"Have known this hotel for a number of years and it was one of the best in the area but now needing a facelift without spoiling its design.

"Arrived late at our stay and then realised that we had in fact booked for the weekend after! Disaster after a 6 hour drive and very little options. We apologised and explained the error to our host. Amazingly and also luckily the host immediately went to work setting up an alternative glamping pod for us to stay in. The place was immaculate, hosts are extremely friendly and everything about the trip was perfect and as described. We will certainly be returning."

"We stayed at Waterland Farm as a family of 9 (plus 1 dog) for a long weekend break and it was brilliant. The house is very spacious with lots of facilities, including a toy room for the kids, a PS /x-box and old-school vinyl record player. The outdoor area is massive and the kids loved the football goal and playground. As it states the field isn’t secure for a dog as there are open areas but she still enjoyed a run around. Overall a great place to stay and we would return! "

Westbeach Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"Amazing apartment- really clean & spacious. Only gave 4 out of 5 stars because of the derelict building site next door- sorry to say it is creepy! Would defo book these apartments again as good value for money & so close to seafront"

Whitewater, with expansive sea views and hot tub

10/10 Excellent

"stayed at Whitewater with my family of 12 and we had an amazing time! The house is absolutely beautiful and spacious, with the most incredible views of the sea and town. The sunsets were stunning. All the rooms were clean, and having an ensuite with every room was a real bonus. We also loved the hot tub, games room and cinema,there was something for everyone to enjoy! A truly wonderful place to stay and great communication from Ann- Louise I highly recommend Whitewater."

Durrant House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful and friendly. Good service. Hotel dated but overall stay was good."

Abbotsham Court- country house set in 2 acres close to South west coast path

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic time staying here!! The host Stephen was incredibly helpful with any questions we had and was generous enough to let us stay past our check out time when our car broke down!! The area had plenty to do, would highly recommend going to Clovelly as well as watching the sunset from the cliffs backing onto the house. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, we hope to return in the future"

Sheldon Barn at High Park, Indoor Pool, Pets

10/10 Excellent

"Would highly recommend staying at high barns. Had a great week in north Devon. The barn is great to get to nearby coast/ beach and to venture further out. Great to be near a very large Asda! Communication was great throughout, knew where everything was and easy to contact if needed. Great to have air conditioning, private gas bbq along with lovely rooms and comfortable beds. Loved the use of the swimmming pool, and having allotted times. Very family and dog friendly! We would love to stay again in the future!"

The Waterfront Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We found the stay very enjoyable. The hotel was in an excellent location for the local amenities and the beach. Parking was never a problem. There were plenty of places to eat and drink, both inside and al fresco. We particularly enjoyed the Thatchers cider. Everywhere was very clean and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We would be very happy to recommend your hotel to anyone we know going to Westward Ho, and would like to return one day."
