Short stay
Found the stairs and steps challenging especially with luggage. Not aware of this on booking. Parental guidance was on Tv so any drama we wanted to watch was not possible. Must have been previous guests. The main street area of the town is very run down.

Great property in the heart of Ilfracombe
Great property to be in the centre of Ilfracombe. Beautiful view of the coastline. We stayed as a family for half term and used the apartment as a base for days out. Perfect location for Ilfracombe itself, which is lovely, a sweet little town and harbour. We were close to lots of beautiful sandy beaches too, including Putsbotough and Woolcombe bay, which were perfect for our children. The apartment had everything we needed.

Apartment with stunning view of Capstone hill
Smashing apartment in an uphill location giving excellent views over Ilfracombe. You need to be reasonably fit if you plan to walk to town. 3 flights of stairs ( last set very steep like a castle turret ! So pack light ). Very comfortable beds. Has everything you need to have a great holiday. Books,games etc. Highly recommend.

Much needed family time
The apartment was clean and tidy and well equipped, it was everything we needed for family time, the kids were happy with the WiFi tvs in each room so they could easily please themselves. I will say walk up to the apartment is quite steep, followed by the apartment being on the top floor it could be a problem for some but the view makes it worthwhile.

Summer break
Excellent instructions to find the property, wonderful views of the harbour and used it as a base to explore the surrounding area, including boat trip to Lundy Island from the harbour. Front door can be a little tricky to open and second flight of stairs to apartment quite steep.

Excellent little apartment!
Stayed for a 4 night break with my 14 year old son and we had a fab time, the apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We even did a jigsaw together when the weather was particularly bad! Thank you to the housekeeper who kept in touch regarding key location and hats off to her the place was immaculate! 5 stars

Lovely apartment with great views. My family loved it and Ilfracombe
We really loved our stay at Clarion apartment. It has everything you need in a holiday apartment and great views too. We loved walking around town and visiting the harbour, beaches and even the arcade for some 2p slot action. We’d love to visit again one day as we really loved the town and the apartment. The walk up gets your heart going but the views are worth it.

Felt at home immediately
Despite the steep steps up to the property once inside you immediately feel at home. Everything is clean and tidy and you have all you need for a relaxing break. The views from the apartment are excellent and the off road parking is all you need. Overall a very nice place to have a break.

Great location with lovely views to sea and harbour
Just back from a weeks family holiday which we all really enjoyed. This top floor appartment has all you need for a relaxing break, great location, comfortable accommodation TVs / DVD & Wi-Fi. The Kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms have plenty of storage and beds are comfy. Bathroom has overhead shower and is very clean and bright. Having a parking spot is a big positive as parking is limited. Out and about you have a choice of local beaches lots of places to eat as a family or a couple. There are plenty of boat trips and good walks plus aquarium museum and cinema. Surfing is available at Woolercombe with lessons for all ages . There are many attractions in the locality to suit all tastes and age groups so regardless of the weather you will have a great holiday.

Clairian apartment
Nicely presented little apartment with great view of the sea and surrounding Ilfracombe area. Would be quite cosy for a family of four but fine for two adults and a baby. Access is via steep steps but not a problem if you're reasonably fit. The apartment was well furnished and clean. The owners kindly provided a travel cot and high chair which helped us out a lot. The mattress on the double bed was a little soft and springy but still comfortable. The bathroom ceiling is quite low and I hit my head several times a day getting in and out of the shower (although I am quite clumsy at the best of times!) The hot water in the shower fluctuated a bit due to the combi boiler. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and there is lots to do in and around Ilfracombe.

Our stay at the clarion Appartment.
One more handrail at the top of the narrow stairs would be helpful, but the rest of the stay was enjoyable and the view from the windows were fabulous. The apartment was well equipped and clean and the beds were comfortable.

Lovely little apartment
The apartment itself was perfect. A good size and everything had been thought of. It comfortably housed four adults for our time in Ilfracombe. The stairs down to the front door are pretty steep and having the top (third) floor apartment was a little challenging, especially with luggage! The final flight of stairs are very tight and steep but thankfully with busy days you only really need to climb up at the end of each day. The apartment and communal areas were very clean and well kept too.

Lovely seaside stay!
Apartment was lovely, great location overlooking the sea. Had all the amenities you need & the double bed was so comfy (didn't try the 2nd room). Lots of nice restaurants less then a 10 minute walk away. Tunnels beaches were cool, and we took a short drive to the lovely Woolacombe beach (15mins) which is rated the best in the U.K. Had a really relaxing few days here in this quiet location. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect holiday home with all the amenities you could wish for. Location was great, minute walk to the town that has everything from a cinema to a weatherspoons. All in all a wonderful time had by all and made easy by having the guides and brochures to hand in the apartment.

Gelungener Urlaub
Wunderschöne Wohnung mit traumhaftem Blick über die Stadt aufs Meer. Tolle Lage mit gutem Zuschnitt der Wohnung. Eine Luxus-Wohnung ist es aber nicht, sondern eine einfache Ferienwohnung mit einfacher Möblierung und gut ausgestatteter Küche; der Kühlschrank ist allerdings definitiv zu klein. Wegen des engen Treppenhauses empfehlen sich mehrere kleine Gepäckstücke statt großer, schwerer Koffer. Unterm Strich haben wir uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt!

Urlaub in Ilfracombe
Ein sehr schöner Urlaubsort und eine die dazu passende Wohnung mit eigenem Parkplatz. Wohnung war für uns ausreichend und gepflegt. Der Parkplatz für einen VW T6 etwas knapp bemessen. Man sollte die Beschreibung dahingehend erweitern, das: Zufahrt mit großen Fahrzeugen recht schwierig sein kann (Straße nur von einer Seite befahrbar). Der Zugang zur Wohnung für körperlich eingeschränkte Personen schwierig ist, da man erst einige Stufen runter muss und im Haus 2 1/2 Etagen hoch, mit einer engen Treppe am Ende (Kein Aufzug). Weg zum Ort recht steil nach unten (Muss man auch wieder zurück!). ÖPV eher gering.

Very nice and spacious apartment with perfect views at the town and the sea , where you can feel at home. It takes 5 minutes to town (walking distance). The apartment is located on a hill and is under the roof (stairs) so it might not be appropriate für older and/or unfit people.

Very nice apartment, we felt very comfortable!
We, two adults and two girls (16, 18) from Germany, spent one week of our summer-holidys in this apartment in Ilfracombe, which is situated on the highest floor of the house. We felt very comfortable, the rooms are furnished very nice and concerned to the size of the rooms very clever. Contacting the owners in advance was really easy. Three days we hiked along the coastline, one day we spent on the beach in Woolacombe. We can really recommend the apartment!!!
