Daniel

The house was really lovely, especially the top-floor open plan lounge and kitchen which felt so airy. The balcony views across the golf course to the sea were stunning. We were 4 adults, a 6-year-oldand a babyand it felt very roomy. Would definitely come back!

James

Really enjoyed staying here! Perfect for our dog, great locationand overall a fantastic place. Couldn't ask for more, honestly.

Sue

The house is constructed and furnished to a high standard with everything that could be needed for a comfortable home from home holiday. The views are amazing with a magnificent sunset almost every night. Booking arrangements were clear and the follow up support was really helpful. We will definitely come back!

Mark

What a brilliant house for a big family holiday! We loved watching the sunsets from the balcony, relaxing in the hot tuband feeling like we were far enough away from the crowds in Westward Ho while still being close to the shops and food places.

Lucy

This is such a wonderful house! We had an amazing stay here. It was very clean and spacious, with all the amenities we could ask for. The location was great too, close to shops and restaurants. The host was friendly and really helpful. We would definitely recommend it to others! Overall, an excellent experience. Only minor downside was a bit of noise from the street. But it didn't ruin our time!

Emma

The house was just perfect! It had every home comfort you could possibly think of. Very well equipped, very clean, great viewsand a perfect location too. Westward Ho! is about a 10-minute stroll away. The golf club, which was open for non-members, served an amazing Sunday lunch and was also open for drinks and lunches on most days. There are several restaurants in Westward Ho!, plus a great fish and chip shop that even delivered! We loved the fab walk across the golf course to a café where the staff were super friendly. Most places are also dog friendly!

Emily

This property is excellent and really well equipped, plus the location is just great! They provided loads of towels for the hot tuband we found family games to play in the evenings. It's so nice to walk out of the back gate, across the burrowsand along the beach to Westward Ho! or just a quick ten-minute stroll from the front. The views from the first-floor living area and the balcony are absolutely stunning. The accommodation and bedding were spotless too!

Jenny

What a beautiful house with stunning views of the golf course and the sea! It's just a short walk into Westward Ho! We enjoyed a lovely weekend and the house had everything we needed. We'd definitely go back for sure!

Tommy

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you, House for 8 in Stoke Fleming. We had a fabulous stay as you provided everything we needed and were fully equiped for our visit.
