Homestar Reviews

Emma
We loved this cosy spot right by the sea - waking up to those views was brilliant! The garden was perfect for our dog, super secure and peaceful. Having a washer and dryer was a lifesaver since we’re into cold water swimmingand the hot tub was such a treat, totally private. It really had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

We had a lovely stay here! The room was really comfortable and the facilities were spot on. The scones with jam and cream were absolutely deliciousand the location was perfect - easy stroll to the seafront with loads of places to eat nearby. Definitely recommend trying the local ice cream.

We had a fantastic stay! The location is super central, making it easy to explore North Devon. Since we knew the area, it was lovely revisiting familiar spots and discovering new ones. The weather was really on our side-beautiful sunshine! The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even leaving scones, creamand jam which was such a lovely touch. The house was comfy, cleanand very dog-friendly, which was perfect for us. Honestly, we didn’t want to leaveand Westward Ho! is just gorgeous for both dogs and humans.

Beautiful cottage, amazing views, but a bit too quiet.

We spent a week here at the start of Decemberand it was really lovely. The house was spotless and cosyand we appreciated the little touches like the cream tea ingredients waiting for us.

Homestar in Westward Ho! was super cosy, really cleanand kept warm. Parking was hassle-freeand they’re so pet-friendly which was great for our dog. It’s perfectly situated near the beach and shops.

James
What a great spot! So close to the beach and town, just a flat 5-10 minute walk. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for my parents to get some peace away from the grand kids. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was loads of living space for all 6 of us!
Mark
We stayed here a few years back and the location is just ideal! They've really improved things with parkingand the small secure garden is excellent for our dog.
Emma
We had a wonderful time and were very pleased with everything! The location was perfect for exploringand the staff were super friendly. Can't wait to come back again.
Emily
What an amazing home in such a beautiful location! We had an incredible week making good use of the hot tub. The property was very clean and welcomingand it was lovely to see a home that actually looks the same in real life as on the website. Too often we've booked somewhere only to find the house a bit tired and worn, but that was definitely not the case here. There’s loads to do without travelling miles and the beach is stunning. The chip shop down the road served delicious fish and chps!
