Set within one of North Devon’s most sought-after locations, Millrock Cottage is positioned amongst all the action that Woolacombe has to offer. An array of pubs, cafes and shops are almost on your doorstep, along with Woolacombe Beach, arguably one of the best in the UK. This is the ideal property for smaller families who are after long lazy beach days, along with a lively village to explore. The interior is comfortable and contemporary and with features such as the enclosed decked patio for sunny al fresco breakfasts, you won’t want your holiday to end. One small dog is accepted at the property.

Inside this cosy accommodation, you will find a fresh open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a large inviting L-shaped couch, wooden flooring and French doors opening to the garden. The light-filled, calming bedrooms upstairs feature oak furniture and a tasteful nautical theme. Parents can enjoy the king-size room with green hillside views, while the kids will be entertained in the twin room with TV/DVD. Wash away the sand in the contemporary bathroom with waterfall shower over bath. Conveniently there is also a lockable cupboard on the front porch for storing beach paraphernalia.

The superb sandy beaches of Putsborough (5 miles), Croyde (6 miles), and Saunton (10 miles) are all worth a visit. Or take a break from the surf and head to the pretty harbourside town of Ilfracombe (6 miles) to explore the streets, browse independent shops, and sample local produce. From Ilfracombe, you could set off on a fishing trip, day trip to Lundy Island, or visit the privately-owned Tunnels Beach with its hand-carved tunnels. Spectacular walks and cycle routes are also available along the South West Coast Path; marvel at the rugged coastline and access secluded beaches and coves.

We booked a weeks stay at Millrock cottage for 2 adults and 2 toddlers. The location is PERFECT, right by the beach and close to some great shops and cafes. With the two kids having a property so close to the amenities and the beach was really helpful and made a huge difference as we usually stay much further up the hill to the beach so this was grRead moreeat for us a family. Theres aloynof beach equipment that comes with the property and we made use of these, again really useful with young children. Unfortunately for us there was a few negative aspects of our stay which ultimately resulted in us vacating the property two days early. This was a real shame as this was our first holiday as a family but due to the following reasons we made that decision. * The mattress in the main bedroom was rock solid and my wife and I were unable to get a good nights sleep. Whilst this might suit some people it was just too uncomfortable for us and was the main reason for leaving early. * Cleaning and cleanliness- When we arrived there was dog hair on the bath mat upstairs. Towels also had a damp smell to them. Couldve had a few more fresh towels to ensure we had enough for a weeks stay. Whilst we can accept that pet hair may be visible in certain areas we wouldnt expect it on bathroom facilities. We have dogs ourselves (didnt bring them) but wouldve just liked some extra care and attention when cleaning. We also felt like there was a lack of cleaning products in the property, we had to buy stuff like antibacterial spray and bin bags. The above issues/concerns are just what we experienced and the impact the bed and cleanliness made on us meant we decided to go home. We appreciate when staying in places like this sometimes things can go wrong or not always go to plan and Im sure in the future with feedback like this issues can be corrected. If youre looking for a no frills place with a lovely outdoor deck, close to the beach and amenities this is a perfect spot. Unfortunately for us the bad outweighed the good this time around. But Im sure as some of the other reviews show, it will suit many people just wasnt the right stay for us and our family. Hide

The cottage was gorgeous and furnishings of a high quality. Nothing else was needed all included down to a complimentary packet of biscuits with tea and coffee. Location was excellent once out the door you could see the ocean and behind the property lovely hillside views. Right in town centre but cottage away from the crowds making it private.

Just a few things need to be addressed. The kettle and coffee machine had water in them. Some of the pictures were very crooked, the big one downstairs was the worst. The bottom draw in the 2nd bedroom had Childs worn clothes in.

A small family, we had a relaxing holiday at Millrock. Finding a parking space was hit and miss, mainly okay, improved by a parking permit pre-arranged during the booking process. The modern, bright property looks as advertised online. It was in a fantastic location, just 5-10 minutes walk to the stunning Woolacombe beach. The kitchen-dining room wRead moreas well-equipped and compact. The upstairs had comfortable beds and enough storage furniture. It was quiet at night. Nice play park and restaurants Hide
