Nilgala House Reviews

Sue
Good spacious property, good location although not easily walkable due to hills! Sauna / Hot Tub lovely for relaxing but access quite tricky
Tracey
An amazing house with so much room. The house was very cosy and we could imagine staying there at Christmas, would be so gorgeous. In a lovely private location and so near to many places. Hot tub was lovely and again in a private shed.
Irene
Just the garden the small pathway going down to hot tub could been level out. Not very good for small children. The steps very steep. I am disabled and I found very hard to get up and down to the hot tub. I only used the hot tub once because the hot tub is in the ground I very disappointed that could use it
Paul
Although the property is positioned away from the town centre it is only a short drive to the supermarket and for our stay here was perfect the accommodation was very comfortable and the hot tub and sauna great and really enjoyed the huge tv in the lounge.
Kellie
The games room was a disgrace, I am very disappointed with it. The pool table cues were broken & the air hockey table did not work. It was a cold dirty garage
Caroline
Lovely house had everything we needed was very clean .
Abi
We traveled as 2 families if 3. The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The younger members of the group loved the games room and we all loved the hot tub and sauna. Its a little way out of Bideford but walkable as long as youre ok with hills. We would definitely recommend
Lisa
Overall we all had a fantastic week. Couldnt fault the house. Location wise, it would have been nice to be in walking distance, for shops & pubs .
Brian
excellent spacious property with good facilities in a good position and ample parking for 2 vehicles.The crockery, cutlery and white goods were first class and furniture was of good quality . A couple of mattresses were hardish but we soon adjusted to them , all bedding was more than adequate.
Sharon
The house itself was lovely in a lovely area plenty to do the hot tub and games room made the holiday
Vicky
Beautiful house, everything you want and need at the property. Lovely hot tub and sauna. Good games room. Most comfortable beds. 6 minute drive from Westward Ho beach. Had a really lovely stay and am sad to be back home.
Kate
Fab holiday home in a superb location!
Mrs
We stayed in October 2021, 7 adults and a 3 month old baby. The house had everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable and spacious. The hot tub went down a treat
Susan
Most of house fab, lovely decor, very comfortable and hot tub with sauna great. Lots of room, couple of beds a bit hard. Dining table had obviously been cleaned with strong product, left it permanently sticky which was horrid. Be careful in bathrooms, showers go everywhere! Good location but at top of steep hill! We didnt love Bideford town, but it was close to lots of better places. Try Morans Thai, absolutely wonderful!
