  : I liked the view from the apparent. The apartment was spacious.
  : The property was dirty. The radiator in the bathroom was dirty. The extractor in the bathroom was full of dust. The bath had black mold around the edge.The single beds are old and have rips.The oven was not cleaned from the previous guests. We found a large piece of Croissant or pastry in the oven. No fairy liquid was supplied. The fridge had stains in it. The balcony had not been cleaned properly. I had to vacuume the small couch as it had not been done.The outside balcony was filthy and the windows had not been cleaned recently as there was dried bird mess all over them.The carpet in the bedrooms were dirty. I could see shoe stain on one of the carpets.

  : Fantastic location and apartment itself was very clean and tidy. Perfect for a family stay.
  : I was disappointed by the state of the balcony. It doesnt look like its been cleaned for sometime. Given how amazing the view is I would make keeping the balcony clean and tidy. Plastic chairs were also extremely dirty. All windows were also covered in bird poo which looked like had been there a while. Both these points can be easily rectified which would make the stay almost perfect.

  : Stunning location. Amazing views of the sea and rocky shores from the back, and of the town sprawled across the hillside from the front. At night the panorama of the town all lit up on the hillside is stunning. Easy walkability to restaurants, pubs, shops, and walking paths. If you're staying in Ilfracombe, this building is the perfect location.
  : The deck overlooking the ocean was so filthy with seagull and pigeon poop when we arrived, that it was unusable. To step out onto it would have been to get the muck on your shoes (or bare feet) and track it back in. We stayed for 8 nights and I noticed that between holiday rentals of other units on either side of us, cleaners would come and scrub off the decks so those staying in them could enjoy the deck space. Not so with this unit--at least not before our stay. The town of Ilfracombe itself has a lot to offer, but it also has a bit of a run-down and dodgy side. For instance, on our first evening there as we walked (in daylight) a block away from the unit there was a group of six or seven young people (late teens/early 20's) committing acts of vandalism on a street corner.
