    We enjoyed our week at Shellborough. The weather was wonderful, sunny every day. The property was as we remembered it from the last time we visited. One or two improvements had been made. Overall a comfortable, spacious property. Only two of us but plenty of room for two. The views from the balcony are what makes this a place to revisit. They did not disappoint, wave watching and lovely sunsets. One thing to be aware of are the stairs. Obviously, a penthouse has quite a few. These are not a problem for an able bodied person but need to be considered if you are elderly or disabled.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shellsborough Penthouse. The location is excellent with sea views from both bedrooms and a great view from the balcony. The penthouse is very spacious and comfortable with all the essentials.

    We have stayed here many times now and it never disappoints. The views from every window are outstanding. The apartment itself is clean, well furnished and quiet. It has its own front door and off street parking. I highly recommend it for a relaxing time in a wonderful place.

    What a fantastic find this was! Had a really nice week staying in Shellsborough Penthouse. The accommodation had everything we needed, lovely lounge / dinning area with great views through the patio doors that led out onto a small but very usable balcony providing perfect views to watch the sun setting. Two large bedrooms, the master double was huge with its en-suite bathroom and stunning views through the large Velux window. The twin room had its own shower, toilet and wash basin and again a large Velux window with fabulous views. The kitchen is small but provides everything you need, even fitting in a small dishwasher! The washing machine ( housed in a large cupboard of the entrance hall ) was a great bonus as was the private off road parking. House keeping was great, very clean on arrival. As for the location I don't think it could be any better. 2 minute stroll to the sea, 5 minute walk to the centre of town, 5 minute walk to a fabulous little beach called Barricane Beach, a fantastic sheltered cove with a great little beach cafe. All in all a perfect base for a wonderful break.

    We booked for a week and stayed for two! Fabulous views and close enough to walk everywhere. Comfortable and clean. We will be back.

    We had a fabulous week. We loved the quirky layout of the apartment. The sun was shining and we especially enjoyed watching the sun go down from the balcony. Our host, Jean, was lovely and Maddy from Holiday Home Hunters was incredibly helpful and kind. We were delighted to meet two members of the Mortehoe Coastguard Team - one retired and one still working. Thank you for a lovely week - we will definitely be booking again.

    Located close to shops, beaches and National Trust walks, a super little apartment with all that you need for a short break. With a superb lounge view overlooking the sea, and a small outside terrace, nothing better than sitting reading as the tide ebbs and flows and the sun sets on the horizon. Always a pleasure to revisit.

    Excellent position. Kitchen was poorly equipped with only 3 teaspoons, no oven gloves, not enough glasses, no scissors. TV control didn’t work and very noticeable line on the T V screen. No light above the mirror in the twin room. Door to the laundry cupboard on the landing kept opening with a bang. Would like to stay again but would hope that these things would be fixed.

    Lovely, warm penthouse apartment with terrific views out of all windows. Just perfect for a short break whether to hop across the road and onto the beach for a walk or to pop into the village to the pub (The Jube) or the shops or stride up the hill to Mortehoe. Comfy and functional, with excellent facilities. Would suit a couple or small family, as two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The recliner chair with a view out to Lundy or the waves crashing against the rocks….a perfect place to unwind.
