The cottage was a lovely modern detached property on a newish estate, with just a 10 minute walk to an amazing beach. Quite a slog back up as its very steep so just worth noting. There was a lovely secure garden for the doggies and a great games room if you have children. The kitchen was well equipped and the utility room came in very useful on wetRead more days. Beds were very comfy with plenty of towels. Lynton and Lynmouth are well worth a visit especially the cafe near the funicular. Hide

This is a nice house with lovely equipment and toys. The owners clearly take pride in providing plenty of extras.The downsides however. and I am astonished no one else has mentioned it ...all the floors creak constantly which is very irritating and noisy. Also. it needs to be made more clear that the walk down to town and back is incredibly steep. Read moreNot suitable for small children, the elderly or disabled which meant relying on cars Hide

Spacious and clean, has everything you need in the kitchen, plenty of children's play items. Good garden seating to enjoy the evenings. The 10 minute walk to the beach is quite steep. Lovely huge beach parking ok with a daily ticket allowing you to come and go during the day.

Clean & comfortable holiday house with excellent dog safe garden. The 10 minute walk to the beach is down a very steep hill so disappointing for us. Instow beach was amazing for dog walks and Appledore an interesting village.

The cottage is beautiful, spacious and well equipped. With 4 adults and 4 children (plus 1 very small dog) it was also surprisingly easy to keep clean.

This was our second holiday at Long Beach this year! We liked it so much, we came back. Lovely house, a real home from home. Comfy beds, lots of room for everyone in the lounge and kitchen diner. Great games room. Lovely, quiet area and near to the town without being bothered by noise. Great accommodation. Thank you Long Beach.

Lovely spacious house very handy for walking to the beach. Comfortable beds and nice bedding. Fully equipped for every need. If anything we thought the kitchen floor could have been cleaner. Managed to find a vacuum cleaner but not very suitable for the vinyl floor covering.
