Fantastic house and great location. Unlike some others we've stayed in the furniture was in good condition and comfortable. Lovely sea views and easy to reach the local shops and beach. Be aware that there is only one parking space at the property though. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic property in a wonderful location. The furniture was extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The modern kitchen had every utensil you could possibly need and the welcome gifs were extremely thoughtful - my dog loved the treats. The view from the balcony is stunning and the beach, park, cafes and shops are easy to walk toRead more. Hide

Lovely well equipped house. As there were only two of us (plus the dog), we used it as an apartment - only using the downstairs to enter property & get to garden. 2nd of 4 planned trips to area this year & while house value was good this time of year, I wouldnt pay peak prices. Amazing location (best I have stayed yet) But, the lack of utility roomRead more & garden access via a bedroom in house of this size doesnt work for us - especially in good weather when using outside space more.

This is a lovely modern house with excellent plentiful equipment in an excellent position. Its very close to shops , the beach and coast path. The beds and sofa were very comfortable and easy to use. There are some very good restaurants and cafes in Westward Ho and everything is within a short stroll.

The house is perfectly positioned for easy access to the beach & town. It was nice & quiet when we visited in October & we loved the views from the lounge, across the Burrows & out to the sea.

Our third visit to Wilkeys Beach House and were already talking about when were going to return next year. We love Westward Ho! and enjoy our annual trip; now weve found Wilkeys, we wouldnt stay anywhere else. Just me, my husband and our Dalmatian but the property can comfortably sleep 6; we just love the space, garden and the views. Balconies fronRead moret and back to enjoy the sun whatever the time of day and take in the views. We cant recommend Wilkeys enough and cant wait to return. Hide
