Rock Pools Westward Ho! Reviews

Emily Roberts
We had an amazing time at this lovely house for my birthday week. The place was spotless and had everything we needed, plus a great spot just a short stroll to the beach. The nearby restaurants, especially The Beaver Inn in Appledore, served fantastic food with such friendly staff. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogand relaxing in the jacuzzi was a real treat. We’re definitely coming back soon!

The place was really nice and perfectly situated. It was super clean and comfy, though we weren’t fans of the 9am checkout. Still, overall, we’d definitely recommend it. Thanks a lot!
James
We had a great stay in Westward Ho! The house was cosy, especially with the under-floor heating which kept us warm. The outdoor shower with hot water was a real bonus-perfect for the hot tub and rinsing off the dog after beach adventures. Overall, a lovely spot we’d happily return to!

Emma
Really enjoyed our stay! The house was spotless, well-stockedand the location couldn't be better.
Emily
We stayed for a week with our daughter, son-in-lawand adorable 11-week-old granddaughter. The place is modern and in a fab, quiet spot-perfect for relaxing. The master bedroom fit our Moses basket, but a cot might be tight. The twin room was a bit snug, with minimal storage. Easy stroll into Westward Ho! and close to the golf club. Lovely stay!
James
This cottage was just what we needed-super modern, spotlessand cosy from the moment we stepped inside. The views really make you feel like you're on holidayand the dogs had a blast exploring nearby. The hot tub was perfect after long beach walks!
Emma
We had an awesome stay! The house was spotlessly clean, super comfyand really well kitted out - made our holiday stress-free. Plenty of space and loads of natural light gave it a modern, airy feel. The hot tub was a lovely bonus after long walksand the location was perfect - just a short stroll to Westward Ho and close to Northam Burrows, ideal for dog walks and beach days. We loved the walkable beach when the tide was outand Appledore was a quick drive. Definitely planning to return!
Emma
We stayed at this lovely houseand it’s really modern with plenty of space, which we appreciated. The only downside was the hot tub and patio area looked like they hadn’t been cleaned after the last guests, with balloon bits, cigarette buttsand a scummy ring around the tub. We called the hot tub companyand despite it being a bank holiday, someone came out the next morning-apologising and giving it a good clean. They even checked again two hours later. Great service, but honestly, it should have been sorted before we arrived!
Jane
We loved the spotless, cosy house with everything we needed. It was super comfyand our dog had a great time too! The area is packed with things to do, definitely worth a visit. Just a heads-up, it gets pretty busy during school holidays!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely modern house. The hot tub and outdoor shower were great touches - especially handy for muddy dogs, since it’s accessible from the back gate, so no need to trudge through the house. The quiet estate made for a super peaceful break. It’s easy to get toand there’s a Tesco just a short walk away. We stayed in December, so summer might be busier, but overall, a great spot!
Simon
This place is pretty modern and well kitted out, just a short walk to the shops and beaches. The bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor felt a bit tight, but the showers and hot tub made up for it!
