Lovely cabin with a sea view.

A lovely location between ilfracombe and Combe Martin and next to Watermouth Castle. Cabin was spacious and clean with a nice kitchen and dining area with a place to eat outside. Kids loved the heated pool. Staff were very helpful. We would definitely stay again

Lovely winter break, accommodation very nice, lots of great coastal walks with dog. Only criticism would be not enough heat but it was very cold time of year may be a little electric fire

Good.

The bed was very good. The place was very clean. I would have liked a dry rack for the dishes, though. And we couldn't open the window in the kitchen. But otherwise everything was fine and we had a very nice weekend.

Watermouth lodge

Beautiful location, a shame theovergrown bushes blocked what woukd of been a beautiful sea view. We were late to arrive but we were dealt with quickly, our lodge was clean and comfortable. The outdoor pool was empty and the play area could do with an update. We didn't use the restaurant but we're told no food was being served at 8:30pm which was disappointing. The shop only had a handful of over priced items and the lady behind the bar was a little rude. We left at 8:30 am and no one was around to hand the keys back to. The location was great, the lodge was nice but I think for the service it was overpriced.

Exploring North Devon

This place was very good value for money. Lovely sea views from the club house area. We visited many places around the north Devon coast and this was an excellent base. You can only get WiFi at the clubhouse which meant we had to have a drink every night in the warmth of a log burner - first world problems!! 😉

Ilfracombe Tunnels wedding stop over

We booked this lodge for a family wedding. Stay was excellent, very roomy for a standard lodge, party of 4 adults. Wonderful views of harbour and castle. Indoor pool was small, but heated. Only downside was late check in 5pm and early check out 10am. But overall would recommend these lodges for cleanliness and visiting Devon coastline.
