Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The Lookout
We had a fantastic stay in this lovely property. The views are great and the owners very helpful whenever we had questions. A great base for the North Devon beaches and the pool is a great size. Good for kids too but you will need a car to access realistically as it is quite a distance from both the town centre and up a pretty steep hill.

Mrs
Just arrived home from a long weekend at The Look Out. We were a group of 4 adult couples. All I can say is 'wow' to the house itself, the amenities and the views. We made the most of the pool and the pizza oven and the living area made a great dance floor for 'Alexa's tunes. We even caught a fish on a trip from the Harbour and cooked it on the BBQ!. We were lucky enough to have the weather so played swing ball and took the steps up from the garden to the viewing point. A word of warning, however, it is at the top of a very very steep hill so not for the elderly or unfit unless you want to drive everywhere. Kept us fit. Thanks to Hayley for the clear instructions. Would definately recommend a stay here.

Hidden Gem
We’ve just got back from a weeks stay at the lookout. Wow. What a stunning house! The interior was immaculate and the attention to detail was stunning. We arrived late on the Saturday so didn’t get to see the views until Sunday morning but opening the blinds took my breath away. It was lovely to wake up to the view of ilfracombe and the sea every morning. October in half term didn’t bring us nice weather but the indoor pool kept our children entertained for the week, and the wii and Alexa kept us all entertained in the evenings. We are looking forward to visiting again, hopefully with better weather to check out the garden and get some sun on the patio with the pizza oven on!!

Fantastic relaxing stay!
The perfect place for a relaxing holiday with stunning views over the bay. We also enjoyed exploring the beaches of North Devon and walks with the dog in the woods behind the Look Out. The owners are friendly and very welcoming with special treats to greet us. Look forward to visiting again.

A truly beautiful place to holiday
We had the most wonderful week at The Look Out. The views from the house are simply stunning. If you like peace and quiet, then The Look Out, is a perfect place to stay. The house itself, is very well equipped, to a very high standard. It is well decorated, and very comfortable. The beds are very comfortable, we slept very well. The house has woodland behind it, which means owls calling in the late evenings, and early morning, but they don't disturb, that just adds to the magic. We had a great week away at The Look Out, and we will be booking again. Thank you Hayley & Rob, for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

Stunning views and very peaceful
We had a lovely week at the Look Out. The views are stunning and it is extremely peaceful both day and night. Owners are friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble and scones, cream and jam, together with Prosecco nice welcoming touch.You do need a car or be very fit as the approach to the house is very steep, also steps up to the house, although having said that my mother of 88 who has mobility issues did manage them (she counted there are 23 steps)! Local walks are amazing, but again not for the faint hearted. Ilfracombe town and seaside is about 5 minutes drive away so shops and restaurants not far. All in all we were very happy with our choice and would definitely recommend the LookOut.

Gorgeous retreat property with stunning views in a quiet location...
We enjoyed a lovely, sunny, relaxing week at The Look Out in May. The property is beautifully designed, spacious, well equipped to a high standard and has stunning views from every window. It is in a quiet location with lovely outside terracing from which we were able to enjoy the views in the sunshine. Hayley and Rob were welcoming, helpful and very generous in providing a lovely welcome gift of Devon Cream tea, fresh eggs from their chickens, bubbly and even biscuits for our dog! A great hideaway from which to explore North Devon!
