Watersmeet Hotel, hotel in Woolacombe

Watersmeet Hotel is a luxury four-star hotel with spectacular sea views in one of the finest coastal locations in the Westcountry.

The views from the hotel are extraordinary: waves crashing on the shores, the most beautiful sunsets, surfers, cliffs. The food was delicious and service was excellent. We got a massage and Carol, the masseuse, was outstanding. The rooms with an ocean view were breathtaking, we left the windows open to hear the waves at night. The room, bed, and bathroom were the nicest we have seen in England. The grounds were beautiful and invited us to sit and watch the ocean. Truly a luxury hotel.

The Smugglers Rest, hotel in Woolacombe

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated The Smugglers Rest offers accommodations with water sports facilities and free Wifi.

LOVED the breakfast, choice was abundant and meals arrived fairly quickly. Breakfast was amazing! The owners Will & Stacey were super friendly and accommodating where possible. Late check in wasn't an issue. Request of a Birthday candle in the dessert was also fulfilled. The overall feel of the building was modern with a nostalgic twist, warm and welcoming.

Royal Britannia Hotel, hotel in Woolacombe

Located in the picturesque Devonshire town of Illfracombe is the Royal Britannia Hotel.

The room was clean and spacious. Beds were super comfy. I slept like a log and we spent the majority of our time on our beds so the fact that we were comfortable was ideal. Breakfast was filling and freshly cooked. My son had the kippers which made a nice change for him as it's not something usually offered on a breakfast menu. I had the full english as I'm a creature of habit, both of which were just what we needed to set us up for the day and very reasonably priced too. We booked in advance which saved us a couple of pounds but would have happily paid the full price. Christmas day lunch in their sister restaurant was amazing and well worth the price. The staff in both sites were amazing, helpful, polite and courteous.

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat.

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat. It's a huge surfing place so there's always plenty of surfers about. The amenities in the town are great, plenty of places to eat and get an ice cream, and touristy shops too to get your postcards and gifts from!

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times.

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times. Our main reason is the fantastic beach and to go surfing. Everything is so clean and well maintained; the facilities are easily accessed, and everyone is very friendly. There are plenty of places to eat, whether it's lite bites, ice creams, waffles or a full meal, and we found a gluten-free diet was well catered for. Topping up on with groceries locally is easy and the bigger supermarkets in Ilfracombe are only a 10 minute drive away.

    Beautiful clean beach.

    Beautiful clean beach. Local amenities not too bad and remained clean even at the end of the day. Very few food or take away options in town so long waits for food - 40 mins or more wait for fish n chips from local take away or over an hour wait for pizza truck.

    Lovely if the weather is good as you cannot improve on a vast beach, which is safe to bathe, swim and surf - good life saving regime in place. Woolacombe is reliant upon take away food facilities which are good but a little expensive.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches. Great for boarders, surfers alike. Tide out and you have your rock pools. Dogs allowed in certain areas these being large areas of the beach so just dandy for all. Negative points are not many shops not many cafes restaurants compared to other by the seaside towns resorts and found to be quite expensive. Take a picnic is the answer if you want to save a pound or two. Great coastal walks, remember to pay for your parking otherwise you are likely to get a ticket.

    I just love Woolacombe. The apartment is only a few mins walk to the beach. The apartment is really modern and spotlessly clean and has a well equipped kitchen. We found the local pubs and restaurants were super busy which was made worse by the big pubs being closed due to staff shortages as a result of Covid. So having the ability to cook saved us no end of queuing. The swimming pool is excellent but availability is limited. All in all another wonderful stay at No 17 Woolacombe.

    Stunning location - beautiful vantage point overlooking Woolacombe Beach. The garden flat had a huge balcony perfect for sitting out and having a bbq and easy with a dog and toddler. Great facilities in the room, nice to have a sitting area and big bathroom. The hosts were very accommodating and lovely to chat too. We wished we could have stayed longer. the beach is perfect for kids and dogs, so clean and lots of places to eat and drink.

    Kitchen facilities were great and Kerry had left us all the basics which was so helpful. Instructions for things like hot water were clear, beds comfortable, garden lovely to look out on when raining and a treat to sit in for breakfast in the sun. We were a 6 minute drive from Woolacombe beach and could have walked down the back road if we could have faced the walk back up the hill.

    Lovely flat. Very spacious, bright and airy spotlessly clean and had every thing you could possibly need. Jenny was lovely and extremely helpful, even gave us updates on travel issues. There is a small balcony off of the lounge, which has a lovely sea view. Excellent location and only a couple of minutes walk to the the shops etc. would definitely recommend this property.

    Loved everything about this apartment. Location, décor, facilities - I really don't see that there's anything not to like. Lovely views of the sea, right in the centre but no noise to worry about. Easy to find the parking space and to collect the keys. Swimming pool was clean - maybe a tad chilly when you first get in but fine.

    We had a lovely stay at Fairways. The property is in a nice quiet location, just a short drive from the beautiful beach at Woolacombe. Fairways is a real home away from home. The owners had provided everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. will be returning and definitely recommend it to all.

    The distance to the beach and the balcony outside was beautiful to go out on to in the mornings. Very spacious and loved the fact there were board games and books which kept us entertained on rainy days. Very clean and all the essentials such as towels, hand soap etc supplied which was really helpful.

    Very good location, excellent views, comfortable beds, good sized main bathroom and excellent kitchen / living room space with brand new white goods / oven / hob etc. Bit of a mix up with door codes to access the property but our phone call was answered and problem resolved quickly.

    Absolutely stunning location! Perfect for the beach and local restaurants. The apartment was clean and decorated lovely with everything we needed for a week away. Parking was right outside the building and the storage space for our body boards and wetsuits was ideal.

    Flat was spotless on arrival - even left us some milk and tea bags ! Plenty of space, although the sofa / chairs aren't that comfy. Really close to the beach, it's a great base for exploring Devon.
