An absolute delight!
To be fair, I didn't really want to leave a review and the owner John is such a great bloke and the house is fabulous. Location incredible with no passing traffic yet so close to the beach. House was really relaxing and just a great space to chill with up to date equipment so easy to stay in if theres a rainy day. Well worth booking - you will not regret it.

Everything we needed
Lovely spot on the hill. Nothing too fancy and had everything we needed. We had five adults and two kids, and plenty of room. The owner John is a local and is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Cracking views, easy walk to the beach, town, coast path, Woolacombe or Morthoe. The access road is narrow and could make some people nervous (e.g. US drivers), but it's Devon, so it's fine. We all enjoyed our stay.

Great location with superb views
We had a 10-day break in Mortehoe primarily to cycle, mountain bike and hike. Wish I had booked a month to enjoy the surrounding areas more. So many hike routes and mountain bike trails.

Great Holiday Home
John was always on hand to help or just chat. His home was more than enough for our family, we were four, myself and husband with an adult and teenage daughter. The room were all large and clean with enough room for at least four more of us. The location was perfect with breathtaking views, especially in the mornings, sitting on the patio watching the sea and also the green hills behind. We would stay here again and would recommend to all our friend and family. Thank you again John for welcoming us and making our stay perfect. Karen
