Summary: Booking this property was easy, the property manager was on hand straight away when we had a problem with finding the place. This house sorted our needs. Lovely big kitchen and lounge area where we could enjoy all the company from a 6 to 72year old! The views are fantastic and position just great! The house itself could be wonderful. It definately needs some TLC in lots of places - thread bare carpets, football table - the players had no heads, the floor in the ballroom is lifting, grand piano with several keys not working, cracks in the sinks in the kitchen. What let it down for us was the cleanliness. Mainly thick spider webs at the windows and sky lights that would not have happened overnight, the oven! and dog hairs that were there before we got there. Other places could have done with a good clean too! We found out that the place is for sale so can understand that you wouldnt want to spend lots on it, but while letting it out just keep it clean.

Summary: Family party of 3 generations. 13 people.We loved all the space and big rooms. Bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were clean and well equipped. Some of the house needs updating and painting.

Summary: Amazing location and views, huge house with plenty of room for a family get together. Nice, well equipped kitchen. I would only say that for the price charged the property could do with a refresh; the furniture and decoration was quite worn, carpet threadbare in places, the beds were rather small and hard, one bedroom door would not shut, one oven not working. Table footy so old it had pegs sellotaped on for missing players. We were fortunate to have a sunny week but the upstairs bedrooms got hot and were uncomfortable at night - would expect aircon at this price. Instructions for parking and recycling were confusing. Overall a reasonably pleasant stay but not perfect.

Summary: We greatly enjoyed our stay at Big Sea House. The location & views were excellent, the property had the space & facilities that we needed and so we were able to enjoy our week in Ilfracombe. The property decor could be updated & there are a few things that need fixing but these did not detract from our enjoyable experience.

Summary: This was an amazing stay, the property was beautiful. The views were amazing and the beds were so comfy. There was 16 of us in total and there was more than enough room for all of us. The children loved running around the rooms and we all enjoyed playing the games that were there when the weather wasnt good. We will be back next year as i dont think we could find anywhere better.

Summary: Some are only very slight issues, but add up to quite a few. Long walk to car park, made worse in the rain. Appreciate piano is old, but some of family looked forward to providing musical entertainment. Very disappointed as too many non functioning keys to play anything. Ballroom smelled musty and dank. Football table had many broken pieces. Outside wicker seating tacky and with holes. Cushions in need of a very good clean. Plants growing over eating area. Some missing sink plugs. Hard to wash up in kitchen sinks as plugs don't hold water. Very high pressure in some cold taps. Some, especially children soaked as water quickly splashed out of sinks. Empty soap/body wash containers. Nowhere to dry clothes either inside or out - some form of drying airer needed. Rubbish/recycling not very clear. No instructions in kitchen as mentioned. Requested to put rubbish in large blue gull proof bags in courtyard. These bags were wet & filthy. Would be better to simply leave full bin bags in utility room. On a positive note kitchen and lounge area very well appointed. Sky sports channel very much appreciated.

Summary: Group of friends came together to stay here to celebrate a 50th birthday. Great space for all to stay without being on top of one another and be able to cook and eat comfortably. Amazing views and not too far away from the harbour for a stroll for an ice cream! Would definitely book again!
