Perfect family holiday accommodation

Skylark was ideal for our family holiday in Woolacoombe, quiet location, with a 5 minute drive to the beach. Loved the open plan ground floor, with garden view. Nice touch with the chocolates on arrival. Only one complaint though - There were dog hairs all over the outside furniture cushions ! But would definitely stop here again when next in the area.

Hi David, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and visit to Woolacombe. Thank you for making us aware that there was dog hair on the outside furniture, we will be looking into this. Take care and we hope to welcome you back again in the future - The Ocean Cottages Team
Lovely House, but some improvements could make it better!

Lovely house, furniture seemed a little tired and we felt the hot tub charge of £200 for a few nights was just too much, so we didn't use it. Garden was lovely and the house had all the equipment you need. Bathrooms were nice too. A bit disappointed the pub at the end of the road was no longer open, as having a pub at the end of the road was one of the reasons we booked it! We had some lovely walks on the gorgeous beaches nearby and the location was so quiet and peaceful.

Management comment
Hi Justine, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear that the closure of the pub had a huge impact on your stay. The Fortescue Arms restaurant was being refurbished and the works were supposed to be completed by the end of January. Unfortunately, the works ran over, as building projects often do, and the latest update is that they opened in time for Mother's Day, which we appreciate was after your stay. We have passed on your comments regarding the furniture to the owner. We understand your decision not to have the hot tub for your stay which is why it is an optional 'extra' to your booking. The hot tub is charged at £200, even for short breaks, as to fill, clean and heat it from cold, does incur the same costs no matter the length of the stay. We are pleased to hear that you explored the area and that you managed to get some peace and quiet during your stay and we hope to welcome you to Ocean Cottages again in the future. Kindest, The Ocean Cottages Team

Lovely

We had a lovely holiday at skylark. The house was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. Loved the hot tub and the garden too especially as we took our dog along. I can't fault ocean cottages they were very informative and any questions I had they answered straight away . We would definitely go again and I would definitely use ocean cottages again.

Cleanliness was amazing!

Cleanliness was amazing every bathroom and bedroom were spotless on arrival. Again in strange times was nice to see it was a priority. Plenty of space inside big kitchen with everything needed in there. Hot tub was lovely, the only thing I would say is that if you've got pets take lots of extra towels as the garden was abit of a mud bath due to the rain. But we pet owners expect that anyway. Overall lovely stay some lovely Sunsets if you catch them just over looking the sea. Spacious and modern. And a great local pub just at the bottom of the lane where you can take the dogs in and they like to feed them steak. Lovely touch.

Incredible Week

Incredible week of hot sunshine, clear blue skies and stunning sunsets.  What a week to have chosen to come back to my childhood summers of yesteryear to revisit special places.  The House is very well equipped, light and airy, hot tub delicious especially with a long G&T in hand after a day out.

Saunton Sands - Miles of sand and clear waters - dog friendly - brethtakingly beautiful.

Ilfracombe - Fish and Chips on the harbour quay

Woolacombe - Great walks - Mortehoe

Tarr Steps - Worth a visit for the woodland walk along the river, watch out for the Horseflies!!

Once again, a lovely visit to Skylark!

We've had fabulous beach days at Barricane Beach - seen the sights on the Princess Cruise in Ilfracome, visited the Ilfracombe Aquarium and had a great day at Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park. Skylark and Tarka Lane is the perfect place to set up home for a lovely week in North Devon. We have thoroughly enjoyed it again! More memories made.

The area is one of my favourites anywhere with wonderful sandy beaches
We had a great stay in Skylark, having stayed in one of the other properties last year. We plan to come back for a third visit next year! The house is ideal, well stocked and really had everything we could need (and our dogs are also welcome!) The area is one of my favourites anywhere with wonderful sandy beaches. Added to that we had perfect weather! We couldn't have asked for more!

the garden and hot tub was divine and used every night
Booked skylark for my parents 50th and 60th birthdays, my brother my husband and my dog all came along too for a week away! The house is perfect for a seaside getaway and the garden and hot tub was divine and used every night come all weather! The white blinds in the bedrooms meant it was really bright by 5am do my husband and i were awake very early each morning. However would still stay again it was a beautiful week with gorgeous sea views, and the chocolate cake on arrival was a nice touch! Thank you for an amazing week we can't wait to book again next year! :)

Would definitely recommend Ocean Cottages
Had a perfect week! The house is lovely has absolutely everything we've needed. Love the kitchen area, it's been a pleasure to cook in. Weather has been mixed but still managed to enjoy the hot tub most nights. Would definitely recommend Ocean Cottages. Thank you! :) Just want to add to this! I have had an amazing time. When my mum and dad told me we were going home I was so sad, it has been the best holiday ever! Really love it, good things to say about Ocean Cottages, thank you so much, you have put a lot of work in this house. Thank you. Oh and Bobby and Jess liked it too!
