Perfect little getaway
This property was the perfect weekend trip away, with it being fairly modern. The owner had left some essential products which was a lovely touch, we were able to check in early which was perfect as we had arrived a lot earlier than expected. We was blown away with how nice is was and how spacious it was. The parking out the front was okay but found it hard during the week day with two cars. On my google maps it took us to another place but it is on the main road to your left going up the hill. Would highly recommend.

Great House and Host
Fiona and Tim have a great house and the photos are not doing the house justice! Close to plenty of things to do and short drive to Woolacombe beach. It’s in the middle of a council estate and parking is difficult and the trek up to the house was a pretty long and steep! However once in the house it’s like you’re transported and you don’t see the estate that you’re in. The beds are very very soft and lots of us were struggling with our backs. The value for money is 10/10. Overall rating 8/10. I would use again!

Family holiday
The property is very good and the terrace excellent, the back garden is steep. The main problem is the access, up a long slope or steps and then a narrow steep climb to the house. Parking was also a major issue as the residents of a long terrace take up most of the parking most of the time, some never moved the whole week we were there.

August 2022 holiday
The process of booking the property was excellent along the the communication with Fiona who was always swift with her replies. The property was in excellent condition and was fully equipped. The only down side was parking on the road. However we had a fantastic holiday with glorious weather in what is a lovely property.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
We moved from Bristol to Ilfracombe 18years ago and love all that it has to offer. We have two children. I am a ceramicist and sell my work throughout the uk. My partner is a carpenter and has designed, built and renovated many houses. We bought the Cube in 2020 as a semi derelict property and have completed an extension and total renovation.

Why they chose this property

We bought the Cube because of its detached and elevated position set in its own garden. This means that it is quiet has lots of wildlife and great views whilst benefitting from being near to town, countryside and beaches. It is a sunny haven.

What makes this property unique

The Cube sits on a west facing bank and has sun all day. The outside spaces are real sun traps. It has far reaching views across the tors and the valley. Open the bi fold doors off he dining room and enjoy a peaceful breakfast with bird song on the front terrace. Or watch the sun go down.
