Five star plus. Very large house, ample room for all. A big plus was the TVs in the bedrooms so we could "scatter" in the evenings. Fully equipt with everything you need. Terrific location, walking distance to the fabulous beach. The house itself was clean and tidy. Good information/instructions pre arrival. All in all a beautiful place to spend a week. Thank you Clare.

You wont be disappointed staying in Kipling House.

Ample parking for three cars was a bonus! This is a luxury m odern house & the owners have thought of everything to make your stay a five star experience
Nick
We had a fantastic time here. The accomadation is of a very high standard and 6 adults can stay there comfortably. Great Hot Tub in the garden, but also the 'little things' have been included - all the kitchen utensils we needed, garden furniture, windbreak to take to the beach, iron & ironing board .... You name it, it's there. Just be aware if yo u have little kids that it's about a 15 min walk to the beach/shops/bars. No problem for us, but it might be for some.
Georgia
This cottage was beautiful! We were welcomed upon arrival with 3 mini Victoria Sponge cupcakes which was a sweet personal touch. The rooms were decently sized with bathrooms fully equipped and in working order. The kitchen/lounge was beautifully laid out and the view was stunning! Would recommend and we will be going back in the future!
Cathy
Absolutely beautiful holiday home. It was everything and more than what we expected. The photos are good and an exact resemblance of the property. Comfortable, practical and well stocked with everything we needed for a fab family holiday. The attention to detail was fab, including lovely hand soap, beautifully soft bedding, plenty of towels, well s tocked kitchen and to top it all a cream tea on arrival. Well done.
Anne
Spent a fantastic week at this beautiful property. Very tastfully decorated and furnished, the kitchen is very well equiped and the beds are very comfy. Lovely little touches of blankets to snuggle up in on the balcony and throws for the sofas and a cream tea. The garden was totally secure which was great as we had dogs and a toddler. The garden fu rniture was excellent as was the hot tub. The location was perfect a short stroll into Westward Ho and within walking distance of the beach.
Gaye

Anna
One of the loveliest holiday homes we have ever booked! The house was immaculate and modern with everything you could need for a week away. Clare from North Devon Changeovers was a pleasure to deal with, giving advice on places to eat and anything else we needed to know about the property and the area. The rooms were spacious and light and the gard en was safe for Millie the maltipoo to run around in. A great base for exploring other areas of North Devon. Beautiful, highly recommended.

Overall a fantastic Home , great location and with a touch of luxury
Stephanie
We just got back from a very enjoyable week at The Kipling House. The accommodation is spot with a very well equipped kitchen. The lounge offers more than adequate space. The rooms are airy and light. The location is great, it will take you 15 min or so stroll to get to the local shops (tesco express, and an amazing Thai restaurant. The Pier House is located a further 10 min walk by the promenade and is really worth at least one visit.
Dawn
