  • "Lovely comfortable apartment with an excellent view of the sea."

    We had a problem with the Tv in the twin room in that it couldn’t find a signal & also there seemed to be several curtain hooks missing or broken on lounge curtain! Offended my mothers OCD lol Also couldn’t lock the doors onto the deck after taking some pics from there.None of these things I thought important enough to complain about. All in all a lovely stay in a wonderful place. Thank you

  • "The property was a fantastic setting for our family holiday."

    It is in a wonderful location, and the property is very clean and homely. I've also never stayed anywhere with such a well-stocked kitchen either. And of course, the view over the beach and sea is stunning. Perfect for watching sunsets over the sea!

    Stunning views, always extremely clean and well equipped. We would highly recommend Lobster Pot. Also you have the beach on your doorstep and shops and restaurants. You never have to move the car.

    It is perfect for our needs. Love to sit and watch the sea. Even in January there are plenty of eateries and food shops open in easy walking distance and the bus stop is really close too with bus to Bideford, Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. A great place to stay.

    Westward Ho was a lovely place to stay & all the staff in shops, bars & restaurants were friendly & welcoming. We couldn't have chosen better.

  • "A superb apartment, overlooking "the green" and the beach."

    My husband, myself and my 98 year old Mother spent a fabulous week here. There are absolutely no negatives it must be one of the best holiday lets ever. Cleanliness, comfort, range and quality of equipment provided, and views are all second to none. We were even serenaded by a saxophonist playing on the green each evening. Sykes were very professional advising me that as a first floor property we would be reliant on the lift, this proved no problem, it is specifically designed for the less able guest and very reliable. Once inside the apartment it is extremally spacious wheelchairs or walking frames can easily be maneuvered. Thank you to both Sykes and the owners for a great holiday to remember.
