BRILLIANT
Have been holidaying with Ocean-Cottages for several years now
and they are just brilliant. Communication is 5 star, they are
quick to respond to queries and always communicate holiday
information/directions etc within plenty of time. They provide a
real sense of enjoyment for your holiday as they show that they
care that you have the best time you can. We are always relaxed
knowing we are in good hands and will be well looked after. Holiday
homes are clean and well presented with super locations, including
sea views and right on the beach!

Fantastic view but...
Fantastic view but having stayed in many properties in
Woolacombe over the past 15 years feel that this one is in need of
some general maintenance and care.

Lovely flat, great location, but tired.
The flat is in a great position, with a lovely view of the beach
and a huge terrace. However the flat decor and facilities can be
described as basic and tired. The decor needs to reflect the rental
price. The washing machine lock is broken, the toilet on the
mezzanine was broken and took 4 days to mend, the room with bunks
smells of mould, blinds are mouldy, light bulbs are out, there are
holes in walls, carpets are stained, only 5 mugs (1is cracked).
Also a couple of slabs on the terrace are loose. Having said this
we did have a good stay and Ocean Cottages were very efficient.

Helpful and efficient.
We had a lovely stay in Woolacombe. The team at Ocean Cottages,
were very efficient, letting us know all the details in a timely
manner. The number to use in case of problems was great. Always a
prompt reply and a quick resolution to any issues. The team really
helped to ensure our holiday was good. Thank you.

Brilliant location
Fantastic position, great little town. We had a brilliant time
in Woolacombe, all helped by the weather. The apartment was in a
great position, close to beach and amenities. A huge terrace to sit
outside relax and enjoy the views.

Zeer goed.
Fantastische ligging, zeer ruim appartement. Jammer dat er maar
1 parkeerplaats voorzien is per appartement.

Great property with amazing views over Woolacombe beach
The layout of this property is quite quirky but it works well
and has amazing views over Woolacombe bay. One thing to bear in
mind is that because this is a ground floor apartment a lot of
noise can be heard from the properties above and around it. However
we enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect apartment for our family holiday with amazing views..
Amazing views, spacious very comfortable apartment for a family
holiday with our dog... Great location , close to beach , shops and
stunning coastal walks. Would certainly visit again. Be aware there
is space for one car only at the apartment and closest long stay
carpark in Morthoe up the road, which worked out fine.

Lovely location and light airy apartment
Fabulous location. Light and airy and perfect for the beach.
Very comfortable and well equipped. The terrace is a little tired
and needs weeding and a good tidy up. Great to have parking, which
is at a premium in Woolacombe.

Spectacular and beautiful
Not much can be said except for how spectacular and beautiful
the apartment was. The views from the living were just simply
breathtaking. Location couldn't be beaten with only a minutes walk
to the beach and local amenities. Pub across the road with a few
others not that much further. Would definitely recommend and visit
again.

Excellent apartment.
We have stayed a couple of times in this apartment and we love
it. Clean spacious apartment, excellent location close to beach and
all amenities. We had a couple of issues that were dealt with very
efficiently by the Ocean Cottages office and the owner. Very sad to
leave and hope we can come back again soon.

Awesome view and wonderful location
It really is the best possible location for this price. The flat
has a vast terrace which we didn't get to use as the wind was
aweful but to sit inside and look out of the huge window was super.
Good surf and good times, we loved it and will be back.

Great apartment with stunning views.
We stayed for 4 nights during October half term 5 adults and a
dog the apartment is large and spacious it was clean light and airy
the kitchen was fully equipped the large windows with sliding patio
doors onto the patio area and beyond that overlooking the beach/sea
was great it is in the centre of woolacombe so good for shops and
places to eat out. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time in woolacombe
and the apartment and would stay there again.

Well placed and quirky apartment
The apartment is well located and spacious inside, if a little
unusual in layout. Suited our 3 generations well and was fully
equipped. The outside terrace was also large, if basically
furnished, providing space for the adults to enjoy the sunset while
the little ones had fun playing.

Premium price & location let down by budget furnishings
My family stayed at Surf View. The location is excellent and the
apartment has lots of space, however the furnishings are cheap
budget, tired and skirtings need replacing. Budget cutlery, pots
and pan etc are ok but only if there are replaced regularly. The
apartment sleeps 8 but it only has 6 dining plates, 3 small
tumblers. There isn't a matching set of 8 of anything. The showers
are powerful which was nice, but the shower cubicles/bathroom are a
little grubby and dated. At first glance the apartment looked
clean, but on closer inspection the kitchen bin and shower room
bins were dirty, greasy under kitchen cupboard light switches,
utility room sink dirty and the mop has seen better days. It has
the potential to be a luxury apartment (to match the price) with
some investment. One thing to note for any potential holiday makers
is to factor in the cost of additional parking if you have more
than 1 car. The car park by the beach does not allow overnight
parking but the car park near the adventure golf does. We'd go back
to Woolacombe but not Surf View apartment unless it had a major
refurbishment.

Great location, big spacious property
The big selling point of this apartment is the location, you can
be on the beach within minutes, which is particularly useful if the
weather is changeable. The apartment is furnished with everything
you need, some of the furnishings are a bit tired but it is very
clean. The patio is a great place to sit with a glass of wine and
watch the world go by. We come to Woolacombe every year and this is
the best place we have stayed due to the fab location.

Super spacious apartment with great views
After a long cramped journey it was lovely to find the apartment was so attractive and spacious. A wonderful, large lounge, a great kitchen and 3 beautifully furnished bedrooms. The utility room was like a second kitchen and the large hallways gave a great sense of space. The terrace wraps around the apartment and has super views over the beach.

We slept in the gallied bedroom and woke to the sight of the surf.....
Surf view is large and spacious, and the views are amazing. We slept in the gallied bedroom and woke to the sight of the surf..... You never get bored of it!
With 3 bathrooms there is plenty of privacy and the utility room with separate sink and washer/dryer was very useful. The walk across the road and to the beach took about 2 minutes (and that's with 3 young children in tow).
The road it is on is the main road down the hill into Woolacombe and to the beach so it was fairly busy but wasn't a problem for us. The balcony is HUGE, and large enough for our kids to get their scooters out and whizz around a bit.
We would def consider booking again, and found the staff at Ocean Cottages always lovely and v friendly.

The views across the beach are amazing.
We stayed at this property a couple of years ago and recently re-visited for the weekend. The property was as we remembered it- excellent if you have a group of friends and want to have enough space for everyone.
Overall this is a really great property, though I would mention that there is one less sofa in the property than is shown in the pictures on the ocean properties website. The property would benefit from free wifi as most of us had data on our contracts but the 3G coverage was poor. There is the option of BT openreach wifi but I think you have to pay for this. We brought speakers over to play music, which I would advise as we couldn't see any speakers, although I thought there were some last time we visited!
The tasty cake and milk already in the flat on our arrival was a lovely, much appreciated touch. Overall Surf view is a fab place to stay, I only mentioned the minor points as that was all we could find wrong with it! The views across the beach are amazing.

Overall we had a lovely stay at the Surf View apartment
Overall we had a lovely stay at the Surf View apartment. The kitchen was spacious as were the living areas. It was great having the stereo so we could plug in mp3 players, and a piano where various members of the group attempted to remember how to play! It was a slight surprise that although the accommodation is for up to 10 people there was not enough space on the sofas nor outside on the patio seating for us all to sit down together. The dining table did have enough room for 10. The double room and master suite were very nice and spacious, one friend mentioned that he couldn't get the room dark enough for his liking at night so if you don't sleep well maybe take an eye mask! The bunk room was roomy enough, however got very hot. Surprisingly the heating came on full blast early in the morning despite the fact we had not turned it on, making it rather uncomfortable for those sleeping by the radiators. One of the bathrooms smelt a bit strange but I think that is probably inevitable in a bathroom which doesn't have a window.
The beach view was magnificent and close proximity to the beach and shops/facilities of Woolacombe was great for our group. We had several cars but as it was after 1st October there was plenty of parking in the village.
Overall we had a wonderful stay, just a couple of small points which could have made it perfect!

All in all would highly recommend this apartment for a stay
A brilliant apartment, very well equipped and spacious, the photographs on website do not do the spaciousness of the place justice.
Brilliant views form the outside area, lots of places to hang wetsuits and boards.
Has laundry facilities and dishwasher which had not realised until arriving.
The bedrooms are great and the bunk room with it pull out beds had more space than we thought, we had all adults sleeping in there with no problems. I would advise trying to get hold of the key for the window in the bunk room however as it got a bit stuffy and that was in April whilst still quite cool.
Allocated parking was only for one car and the car park down the road does not allow vehicles overnight, but oin a weekend there were plenty of unrestricted spaces dotted about town. Try to park so as not to annoy the locals though!
The housekeeper was very easy to get hold of and happily had the towels (that we accident;ly took home with us) sent back to her enabling us to get our deposit back in full!
All in all would highly recommend this apartment for a stay, we had 10 adults which was fine, all fitted at the table for meals and the kitchen has plenty of large pans for cooking for 10.
And as for Woolacombe itself, it is great, everything you could want, great beach and walks.
Thanks you Surf View my birthday was definitely a memorable one!
