10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
The property is very well kept, clean and comfortable. Positioned in an elevated location. We were a group of four, two couples, the rooms were very well presented with all the beds beautifully made and plentiful towels provided. On arrival, a very simple and well communicated key safe code was provided which allowed us instant access to the house. There is a dedicated parking space and about 10 steps up to the front door. The property is otherwise level. The highlight is the hot tub which was clean and set for use. There is a cover which needs to be removed and could be heavy and a bit awkward if you are infirm or not quite strong but there’s lots of friendly people about the site who would help I’m sure. There are lovely views from the house and the hot tub over the top of Watermouth Castle towards the sea. Ilfracombe is about 15 minutes drive away and has a large Tescos for any supplies you might need. There’s a bar on-site that serves a very good breakfast and lots of other good food run by a lovely helpful couple. A nice touch was a litre of milk, cookies and crisps left by the owner as a little welcome for you on arrival. All in all it’s a lovely lodge, in a nice location which was perfect for our three night stay. Thoroughly recommended.
Spare toilet rolls and a hairdryer would have been appreciated.

Quite spacious and ideal location for a wedding at Watermouth Cove
Outdoor furniture to sit and admire the view, like a settee and coffee table arrangement would have been nice as there was room. Some internal doors need the handles tightened up, screws loose. Not enough mirrors in bedrooms to blow dry hair with socket nearby. Full length mirrors in main bedroom would have been good. Outdoor gate into hot tub area needs repairing, loose lats. It was a pity we unaware when booking there was a swimming pool, kids park, club house etc on site which was not advertised.
