The house was just right for two families to spend the weekend in Ilfracombe. It was well equipped and walkable to the harbour, beaches and restaurants. Will definitely be back.
We had a fantastic stay at Primrose House. The house is beautiful & well situated for the shops & the beach. The house had everything you could possibly need & more & is well catered for the age range young to old. Would stay again & would highly recommend.
We had an amazing time staying at the Primrose House, everything was great, prefect for a week away of drinking. However the dryer didn’t dry anything but was amazing and loved the house!!
Lovely views over the Torrs, close to town centre, ideally situated for visiting other local towns in the area. Lovely spacious accommodation and suited the party of 7 adults. Happy to recommend.
A beautiful home fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Helpful and attentive host. Ilfracombe its self is beautiful and all within walking distance. A very much enjoyed stay. Ages ranged from 76 down to 15 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay and house facilities.
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.

The property was beautiful, well equipped and large enough to accommodate two families. Children’s books and toys, DVD’s, books available if you wanted them. Nice touch, milk and biscuits left on arrival. Communication with Caroline the host was very helpful. Lovely house and very nice stay.
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.
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.
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.
Had a great time with family, thank you for letting us use your house

The owner was lovely and very accommodating. Our only gripes were smelly, holey towels, gas oven that took 60 mins to heat up and no gas bbq as stated.
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 😀
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.
