Very well appointed property in a good position in Westward Ho. Wonderful view overlooking the bay from front balcony; great place for breakfast and dinner. Short stroll along the seafront to shops, coffee and restaurants.

The property is on a very busy, noisy road. The view is wonderful provided you look straight at the sea and not the ten rubbish bins lining the road every day. Collected on Friday at 5am. Anyone with mobility issues will find the property difficult. Sadly not the restful holiday we were looking forward to.

Absolutely amazing property. No hesitation to recommend. The view from the balcony is amazing. We loved sat outside for morning cuppa and evening drink. Great bedroom and bathroom set up and EV Charger (extra cost). The Pier pub at the end of the road was great.

The property is laid out perfectly, we were a party of 7, age ranging from 4-86. The bar/pool room is a master stroke and provided hours of fun. All areas are very well equipped, and a simple thing like having Sky plus was a bonus and deserves praise. The bedding bordered on being luxurious, and the place is spotless. !SELECTED!We loved this place!Read moreENDOFSELECTED! Hide

The property is on three levels and has a large number of stairs. The three bedrooms in the lower part of the property are rather dark. The windows of two of the bedrooms are at eye level to the pavement and passing public if the curtains are open. There is some bushes in the front garden that do offer some privacy to one of the bedrooms.

The property is amazing, & what a view. If only had at whatever resort we stayed in. Between May-September no dogs on local beach, you need to go to far end of bay for dog walks-5min drive. However, 10min drive takes you to Instow beach which we thought better. Being really picky, an Air Fryer would be convenient.
