We enjoyed our week at Shellborough. The weather was wonderful, sunny every day. The property was as we remembered it from the last time we visited. One or two improvements had been made. Overall a comfortable, spacious property. Only two of us but plenty of room for two. The views from the balcony are what makes this a place to revisit. They did not disappoint, wave watching and lovely sunsets. One thing to be aware of are the stairs. Obviously, a penthouse has quite a few. These are not a problem for an able bodied person but need to be considered if you are elderly or disabled.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shellsborough Penthouse. The location is excellent with sea views from both bedrooms and a great view from the balcony. The penthouse is very spacious and comfortable with all the essentials.

We have stayed here many times now and it never disappoints. The views from every window are outstanding. The apartment itself is clean, well furnished and quiet. It has its own front door and off street parking. I highly recommend it for a relaxing time in a wonderful place.

What a fantastic find this was! Had a really nice week staying in Shellsborough Penthouse. The accommodation had everything we needed, lovely lounge / dinning area with great views through the patio doors that led out onto a small but very usable balcony providing perfect views to watch the sun setting. Two large bedrooms, the master double was huge with its en-suite bathroom and stunning views through the large Velux window. The twin room had its own shower, toilet and wash basin and again a large Velux window with fabulous views. The kitchen is small but provides everything you need, even fitting in a small dishwasher! The washing machine ( housed in a large cupboard of the entrance hall ) was a great bonus as was the private off road parking. House keeping was great, very clean on arrival. As for the location I don't think it could be any better. 2 minute stroll to the sea, 5 minute walk to the centre of town, 5 minute walk to a fabulous little beach called Barricane Beach, a fantastic sheltered cove with a great little beach cafe. All in all a perfect base for a wonderful break.

We had a fabulous week. We loved the quirky layout of the apartment. The sun was shining and we especially enjoyed watching the sun go down from the balcony. Our host, Jean, was lovely and Maddy from Holiday Home Hunters was incredibly helpful and kind. We were delighted to meet two members of the Mortehoe Coastguard Team - one retired and one still working. Thank you for a lovely week - we will definitely be booking again.

Located close to shops, beaches and National Trust walks, a super little apartment with all that you need for a short break. With a superb lounge view overlooking the sea, and a small outside terrace, nothing better than sitting reading as the tide ebbs and flows and the sun sets on the horizon. Always a pleasure to revisit.

6.0 / 10.0

Excellent position. Kitchen was poorly equipped with only 3 teaspoons, no oven gloves, not enough glasses, no scissors. TV control didn’t work and very noticeable line on the T V screen. No light above the mirror in the twin room. Door to the laundry cupboard on the landing kept opening with a bang. Would like to stay again but would hope that these things would be fixed.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely, warm penthouse apartment with terrific views out of all windows. Just perfect for a short break whether to hop across the road and onto the beach for a walk or to pop into the village to the pub (The Jube) or the shops or stride up the hill to Mortehoe. Comfy and functional, with excellent facilities. Would suit a couple or small family, as two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The recliner chair with a view out to Lundy or the waves crashing against the rocks….a perfect place to unwind.

A great value and highly enjoyable break by the sea

We arrived on the Saturday following Storm Eunice. As the storm was widely forecast and weather warnings in place, we were mildly hesitant, however HHH called us on the Thursday to advise that there had been some minor damage to the roof of the penthouse, but that the building had been checked, was watertight, and ready for us to arrive along witht he local weather forecast. The location is to the side of a sea-front property, and an ideal location being a short walk from the village but hardly far flung. The penthouse (as the name suggests) is in the roof, and up a flight of stairs that is quite steep, so not suitable for anyone who struggles with stairs. The apartment itself is a curious layout, but functional, clean, and well kept. The views are lovely, with the little balcony providing views of the sea-front to the north and Morte Point. The property is well fitted out, with good heating (essential in February) a dishwasher, a great choice of pots, pans, utensils etc. and a washing machine hidden in a cupboard. The Wi-Fi is reliable (30mbps) and the flat screen TV is a little antiquated, but adequate. We also experienced storm Frankly which made for a noisy night (to be expected!) but the double bed is comfortable, and the separate heater in the bathroom ensured that the hot shower was a comfortable winter experience. There is also a 2nd twin bedroom that we didn't use, that also has an en-suite. All in all, we had a great value and highly enjoyable break by the sea in Woolacombe, and would happily stay in the Penthouse again. Thank you HHH.

A lovely little find.

Booking with HHH was quick and the website was easy to follow. The communication was great all done by emails and all the information given was easy to understand. The apartment was as stated, nice and clean especially in Covid times. There are a couple of flights of stairs up to the apartment but not a major issue for most people. It is an ideal location as it’s on the Esplanade over looking the sea and a 5 minute walk to the beach and no more than 10 mins to the shops and restaurants. The local Londis shop has everything you need so you don’t have to venture out if you don’t want too. I would certainly consider staying there again and using HHH.

The ladies ar HHH were very helpful with all our queries and quickly rearranged our holiday to fit in with covid requirements The apartment itself couldn't be in a better position. It gives great views out of every window plus the added bonus of a balcony to enjoy your morning cuppa or evening tipple listening to to sound of the sea The apartment was very clean and tidy,beds were comfy the 2nd bedroom did have low beams so maybe more suited to chilern than adults .It had an endless supply of hot water which was great for the massive bath for a soak after a hard day playing in the surf or walking the coast path,both less than 5 mins away The beach was close enough for us to carry our kayake down to All in all we just loved our time here ❤ and will definitely be going back

Short surf break during Corona madness

Short surf break during Corona madness

Been frequenting woolacombe now for near 30 years of surfing. This was a much needed break in an apartment hitherto unvisited. Excellent sized accommodation with fantastic daytime and evening views (the master bedroom skylight enables the evening star show on a clear night). Great location within easy reach of both the town and both beaches (barricane and main beach). Would visit again, but unfortunately not during Covid madness season as going out was a real chore!!! This is in NO way a reflection on the accommodation but unfortunately did impact on the overall stay

A nice little apartment

A nice little apartment

As the title says - Shellsborough Penthouse is a nice little apartment in the eaves of the building (lots of beams to dodge in the bedrooms!). It is situated on the Esplanade so extremely close to all three beaches and has good views along the main beach and towards Barricane beach from various windows and the small balcony. The kitchen is small and a little basic (no large fridge/freezer and rather old microwave) but with plenty of utensils and storage space, The living area is OK, again dodging the beams, but the sea view does compensate! There is a small balcony with a mini folding bistro set. The bedrooms are fine, especially the master which is spacious with a great view through the velux window. Each bedroom is en-suite, which is very handy. To conclude a nice apartment at an attractive price, though there are an awful lot of stairs so not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Great location and a parking spot. The flat is quite big, I think you could squeeze 5 adults in! The only negative was the wifi - throughout the apartment there was none or almost no signal. Everything else was great. Would definitely stay there again. We took our 1 year old baby and it worked really well.

Shellsborough Penthouse location did not disappoint and the off road parking was an great advantage although a little tight with a van parked next to us! The apartment was clean and had very comfortable beds. Great views over Woolacombe. There were some housekeeping issues which were addressed straight away by Maddy from holidayhomehunter who came round to see us the same evening! We felt that it was well priced for the standard of accommodation offered. September 2019
