“Great stay in a very comfortable property.”

The mattress in the bedroom at the back of the property is very hard, due to this we stayed in the front bedroom. Fabulous location and thank you for our welcome pack. Visited the pub opposite, food was fantastic and dog friendly. Beach within a couple of minutes walk again dog friendly. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

“What an absolutely wonderful place to stay.”

I’ve been visiting the area for a number of years (in excess of 30) and this was my most favourite place to stay. The parking bay in front of the house was a huge benefit. The surrounding garden area - well maintained and tidy. Keysafe use - easy Interior was pleasantly furnished. Sofas comfortable. Well stocked kitchen - we wanted for nothing. The milk and snacks were a very welcome surprise - thank you. Bedrooms were comfortable for all guests. Skylight would benefit from a blind if you’re light sensitive - that said I slept the best I have in a long time. Bathroom was lovely. The entire place was spotless clean - thank you Teresa. Pub and shop across the road were really handy. 5 min stroll to beach and also to the delightful Tea room. 10min drive to Tesco. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay again. Thank you sharing your home. We absolutely loved our time

“Such a lovely, clean and cozy cottage in a superb location within seconds of a pub, shop and bus stops and just a two minute walk to the beach.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beach Road house. P.S. Thank you for the generous welcome pack, it was very much appreciated

“Lovely property and a fantastic location.”

So close to beach and well situated between Ilfracombe itself and Combe Martin. The property is full of everything you could want and need. Only thing to note is the shower does leak out of the tub onto the floor and the sky light in the main bedroom has no blinds so it gets bright in there really early in the morning and wakes you up. The other thing is the mattress in the main bedroom is very hard.

“Beautiful property, perfect location.”

We felt at home the moment we walked in, everything was exactly as described, and to be honest exceeded our expectations. We were sorry to leave and can't wait to return

“We loved our stay at the Beach Road cottage.”

It was warm and cosy for a winter break, very clean, well equipped and well presented. The goodies you left were very welcoming and the dogs loved the treats almost as much as the beach! We will return. :-)

“Dishwasher had leaked over the floor when we arrived and wasn’t working.”

.floorboards creaked in bedroom every time you walked on them, beds uncomfortable, fire wouldn’t light, fan in bathroom leaked, shrubs at the front steps overgrown so wet you when you walked past.

- Joseph, September 2023

“Beach Road House makes for a great stay in a fabulous location.”

Unfortunatley the property is let down by inferior cleaning and upkeep: leaking dishwasher, drinking glasses so smeared had to be washed before use, dirty windows, overgrown front hedges, patio area unswept. The management agency are clearly not inspecting the property. However, if improvements are made I would consider rebooking.

- Julian, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you feel the property makes for a great stay and enjoyed its fabulous location. We have taken your suggestions on board and have changed our cleaning and maintenance provider and believe that going forward the property will get the care and attention to its upkeep that guests deserve. We would love to have you back in the future. Property Owner

“Toilet would not flush properly.”

Leaking fan above toilet when it rains. Shrubs need cutting back, especially down the steps as its not nice walking under them when it rains. Also being a landscaper, the rope is a hazard down the steps, needs a solid rail to hold.

“Nice enough cottage.”

Could do with some outdoor tidying up, bushes cutting back and piles of leaves and litter moving. All mentioned in other reviews. The main bedroom has skylights with no blinds. At sun rise the room is flooded with light so not much chance of a lie in during the summer. Oddly we were unable to turn down the bathroom towel rail it was constandly red hot and had to keep the window open. Also a bit dangerous for young kids. Maybe it was just us unable to work the controls out. Overall a pleasant stay in a great location. Recommend trying paddle boarding at Hele Bay Adventures.

“We loved Beach Road House and would highly recommend it.”

Owner was helpful when we had an issue. Few small issues: cutlery was cheap and broke easily. Cleaners need to move sofas and clean under - lots of dog hair.

“Generally good but a bit low on basics, only one toilet roll, no kitchen roll, no info on recycling/ rubbish and poor flush on toilet.”

“Fantastic location and cottage.”

Modern and upto date we loved it even with the really bad weather. If you guys could add a full sized ironing board, oven mit and a undamaged mop it would be perfect. We will visit again so thanks for the chance.

- Craig, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear you had a lovely stay at Beach Road House. We will be looking to replace the items you have mentioned and hope to see you back soon. Property Owner

The property

Hele Bay, Devon is home to Beach Road House, which is situated in a beautiful area just steps from from the sand.

With its convenient location in Exmoor National Park and close proximity to the natural beauty of both the coast and the countryside, this home is ideal for groups of friends or families who want to experience all that Devon has to offer.

Its three spacious bedrooms, original features throughout the home, and off-road parking space make it a rare find in this popular coastal village.

Step inside and you'll find a combined kitchen and dining area, perfect for whipping up meals for the whole family to enjoy either inside at the dining table or on the patio, an excellent spot from which to watch the sun set over the rooftops.

After a long day of exploring, relax with your loved ones on the soft sofas in front of the electric fireplace before taking a shower in the family bathroom.

Then, relax in one of three comfortable bedrooms—a king-size, a double, or a custom built bunk with standard single beds—after a long day of sightseeing.

Gather your beach gear for the day and head down to Hele Beach, where you can spend the day in the sun swimming, sunning, and exploring the rock pools that dot the beachfront.

Visit the Hillsborough Nature Reserve via the South West Coast Path, and then continue on to Ilfracombe, where you can enjoy the town's secluded coves, the Ilfracombe Museum, the picturesque harbour, and restaurants like Giovanni & Luca.

Travel inland to visit Exmoor National Park, where hikers can enjoy the park's many trails and paths, or delve into history at Dunster Castle, soak up the landscape at Cow Castle and Webers Post, or spend the day admiring wildlife at the Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre.

The amenities of Beach Road House include all of these and more.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
