Homestar at Westward Ho! was very clean, warm and comfortable. Good parking and dog friendly. It is well placed for the beach and shops. The owners made it ready at short notice after we had to be moved from our original holiday home, we had a very chilled out week. Would definitely come back.

A lovely and spacious property, just a few minutes walk from amenities and beach. Space to sit out at front and rear of property was nice, plus bonus of hot tub. Would recommend Instow beach for dogs and Tarka trial if you fancy a lovely traffic free bike ride. Also visited Clovelly, Appledore and Bideford locally.
