  • "Lovely apartment in a fantastic location."

    A great base for the North Devon coast, and Woolacombe beach in particular. Thoroughly recommended for those that can manage the stairs to access it.

  • "Had a lovely time in Woolacombe as we have not been before we didn’t know what to expect."

    The apartment is lovely with everything you need and it is very well maintained and decorated very tasteful with beautiful views of the beach and some absolutely stunning sunsets.We walked all along the perimeter of Woolacombe and Mortehoe and had some fabulous food in the beach hut, book in advance as the Sunday carvery is very popular.Lovely cream teas in the tea room at Mortehoe and great food in the Ship Aground pub in Mortehoe.Sarah and John left us some treats and the neighbours were lovely and asked if we needed any help with anything but it’s just lovely and very near to everything that’s available within a very short walk.

  • "We’ve had a lovely holiday staying at Glenwood in Woolacombe."

    Excellent communication between ourselves and the owners, prompt replies to questions and very helpful. It’s got everything you need and is very tastefully thought out with all the little extras included for a great self catering apartment. Spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings, quality furniture., There’s even deckchairs, windbreak, body boards, toys for the beach and wellingtons and walking sticks. Special touches such as toiletries, cleaning products and suncream . The only negative is that it’s on a road going down into the centre so it’s an uphill walk back up. Plus its a second floor flat so there’s quite a few stairs. So it may be a problem for those with mobility issues or pushchairs as there’s no lift.

  • "Many thanks to the owners for such a lovely holiday apartment."

    It's perfectly located for a family beach holiday or exploring North Devon. The apartment was exceptionally clean (which always makes me so happy and sets the right mood for the rest of the holiday from the start), we loved the décor and the paintings and the wide window sill in the sitting equipped for looking out at the sea - it is a huge bonus, especially if the weather is not kind. The kitchen was very modern and perfectly equipped with all you need to cook - just like at home if not better. The notice board in the kitchen with all the information about best places to eat and other handy tips about local shops and places was very useful, as well as a special book for guests to leave their notes on good local eateries. The apartment has lots of DVDs, CDs and games in case it's rainy and maps and books/brochures with information to explore the area. I would definitely recommend this apartment to even the pickiest of my friends. A huge thanks!
