Lovely spacious property
A great place to stay with lots of space. We were a group of 3 generations and we fitted in perfectly. Easy walk into Ilfracombe, which had plenty to see and do. Lovely walks and pubs. We could easily park on the road, even during half term holidays. Nice drive to many places. A lovely place to stay.

Perfect Holiday House
Our party of four adults, two seniors and three children were looking forward to our holiday, and we were not disappointed! The house was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay with plenty of parking close to the house. Ilfracombe is a lovely area, with Tunnels Beach being a must to visit for a small fee! Plenty of great places to eat, Hip and Pistol do great food at a very reasonable price. Woolacombe is a lovely sandy beach, great for beach games, surfing or just relaxing!. Also, The Big Sheep is worth a visit if you have youngsters or are young at heart! We would love to return again one day.

Lovely house and owners
The house is really lovely and well kitted out. The kitchen and living area is modern and spatious and the living room was bright and comfortable. A great property. The owner was extremely helpful and when we left a gift in the house she posted it back for us and wouldn’t even let me pay! I would strongly recommend this property.

Great place to stay Ilfracombe is beautiful.
Check in easy .... Check out easy.....communication great...house just as described. Hilly area but manageable. Only downfall is parking is a bit hit and miss. If you go out parking could be a short walk from house upon return, with little ones in the wet this can be a little awkward. Although it didn't spoil our stay at this beautiful property.

Beautiful spacious home. Perfect for a family holiday
We had a wonderful holiday, helped by fabulous weather 😎 Primrose House is really lovely. Lots of space for our group of 2 adults and 4 teenagers. We loved the big bathrooms and roll top baths. The kitchen is well equipped with a great range oven and barbecue in the back yard. Ilfracombe harbour is about 15 mins walk away and we saw some gorgeous sunsets above the tunnels beach. Plenty of fantastic beaches a short drive away. Caroline was a great host and all arrangements worked smoothly. There was a minor issue with the oven but we had clear communication and Caroline had the issue sorted quickly. We were delighted with our stay and would love come again 😀

Superb property and location.
Very impressed with this property. The house is very spacious with lovely views of the Torrs. Split over three floors it means everyone gets their own space. It is very well equipped, Caroline has thought of every possible need. We were able to park all 3 cars outside the property throughout our stay so saved a fortune not having to park on car parks. The garden is a very pretty sun trap and just the right size for our dog. The property is perfect for walking into Ilfracombe (bit of a hill but need this to help burn off all the chips and pasties.) Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This is a lovely property in an idyllic location.We all enjoyed the week and The house was big enough and comfortable .One minor criticism would be the living room floor under the couches and chairs needed swept and the leather settee had an unpleasant odour coming off it

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Oliver

Host profile image
I'm a retired mum with two grown up sons, I mostly live in London [in between travelling]. I love hosting, creating a 'home from home' for my guests.

Why they chose this property

My family and I have taken holidays in Devon and Cornwall for many years.
We love the great beaches, scenery, surfing and friendly people, so North Devon was the perfect choice for our dream seaside home.

The towns amenities and facilities are all within a short walking distance (5 -15 minutes) of Primrose House. This includes several supermarkets, theatre, cinema, indoor swimming pool, a range of pubs and award winning restaurants .

There are a wide selection of tea shops and enjoying freshly cooked fish and chips whilst watching the boats at the harbour is a must.

There are numerous fantastic beaches within a 10 minute drive of Primrose House, including the award winning Woolacombe Beach

If you are planning to stay in Ilfracombe, I recommend booking restaurants before your stay, as restaurants do get busy especially during the busier times of the year.

What makes this property unique

Primrose House has lots of original features, including marble fireplaces and tiled floors.

Lovely views over National Trust Torrs.

Perfect location to park your car and just a short walk into town.

Repeat visitors will also benefit from a discounted rate during the off peak season, please contact me for more details.
