Spacious property with a ballroom and phenomenal sea and harbour views

We all had such a lovely break away. The house was a perfect space for all of us to come together and celebrate yet it was big enough to escape away too.The kids loved the football table and the ball we had on Christmas evening, in our very own ball room!Us adults adored the breakfast bar and the size of the kitchen. We cooked and ate like kings and queens!It was great to be so near the harbour and good dog walks for our two ancient fury friends.The hosts were really helpful too. We hope you received our thank you card.We're really considering coming this way again and staying as everyone loved it.Many thanksUs adults

Lovely big house in a prime location with stunning views and a short hilly walk to the harbour.Bedrooms and bathrooms spacious with nice linen. Kitchen well equipped.Lounge large with loads of books and games for the kids. In need of some TLC in places, especially the terraces. Hosts and property manager very helpful and responsive.We had a great time.

Great location with excellent views.Great communication with owners.Large spacious living room and a well equipped kitchen.

Big Sea House is a great place to stay, the pictures do not do the property justice - it far exceeded our expectations, the house is perfect for large groups. There was 15 of us staying and it did not at all feel as though we were on top of

Booking this property was easy, the property manager was on hand straight away when we had a problem with finding the place. This house sorted our needs. Lovely big kitchen and lounge area where we could enjoy all the company from a 6 to 72year old! The views are fantastic and position just great! The house itself could be wonderful. It definately needs some TLC in lots of places - thread bare carpets, football table - the players had no heads, the floor in the ballroom is lifting, grand piano with several keys not working, cracks in the sinks in the kitchen. What let it down for us was the cleanliness. Mainly thick spider webs at the windows and sky lights that would not have happened overnight, the oven! and dog hairs that were there before we got there. Other places could have done with a good clean too! We found out that the place is for sale so can understand that you wouldnt want to spend lots on it, but while letting it out just keep it clean.

Family party of 3 generations. 13 people.We loved all the space and big rooms. Bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were clean and well equipped. Some of the house needs updating and painting.

Great location near beaches & town.

Spacious and well equipped.Needs some tlc in places . Fabulous views.kids had a wonderful time.The outdoor area needs some serious attention.The BBQ in particular inpar

Amazing location and views, huge house with plenty of room for a family get together. Nice, well equipped kitchen. I would only say that for the price charged the property could do with a refresh; the furniture and decoration was quite worn, carpet threadbare in places, the beds were rather small and hard, one bedroom door would not shut, one oven not working. Table footy so old it had pegs sellotaped on for missing players. We were fortunate to have a sunny week but the upstairs bedrooms got hot and were uncomfortable at night - would expect aircon at this price. Instructions for parking and recycling were confusing. Overall a reasonably pleasant stay but not perfect.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Big Sea House. The location & views were excellent, the property had the space & facilities that we needed and so we were able to enjoy our week in Ilfracombe. The property decor could be updated & there are a few things that need fixing but these did not detract from our enjoyable experience.

This was an amazing stay, the property was beautiful. The views were amazing and the beds were so comfy. There was 16 of us in total and there was more than enough room for all of us. The children loved running around the rooms and we all enjoyed playing the games that were there when the weather wasnt good. We will be back next year as i dont think we could find anywhere better.

Some are only very slight issues, but add up to quite a few. Long walk to car park, made worse in the rain. Appreciate piano is old, but some of family looked forward to providing musical entertainment. Very disappointed as too many non functioning keys to play anything. Ballroom smelled musty and dank. Football table had many broken pieces. Outside wicker seating tacky and with holes. Cushions in need of a very good clean. Plants growing over eating area. Some missing sink plugs. Hard to wash up in kitchen sinks as plugs don't hold water. Very high pressure in some cold taps. Some, especially children soaked as water quickly splashed out of sinks. Empty soap/body wash containers. Nowhere to dry clothes either inside or out - some form of drying airer needed. Rubbish/recycling not very clear. No instructions in kitchen as mentioned. Requested to put rubbish in large blue gull proof bags in courtyard. These bags were wet & filthy. Would be better to simply leave full bin bags in utility room. On a positive note kitchen and lounge area very well appointed. Sky sports channel very much appreciated.
