at this apartment, you couldn't fault the view nd everything you wanted was included within the property. Also plenty of amenities in the area ie shops, bakerery and places to eat and drink. We also found it to be quite easy to visit lot's of places around North Devon and Cornwall.
Light and airy property slightly tired in places but compensated by fantastic sea views. The property is literally on the sea front and close to pubs, cafes and eateries. Communications with both the property manager and the owners were excellent.
Absolutely beautiful apartment. Very clean and modern and just the best location. The pictures don't do it justice. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back...... we were gutted to leave!!
Thanks 😊
We were affected by the weather, there were no blinds in the lounge upstairs and it was scorching, very uncomfortable even with the doors open. Being so close to the sea when we had stormy weather we could n't sleep due to the sound of the crashing sea. The corridors are very narrow in this property and the two flights of stairs far too steep. We were expecting a luxury property from the photos and description; unfortunately this it was not.

I am sorry to hear you had both hot and stormy weather. due to the proximity to the sea these are elements we cannot control, some visitors enjoy watching the changing weather and sea. It is not possible to install blinds upstairs, due to the unusual architectural, shape of the roof, most visitors find that keeping the balcony doors open gives a cooling draft. The corridors and stairs are a standard width and height. the stairs are described in the description and with bedrooms on the first floor, it is possible to rest between levels. Sorry to hear the stairs etc. were a problem for you and that the weather was very changeable.
We loved the apartment. The views are stunning and we enjoyed watching the tide go in and out.
Hope to return soon!
Only very minor problem is that I found the Verbo app stopped working and I couldn’t send any messages to our hosts.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this well appointed apartment. The private parking is an added bonus. It is a short walk to local shops and amenities, and the beach is just across the road.
We would definitely stay again!
We stayed in this lovely property last week, it’s in a busy location in Westward Ho! Surrounded by shops, pubs, restaurants etc but looks out on a beautiful beach. Lovely walks. The host is easy to communicate with. Overall a lovely stay.
Had a wonderful holiday. Lovely spacious duplex apartment overlooking the beach. Great location with fantastic sunsets over the sea. Lots of places to visit. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
This apartment was just what we wanted, - the sea view from the main bedroom and the living room is superb.
All the accommodation was first rate and comfortable to chill out in. Everything is provided to eat in if you wish, and Waitrose delivered to the door. There are places to eat in Westward Ho! itself and plenty to choose between there and Bideford too.
The location is great for days out around North Devon.
Wonderful views from the balcony and nothing better than to fall asleep with sound of waves on rocks only a few yards away from the apartment
Highly recommend area local people nad hospitality first class
Property was wonderful for watching the waves & sunset along with people watching (surfers)
Located ideally for lovely cafes and places to eat
Located ideally as a base to visits surrounding Devon & Cornwall places
