Very nice cottage! And above all a very interesting location : you can easy go on foot to the calm beach of Hele Bay and you are far away enough of the busy town Ilfracombe (but worth a beautiful walk along the coastal path)

This cottage is within walking distance to Hele Bay beach. Big bedrooms, all with views and big bathrooms. Light, clean and spacious. Really big, lovely garden with pretty flowers. Unfortunately the parking situation is very tricky - you have to go up a steep single track with many deep potholes, then do a 3 point turn in a load of branches that scRead morerape your car, then make your way back down and turn onto a very small space with a rough edge. It's a shame because otherwise it's such a fabulous holiday cottage Hide

Could not fault this property. The layout worked brilliantly for us, my elderly parents and the dog. The garden is a great size with quality garden furniture on a sunny patio, plenty of lawn ( some of which is shaded by a very pretty tree). So many things to mention; comfy beds, crisp, cool bed linen, hairdryer in each bedroom, plenty of hangers, Read morefluffy towels, helpful labels on switches plus night-lights and torches. We also very much appreciated the scones, cream, jam, milk, bottled water, lemonade and fresh flowers which greeted us on arrival. We found the additional parking inside the garage very handy and the location, just a few minutes walk from Hele Bay and the Coast Path was perfect for us and the dog. Hide

A really lovely cottage. Clean cosy and comfortable. The garden is a real sun trap and we enjoyed feeding the Robins and baby birds. Parking could be awkward if you let it. There is space for one car at the property and one car in the garage, but the third was difficult as the natives were not happy. However, we parked safely and legally.

We were welcomed by a fab cream tea with scones, cream and jam and plus milk and cold drinks in the fridge. We found the cottage charming and very comfortable with everything we needed; there was a lovely big lawn area for playing games and and a gas barbeque (which unfortunately we were unable to use as we picked the worst weather week in AugustRead more!) It was just a short walk to a very cute cove with a good beach cafe. There was a reasonable pub close by too which served massive plates of food! We would definitely recommend Jewel cottage. Hide

We loved Jewel Cottage , it was spacious , welcoming , felt homely, clean & beds were comfy.
