  • "Location and view really good."

    Loved the rough seas boiling away while sat outside… comfortable if a tiny bit ‘dated’ but everything clean and working as detailed in the original description. Nicely located as easily within five minutes of local shops, pubs, services. Thoroughly recommend Dinky Deli, The Lime Kiln, Slice of Devon and the George & Dragon. Would definitely book here again if coming back to Ilfracombe.

  • "This place is so calm overlooking the sea."

    You wake up every morning with a lovely view of the sea from the bed. We then had breakfast on the balcony looking out to the sea. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is almost perfect for a calming break away.

  • "This is the 5th time that we have booked and stayed at Val’s Seaview."

    Its location and outstanding views over the Bristol channel make it an ideal choice for visiting Ilfracombe. The apartment is clean, comfortable well-equipped. We will be booking again.

    So glad you enjoyed your trip again. We will hopefully be able to see you at Vals Seaview again. Property Owner

  • "Excellent week spent at Val's Sea View Apartment."

    Flat 5, Rockcliffe, Capstone Crescent/ Road. Very well equipped, very clean. You can see and listen to the sea from your bed. Lovely veranda over looking the sea. Even had seals visiting us. Quite central but up a hill - I managed it. Ilfracombe has many restaurants. Our favourite Tapas and Terrace Wine Bar on Fore Street. Had 6 fantastic Tapas and and a jug of Sangria. Also the Dolphin Fish Restaurant. Wide range on menu and good value for money.

    Thank you for your great comments about Val`s Seaview which is named after my mum who grew up in Ilfracombe. We agree with you on the restaurants . the Italian is also really nice if you go back. How lovely that you got to see the seals, sometimes there are also porpoises passing through. Never a dull moment looking out to sea. Not many places you can lie in bed and watch the waves!

  • "The apartment is well equipped, clean and tidy."

    It is situated close to harbour and visitor attractions. The best feature, however, is the stunning view over the Bristol channel from its huge balcony. This was our 5th week spent at this wonderful apartment in the last year.

    Thank you for your feedback and you are always welcome to come back to what we find a magical place as the view is stunning and fun to watch all the activity on the Bristol Channel. Property Owner

  • "What an absolute gem."

    The view from the lounge was to die for with stunning sunsets and sunrises. We lay in bed each night listening to the sea, no better way to relax. The accommodation had everything you could wish for and even though you're near the centre and the coast trail, you are far enough away for it to be quiet. We would definitely recommend Val's Seaview to friends and family and hopefully will be booking again next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay made even better by having a week of sunshine.

    Dear Dawn We thank you for your lovely comments about my mum ( Val) and dad(Ted’s) apartment. It is a gem and we are so glad you had such a lovely time. Any recommendations are always welcome and if you want to return you will be most welcome. Lesley Property Owner

  • "A comfortable, clean, quiet and warm apartment."

    It was well equipped. Relaxing to just sit and watch the sea out of the lounge window. Very convenient for all facilities including the bus stops. We would use again if wanted to stay in Ilfracombe. Just need to be aware that no parking and balcony faces north (which maybe an advantage in the summer) but this is clear in the details.

  • "If there were a problem one look off the balcony and all would be forgotten!"

    The flat was exactly as described and as seen in the photographs. The chairs were comfortable and made viewing of the the ocean a real luxury. The all important sleep zone was a lovely and comfortable bed with a cloud soft and super snuggly duvet. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with practically everything that you'd need. Sadly the only negative was the dishwasher being Out of Order with a Do Not Use sticker on it. (Not an inconvenience for us) Ilfracombe was a delightful town with some fabulous walks, great beaches and lots of the friendliest, helpful shop and eatery staff around.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback. So glad that you liked the apartment. It is a magical place being so close to the water . On your point about the dishwasher. The dishwasher is unfortunately out of action and rather than there being a big gap it is left in situ. We have made a point in the specification that there isnt a dishwasher provided so it is an honest description. Property Owner

  • "The view from the balcony over the sea gives this property the wow factor."

    The property owners have put much thought into what’s provided in the apartment even down to a good pair of binoculars to view ships and birds. The apartment was clean and comfortable and we were very impressed, so much so that we have booked another stay in July. The owner was very helpful with useful information prior to our arrival.

    Thank you for your feedback. We find it a magical place to stay. You can’t get much closer to the water without getting wet! Property Owner

  • "The apartment is in a beautiful location with stunning views from the back."

    Ideal for 2 visitors, a wonderful spot. The bed is comfortable and clean and the settee is one that can be well settled into. The balcony is a great spot to listen to the sea, drink a coffee or eat breakfast. Highly recommended. Ilfracombe is also a little gem. Something for everyone to do.

  • "Lovely flat with the most amazing views."

    Great to have such a generous balcony, that is covered, to experience it from. I sat on at least one occasion watching the sea at night with a glass of wine as the rain poured but remaining dry. Excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful

  • "The cottage was lovely except for the balcony which was dirty with seagull droppings and very old furniture."

    Everything in the cottage was lovely except for sofa which was old and saggy and uncomfortable. The bed was very comfortable and we got a really good night's sleep. The cottage had everything we needed and we had a nice break.

    The seagulls are a coastal feature and although the balcony is cleaned weekly, they can still present an ongoing annoyance. Whilst not to everyone’s taste, the outdoor furniture was craftsman built and provides a comfortable resting place to enjoy the spectacular view or an al fresco breakfast. The duck down cushion fill on the sofa occasionally needs plumping up and the two swivel armchairs provide a very comfortable alternative. Property Owner

    The balcony and the view was breathtaking .
