Larkrise, The Penthouse

Location, location, location! Absolutely spectacular scenery in the surrounding area, a hikers paradise. (Bring good walking boots or wellies as some of the walks are muddy). We could watch the sun set over the water from the kitchen window which was incredible. The village is small and absolutely gorgeous, but still has several places to eat 2 takeaway and 2 eat in. There is a church, pub,museum and shop/post office - hearing bell ringing practice in the church on wednesday night was a treat.the bus service is good, goes every hour to Ilfracombe and wollacombe and bus stop is 5minutes walk from the house. The property is well equipped with great kitchen, comfy beds, additional tv in one of the bedrooms. Just would benefit from having a work desk in the twin bedroom with a WiFi extender as we had to work from the kitchen table which was not ideal. The twin bedroom would make the perfect spot for a desk because the view from the window is gorgeous (can see cows grazing on the hill by the sea). Only other issue we had was the codes given for the front door and bin store didn't work, fortunately residents in the flat below helped us out with this. Overall we had a fantastic stay and definitely will be back. Not suitable for people with mobility problems though cause quite a few steps alough our 75 year old mum did manage ok
