Beautiful cottage situated in the historic Fore Street in the heart of Ilfracombe near the harbour. The cottage is well equipped, comfy, homely and the beds are some of the best we have slept in. Only a stones throw from the harbour- everything is within easy walking distance including the many beaches and amenities on offer. The cottage has the benefit of a garden with amazing views- which is rare in the centre of town. There are a lot of steps to get to it, but they are easy to climb and it is well worth the effort. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely be back again. If staying for a week- definitely get a long stay 4-7 day permit for the car park- a much cheaper way of parking your car.
Everything was great.

Moved my booking from April to Oct. Sykes cottages approved and sent confirmation. All evidence of my booking now gone and property readvertising dates for double the price. Taken over £500 from me. Impossible to speak to owner or Sykes to resolve. Terrible! Will never use again.

The location was good,nice garden with lovely views ,beaches,places to eat shops etc close buy.
The cottage was very cold ,heating did nor stay on for long had to keep putting on booster, no beakers to put toothbrushes/toothpaste in bathroom, the shower head was very dirty, no bath mat, or nonslip mat when using the shower.
The garden steps were very steep and the hand rail flimsy, didn`t feel safe. no recycling boxes, when going out the back door the drain cover was off so very nearly tripped over, wasn`t fully informed about the parking situation it cost us over £17 per night at nearest public car park plus if we stayed local we had to keep topping up.

We were pleasantly pleased with the thoughtfulness that went into making the house comfortable with lots of good amenities. The hosts left treats for us that were greatly appreciated. I would say if you have difficultly climbing hills and stairs then you might not consider this home as an option, parking facilities for town as a whole limited and mostly permit parking - would highly recommend purchasing an NDC parking permit for duration of your stay, much cheaper option than daily seasonal rates.

Had a lovely stay at the gorgeous Crab Cottage. It was clean and had everything you needed. The garden is very pretty and has lovely views. Met the hosts Lisa and Paul, who were very friendly and extremely helpful. The cream tea and milk on arrival were thoughtful and very welcomed after a long train journey. Within walking distance of the harbour and high street. Lots to do in Ilfracombe and nearby. The Tunnel Beaches are a must, well worth the small price to get in.

The general set up of the cottage was great, very cozy. We were right in the middle of Ilfracombe which made access to pubs and facilities very easy.
We were presented with a hand book for the house and area with tips of where to go and what to see which we found very useful.
Bed was a bit hard.

We had a lovely stay at Grab Cottage.
The scones and jam on arrival were a real treat - thanks Rosie.
The location was perfect for exploring North Devon. I imagine the garden to be lovely to sit out in the summer. Would 100% recommend Grab Cottage - clean, comfy and fab location.
The beds were slightly hard but that’s just my own preference.

fantastic location,
property was clean and had everything you could want and the garden at the rear was a lovely surprise where you could sit and chill with views of the harbour and sea
The car parking was a little further away than I thought and lots of broken glass around

Die Lage ist sehr zentral, Restaurants, Hafen und Supermarkt schnell zu erreichen, für ca. 50 Pfund kann man im City Council für 1 Woche eine Parkgenehmigung kaufen, der Parkplatz ist ca. 100m entfernt. Es gab ein Problem mit dem Abwasser, dies wurde aber innerhalb von 24h von einem Mitarbeiter behoben. 👍 ein schöner Garten mit einem wundervollen Ausblick gehört zum Haus, und ansonsten ist alles da was man braucht, alles in allem ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Vielen Dank
Die Müllsammlung- und -Entsorgung in Ilfracombe ist für Ungeübte ein wenig kompliziert 😅
