Searocks apartment in february
Arriving at apartment location we had no problem finding parking. We used the ropery car park that was only 2.50 a day at this time of year.Having climbed the beautiful staircase to the third floor. (Only an issue one day after a day of hiking hill and dales)We found the apartment was very clean and well equipped.We loved that we could sit and watch the waves crashing from the warmth of the sofa. Location was greatWe did have an issue with water temperature but after emailing host she called directly and instructed me which switch I needed to switch on and having done that had no more issues.The only other problem we encountered was the lack of markings on the cooker which made it difficult to determine temps. If not for these 2 minor glitches we would have given 5 stars across the board.A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

Great place
It was our 3rd stay here. It’s a great little place with everything you need though the oven lacks numbers on the dials which is a bit awkward. There are a lot of stairs and they are a bit uneven so be careful if not too steady on your feet. The communal areas could do with an upgrade but the flat itself is very nicely decorated with a great balcony and view.

Great stay, great location!
We booked this property as we were visiting for a wedding, we needed somewhere to stay mid week for 3 nights. We assumed this would be hard to find in Devon during the summer holidays and it would be extremely expensive, but we were so pleased with the affordable prices, location and allocation for mid week stays (Wednesday - Saturday). The accommodation was within an old building but that didn’t bother us. The property was quite small but we only stayed there in the evening as we were out during the day. Pre-booking taxis is a must if you have places to be / pickups but Loretta was helpful with all this information. We were welcomed with tea/coffee/milk/biscuits, which was really lovely as we arrived quite late. The Wetherspoons opposite was lovely! Had a great roof terrace! Would definitely come back! Thank you Loretta!

This apartment was perfect for my family of four. Right in the center of everything we could ask for. Shops, Restaurants, Cafes and Pubs on your doorstep and a lot of these places could be seen directly from the lovely balcony. Those 52 steps to the top floor are well worth it. I would highly recommend this apartment as many already have. Everything was as described with no issues whatsoever. Communication with the owners was prompt and all our questions were answered. This perfect apartment will stay on my list. We shall return for sure.

Excellent location and facilities
We stayed for a weekend break away with our 2 and a half year old grandson. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. When booking the apartment you need to bear in mind it is on the 3rd floor with no lift and there are alot of stairs to climb so you need to have a good level of fitness. One criticism is that we struggled to get hold of the local contact for the property via phone call or message to obtain key codes and Loretta had to come to our rescue and this did cause some unnecessary stress and maybe a rethink in this area would be useful. The property has stunning views and is an ideal location to explore the area. My grandson enjoyed our trip to the Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle and we would recommend this very reasonably priced attraction. We would definitely rebook when returning to North Devon.

Lovely accommodation in a perfect area
We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bathroom was spotless. The view from the apartment and balcony was lovely and it was great to have everything on our doorstep. The kid's beds hadn't been made up, but I texted the house keeper who was lovely and popped by within half an hour to sort them. It is up three large flights of stairs, which was pretty heavy going when we arrived/ left, but this was the second stop on our journey and we had packed a load we didn't need - we'd cut this down if we visit again. The trade off for this is the amazing view, so it was worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location!
We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Sea Rock, the flat was located perfectly for exploring the area. Communication from the host was brilliant and the flat had everything we needed. Despite the unsettled weather we made the most of the crazy golf, beautiful Rapparee Cove and walks around the harbour. Some fantastic places to eat were also very close with a fun evening at the local theatre too! We hope to return, thank you.

Comfy well equipped flat
The flat was well equipped and very comfortable for two. It is in a good location for walking around Ilfracombe. It has things like washing up liquid, salt, pepper, oil, cling film, etc which means you don’t have to bring these with you. There is also some tea, coffee, and sugar and the owner leaves some milk and biscuits so you can have a cuppa when you first arrive. That was very much appreciated! The Italian restaurant round the corner does very good food. Wi-Fi works well. All in all, the flat was ideal for us for a short stay.

Perfect location!
We had the best 9 nights here. The apartment is located in the most perfect location, on the top floor, looking out onto Ilfracombe with stunning sea views. Ideal for people watching! Arcades, fish and chips, ice creams, mini golf, coffee and restaurants more on less on your door step (the Italians literally is😂). The apartment was spacious and clean with a lovely new bathroom. Everything you could need and more was thought about. We really were so lucky to drop on this a few weeks before arrival! Thanks for a fab stay!

About the host

Hosted by Loretta Jewitt

Host profile image
We live in the Midlands in England. Our 4 grown up 'children' have flown the nest! We spend as much time as we can enjoying holiday breaks and love Ilfracombe. We bought Apartment 8 Sea Rock in September 2010. I came across the property in a 'random search' & fell in love with it's position overlooking the promenade and sea & the balcony to appreciate this and glorious sunsets. We have spent lots of time improving it for our guests to enjoy.
The apartment is near the harbour, bars, restaurants and town. The area offers beautiful scenery, surfing, golfing and walks & cycling on the Tarka trail to say the least. Reasonable prices & breaks of 3 days minimum are available.

Why they chose this property

Ilfracombe is a beautiful Victorian town in a picturesque setting and a perfect base from which to explore the fabulous surrounding coast and countryside.
A short walk up the hill is the fascinating and historical Fore Street with its 'hotchpotch' of cottages, inns, warehouses & workshops dating back to the middle ages. One of the original buildings is the George & Dragon tavern dating back to 1360!
Fore Street is still a centre for 'meeting & eating' with quality restaurants, bistros, bars, pubs & cafes. The town centre dates from the 19th century with traditional greengrocers, butchers & bakers, handed down through generations. A visit to the town is a treat not only for shopping but to enjoy the historical Victorian architecture.

What makes this property unique

Well equipped 2 double bedroom 3rd floor apartment with towels, linen & lots to make you comfortable for an enjoyable holiday or break.
On the sea front and close to the harbour, beaches & town.
Relax on the Balcony & enjoy the sea views, watching over the activity on Wetherspoons lovely garden roof terrace, 'Crazy Golfers' & passers by.
Explore the historical Victorian town & Promenade with Museum, shops, bars and restaurants.
