We had a very nice time at Sea Foam Cottage. The location overlooking the harbour is fantastic. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, and we had a lovely time. Parking was 5 minutes walk away which was a bit of a faff, and would be a hassle for anyone with lots of kit to unload each day or with very young children.

This is a fantastic cottage for a family to stay in and there's plenty of room to spread out and relax (there were seven of us). The location could not be bettered, with the outdoor area right up against the harbour at Ilfracombe.

An excellent location, the pub next door delivered meals to our door and there are loads of varied restaurants and take aways within yards of the property, and with ample dinning area on the terace and the life in and around the harbour it would have been easy to sit on the terrace and spend the day watching the world go by. Great location.
