Detached, sea front, right on Woolacombe’s renowned Esplanade enjoying views over the beach and across the sea at Combesgate, what more could you want?! This quirky seaside holiday home has ample parking and takes dogs.

Very happy with the accommodation

A lovely comfortable cottage, with glorious views, and lovely sunsets. A short walk to the beach, and to town. A real home from home, we have been coming here for years.

We had a lovely week at Combe Cottage. Brilliantly placed for dog walks straight from the door. Lovely cottage, well maintained, comfortable, all facilities that you need. Enclosed terrace for doggies. However no grassy garden for them to run freely although there is a grass area to sit in at the front of the property where ours needed to be on lead. We didn’t find that a problem as there is a footpath up to Donkey Trail close by.
HHH were as helpful as usual with advising on booking etc Cannot rate Maddy and Sarah highly enough. And the house keeper even called us to advise us that the cleaners had finished and we could enter the property early on our first day, First class service!
Already booking for next year.

Our second time at Combe Cottage, 2 weeks angain and cannot fault. The property is comfortable, spacious and airy, very clean with everything you could need; amazing views and awesome sunsets thrown in too. The side entrance is perfect if you are taking your furry friend as ideal for drying off mucky paws, or removing your footwear before going into main house. The master bedroom (which you’ll have to draw straws for) is beautiful with a huge en suite and a small balcony - you’ll be lulled to sleep by the waves hitting the rocks - a room that really melts your cares away. The landing area again is big with double doors onto a small balcony with a couple of bucket chairs and small table to sit and enjoy the view with a glass of something. I’d love to pick up these 2 areas of the house and take home!. The cottage is tucked back from the esplanade at the Combesgate end away from the hustle and bustle from the main part of the resort but only a short walk down to the main beach with its 3 miles of golden sand and fabulous rock pools at low tide. Perfect! There’s 2 other lovely beaches a very short walk from the house, one being a little trickier than the other due to steep steps but a beautiful beach if you can get down there when the tide is out. My granddaughters love Barricane beach, a slope down to it rather than steps, where they spent time collecting shells.
The housekeeper, should you need her, is super prompt at addressing any concerns and we were even contacted via a third party as the HK phone had died and she wanted to make sure we had another contact number in case of any problems - we were impressed with that. Maddy and Sarah at holiday Home Hunter are fabulously efficient from the time of booking right up to arrival details; they feel a bit like family even though I’ve never met them in all the years I’ve been booking holiday accommodation through them.
I thoroughly recommend Combe Cottage as a great place to stay and I’d be surprised if you were disappointed in any way.

Having stayed at Combe Cottage in 2017 & 2018 we were pleased to see the property had been upgraded since, deceptively spacious, has plenty of everything required, very peaceful spot at the far end of the Esplanade with easy access to the hills behind and just a short stroll to Barricane and Combesgate beaches, weather was perfect so stayed another 4 nights and booked again for 2026.

Once again we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Combe Cottage. It suits our two family’s needs very well. The location is amazing, with stunning views. We had beautiful weather for October & enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the sunsets.

The house is excellent as far as number of rooms & space for 2 families with a great area for wetsuits which is a real plus. The house has all the amenities & equipment provided that we could need.The kitchen is well equipped & the lounge is perfect for everyone to relax after a day on the beach or walking the many costal walks around Woolacombe.

The only things that let it down are the 5pm check in. We appreciate the reasons stated but maybe a text message from the cleaning company if the house is available earlier in the day would be more helpful to guests especially after a long travel time. Also, the downstairs bedroom compared to the other rooms feels cold & less cosy. Upstairs & downstairs feel a bit like 2 different places.

We are looking forward to returning to Combe Cottage next year.

Lovely house in a stunning location. Situated right opposite Combesgate Beach (via a lot of steps) and very near Barricane Beach, very convenient for both. The main huge lifeguarded (not in winter) beach is round the corner, and not as far as we thought for carrying surfboards. The sea views from the house are amazing, especially from the landing, and we also sat out watching the shooting stars and saw the northern lights (not guaranteed!). 5-10 minutes walk from the village shops.
Crucially for Woolacombe, the parking is very easy and there is room for at least two large cars, more if necessary. Although you may well not need to use a car once there, unless you want a trip out.
The covered side area is good for storing boards, and the utility room is a real bonus - space to hang damp things and the indoor wash off shower is very useful for getting the salt/sand off after surfing/swimming.
4 loos and three bathrooms meant there was no shivering waiting to shower after swimming.
There was plenty of space for a family of 6, The house is well appointed with probably everything you would need. Lovely outside space on the patio area and garden, and the beautiful views from inside if not so warm.
We have already booked for next year. I also recommend booking through Holiday Home Hunter - we have been booking through them for several years, and never had a ‘bad’ house/flat.

We have just returned from our holiday and everyone really enjoyed it. Combe cottage is the perfect location, it’s on Woolacombe’s esplanade and only minutes away from Combesgate beach and Barricane beach. It is a short easy walk to Woolacombe village and the main beach. It’s a level walk and that may be an important consideration for some as many properties in Woolacombe are uphill. The cottage itself is very well equipped, we had barbecues every evening and were able to enjoy eating our meals outside, watching the sunsets and listening to the sound of the waves. It has parking for at least 2 cars and that is such a bonus.
We have booked many properties using Holiday Home Hunter, they are a great company to work with, always very helpful. It’s lovely to be able to use a local company as you know they can answer any questions you might have about the property.
We were also very lucky with the weather this year which made our holiday perfect.
Next year our party is a smaller number so we won’t be staying at Combe cottage but have booked another holiday home with Holiday Home Hunter as we know we can trust them.
I have no hesitation in recommencing both Combe cottage and Holiday Home Hunter.

A great cottage for all ages. We are four generations and a small dog and have had another amazing holiday here at Combe Cottage. The accommodation is excellent and there is parking for three cars. The views are beautiful and there are three super beaches and lovely walks right on the doorstep. It is only a short walk into Woolacombe itself.
We have stayed several times before and will be back next year. This is our favourite holiday cottage.
Note there are steps down to Combesgate beach and some dog restrictions apply.

We’ve been holidaying in Woolacombe for many, many years and this was the first time that our family of 3 generations and the dog stayed at Combe Cottage, which is at the Combesgate end of the Esplanade. Wow, what a find; beautiful spacious accommodation, fantastic views, such a lovely, well equipped kitchen for dining or just sitting having a cuppa whilst watching the waves. A great bonus was the side porch enabling us to change our boots and wipe the dog down after a mucky walk before going into the house - great utility room too. Beds were so comfortable, all rooms having their own en suite. You’ll have to draw straws to decide who gets the master bedroom with its fabulous en suite and its own little balcony. So many places in this house to just sit and relax and enjoy the views (or try to escape for the grand kids) especially on a rainy day.

I really don’t have any negatives to say about Combe Cottage, everything we needed was there, including books, games, and a smashing wooden train set that kept the 3 year old entertained for the duration of our stay.

There is a steep slope up to the house, which could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues but somehow even my creaky old knees coped.

Combesgate beach, literally across the road, is a little paradise, accessible when the tide is out with great rock pools for the kids to explore and so much quieter than the main beach. This beach may not be suitable for those with mobility problems as quite a lot of steps down to it and climbing up again may be a little challenging. Barricane beach is also a gem, great for collecting shells and again very peaceful and sheltered from the wind. This beach is easier to reach with a sloping path.

All in all we fell in love with Combe Cottage, really lovely accommodation - as soon as we walked in it felt like ‘coming home’. We thoroughly recommend this delightful property and hope to return next year.

The Cottage is located on the Esplanade with outstanding views of the sea & surrounding countryside. The nearest beach Combe is only a few minutes walk away. Woolacombe shops, pubs, restaurants & beach are only 9 minutes walk away.

The House is very well equipped with all the home comforts & cleaned to a very high standard.

We have enjoyed all our past relaxing stays at the cottage which has resulted in an unforgettable holiday experience.

The house is comfortable and clean and in an amazing location. Watch the sunsets go down over the bay.
For a spot of rock pooling venture down to Combesgate beach just across the road.
Woolacombe beach only minutes away for a safe lifeguarded surf.

Holiday Home Hunter very easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Thank you Maddie and Sarah

This is our 4th stay at Combe Cottage and we’ve already booked for next year. It is a great place to stay, just over the road to Combesgate beach and Barricane beach and a short walk to the main beach and the village. We weren’t lucky with the weather this year but nevertheless Combe Cottage was a very comfortable place for us all to stay. The cottage is well equipped and looked clean and fresh after some refurbishments were done over the winter. We booked through Holiday Home Hunter and the booking process was easy and we were provided with helpful information before our holiday began. I have no hesitation in recommending both Combe Cottage and Holiday Home Hunter.

Once again we returned to Combe Cottage. It's just too good a place not to return to. 2 fantastic beaches just yards across the road and a short walk away to all the facilities of the village. The house is well appointed and very comfortable and has fantastic views across the bay, especially at Sunset. What's not to like.

This was our 2nd summer holiday in Combe Cottage. The house was good before but absolutely gorgeous this time. Changing the bathroom to an en-suite was a brilliant idea. The new roll top bath in the main bedroom’s en suite was a real treat & we loved it. The house boasts the most perfect location with views looking out to sea. I enjoyed watching the sunset in the comfort of the chairs on the landing. Combe Cottage is clean, modern & well equipped providing all the home comforts.
I cannot fault this property & we have already booked for next year!

We have just enjoyed a fabulous holiday staying in Combe Cottage. We are four generations with two dogs and we all love it here. The facilities are great. The location is wonderful with lovely views over Combesgate Beach to Mortepoint. There are three super beaches to choose from and great coastal walks from the door. It is a short stroll into Woolacombe.
This was our third visit and we will be back next year. (Some beaches have restrictions for dogs.)

We had the most amazing time in this cottage. Big enough for all 6 of its and three spaces to relax.
Lots of books and games but we didn’t them as we were blessed with amazing weather.
We spend every event watching the glorious sunset.
We could have done with a few extra sun umbrellas on the patio.

This was our second visit to Combe Cottage and it didn't disappoint. The owner had made a few changes since our last visit, all of which added to the great stay we had. The location of Combe Cottage, overlooking Combesgate beach is second to none, especially when rewarded by the great sunsets we had during our week there. All expected facilities are there, it's always very clean and parking for two cars very handy.

I have stayed at Combe Cottage on a number of times & will be back again later this year.

Since our last stay in September last year the owner has made some markable improvements which further enhance the holiday experience at this lovely cottage.

The views out to sea & the surrounding area are outstanding & the cottage both internally & externally make this a relaxing holiday to remember. Also very well equipped throughout.

Many great walks are nearby & the beach is across the Esplanade from the cottage.

Combe cottage has one of the best sea views from the Esplanade out to sea. Stayed at the cottage on several occasions and enjoy the many rural & coastal path walks from the cottage. Beaches are close by with the added bonus of good surfing to be enjoyed.

On the whole the cottage is comfortable and a great location for a relaxing holiday.

Fab time again in Woolacombe. We love staying at Combe cottage, this is our 5th time in the last 6 years. Cottage has been superb for us over that time but we were extremely disappointed this time. The downstairs toilet was out of use and there was a smell coming from there on our last day. Plug holes in sinks and showers were dirty and blocked. There was no front door Matt. We were short of bath and hand towels. There were crumbs on the kitchen worktops and in the freezer draws when we arrived. Some of the bedding has seen better days. The floors had been moped but it certainly didn’t smell like any cleaning fluids had been added to the water used for moping as it still smelt. The stair banister was dirty and sticky to touch, I guess from previous guests. Overall a substandard clean between guests IMO. I really don’t want to book anywhere else in the future as this cottage has served us well and we have made some great memories here so hopefully my comments are useful and serve to help the owner and all future guests.

Madeeline Palmer from Holiday Home Hunter the agent on behalf of the owner replied more than 1 year ago
Sorry to hear this Darren, this is most unusual as we've not had comments about the cleaning before so the owner is talking to the cleaning team so it won't happen again. I can only surmise that the usual cleaner was on holiday or something so they called in substandard cover?

Spacious comfortable house with great sea views

Our second stay at Combe Cottage with extended family. We have a variety of requirements and this cottage meets them all. The outstanding benefit of this property is its location and views of the sea. Quiet and peaceful but close enough to the village for shopping. Opposite a beautiful beach which is perfect for swimming at low tide. The house is very spacious with a large outdoor area for relaxing and taking in the wonderful views. Holiday Home Hunter as ever are there to look after you from the initial booking to the whole stay of your holiday.

Our second stay at Combe Cottage and again it was super. We love it here. It is comfortable, close to beaches, great walks from the door and lovely views especially from the balconies. Very suitable for sandy feet and dogs with a second entrance into utility room with shower. Short walk into Woolacombe. We are four generations and two dogs and it is perfect for us. We have already booked for next year. The Robinson family.

Combe cottage is a modern, 3 bedroom house, on the Esplanade at Woolacombe, just 10 minutes walk from the centre of the village and the main beach. However it has two lovely cove beaches just across the road, which are lovely and less crowded than the main beach. Well appointed, with a small patio and garden at the front of the cottage, facing the road and the coast. All in all a fantastic location.
The cottage itself is well equipped with a smart TV and Internet, although the connection isn't very fast and sometimes drops out, but as you are on holiday, this is a minor irritation. Many good food takeaway options ery close, including a fantastic beach cafe serving Sri Lankan curries every evening, which is literally 200 yards away.

This was our third stay at Combe Cottage and we have already booked again for 2023 which shows how much we love the cottage. It has everything we want, it is so well situated, very close to Barricane and Combesgate beaches and about a ten minute walk to the village and to the main beach. We were very lucky to have wonderful weather ( the hottest I’ve ever known Woolacombe) and so we were able to ate all of our meals on the patio and we were treated to wonderful sunsets. The views from the cottage are amazing. Luckily the cottage was cool and we were glad to retreat inside during the hottest part of the day.
The cottage is very well equipped with everything we needed.
As usual we have had excellent service from Holiday Home Hunter and I have no hesitation in recommending Combe Cottage and Holiday Home Hunter.

Combe Cottage is by far the best place we have ever stayed & we have been coming to Woolacombe since 1996. The house has everything you need & the views are outstanding. My favourite place was sitting up at the balcony on the landing looking out. The owner has definitely put a lot of thought into the decor as it’s tastefully decorated with simple plain walls & beautiful pictures. A lovely touch were the coasters of Woolacombe.

The house is well equipped with everything you need aswell as puzzles, games & children’s books. We absolutely want to come back next year, you simply won’t get anything better. To top it off the weather was incredible so it really was our best holiday ever.

Thankyou very much!

Combe Cottage is very comfortable and has everything you could need for a lovely holiday. The view from the house and front terrace is absolutely stunning, especially when the sun is shining! All three bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. The seating in the lounge area was good and the kitchen fully stocked, although we didn't do much cooking whilst there. The location is convenient for the beaches, walks, Mortehoe and Woolacombe and we hope to return to Combe Cottage sometime in the future.

We would definitely stay here again. Quiet location. We are mum dad son daughter in law and 14 year granddaughter. Three generations always holidays together. Sadly our daughter and husband had to camp up at damage Barton as only seem to take two or three dogs. Between us we have five. Surely someone takes us all ?

It is such a shame as this property is in a prime location and could be amazing but sadly the owner is not making the most of what it has in this house.
The property is very tired and in desperate need of a lick of paint downstairs. This makes the house look uncared for and a little rundown.
The house was not cleaned to a high standard before we arrived as there was a cut finger nail on the draining board in the kitchen! There was also odd socks and dog chews under the sofa (easily accessible as high off the floor) Considering we are in still in the grip of COvID I would have expected this property to be thoroughly cleaned in between guests.

The property is in a beautiful location and could be a real gem! As it was, our holiday was ok instead of brilliant.

Maddy from Holiday Home Hunter on behalf of the owner replied more than 1 year ago
Im only just getting round to replies to reviews so apologies. Just to update you and anyone concerned after reading your review, the owner has taken all comments on board and has been addressing them this winter with decorating the kitchen and touching up everywhere else, new carpets in both upstairs bedrooms, new bedroom furniture in downstairs bedroom, old wardrobes removed and now a hanging rail in master to give more space. New electric car charger, new outdoor furniture on patio. I think the main problem has been that owners couldn't get here to address issues and update and improve so much during the lockdown years. She plans to do more next winter after this season. Please note new photos were taken on Friday 25th March so will be on the website in the next week.

This is our second stay at Combe Cottage and we have had a fantastic holiday. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the preparation of the house and we had a very comfortable stay. Despite the fact that this has been the second year when hospitality has been affected by the coronavirus the owner has made further improvements to the house with a new fridge and dishwasher and new bed linen throughout the house, we appreciated this. There is everything you need in this house to have a very comfortable stay.
The house is in a fantastic position and looks out onto Combesgate beach, it is just a ten minute walk to the main beach and the shops.
We have also been impressed with the service from Holiday Home Hunter.
We look forward to another holiday at Combe Cottage.

We have stayed at this house 5 or 6 times since it was refurbished for letting approx 6 years ago. It is our favourite house in Woolacombe due to it's location, spectacular views of sunsets, capacity, enclosed patio area, dog friendly, parking for 3 vehicles and number of bathrooms.
BUT we have observed a steady decline in the maintenance of the property and it's contents. The property description on the website needs updating as it dates from the original refurbishment. We found issues with cleanliness on our arrival, plus some items of furniture that were broken and had not been replaced: white goods in kitchen are not brilliant, the fridge is very small for the capacity of the house (so don't order a big supermarket delivery as we did!) and freezer door is rusty, which is below the standard we expected. The housekeeper did quickly replace a broken kitchen chair for us, which was good. We did email the agents with a long list of the issues we found.
We're hoping that the owner of the property reinvests some rental charges into bringing this lovely house up to the standards we expected.
Having said all this, we still had a lovely 2 week holiday.

We have been holidaying in Woolacombe as a family for over 50 years so are very familiar with most of the holiday properties in the area. This is the first time we have stayed at Coombe Cottage and we were delighted with the accommodation. We chose Coombe Cottage because of its location, and we needed a property without steps. It ticked every box for us as a family group. Well presented and furnished, very clean and well equipped. We particularly liked the front patio area with its comfortable outside furniture. Beautiful views and peaceful with no near neighbours. We will certainly return. Thank you Holiday Home Hunter for all the well informed updates regarding our visit in these trying times. A great job, first class service delivered in difficult circumstances. Lynne, Paul and Bet.

Really enjoyed our say at Combe Cottage, despite the stormy weather that week. The views from the cottage are excellent, and even when indoors on a wet day, the sight of the waves crashing on the rocks of Morte Point was wonderful. The cottage is well appointed, and spacious. Would definitely recommend. Very good location for walking the coast path or the hills at the rear.

This is the 6th time we have stayed at Combe cottage. we have been coming to woolacombe for 30 years and this is the best property yet! Ideal for a multi generational family holiday - location is perfect, 10 min stroll to the village and woolacombe beach. But less than 50 meters to the beautiful and (much) quieter combesgate beach.

We have just returned from Combe Cottage and have had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very clean and at this point in time that is very important. The furniture and furnishing were good quality
and there was everything there that we needed.
It was really nice to have both a washing machine and a tumble dryer to use.
The view from the house is stunning and can also be enjoyed from the patio and small garden at the front of the house.
It is a very short walk down to Combesgate beach which is perfect for rock pooling and it’s a ten minute walk to the main beach and shops.
There is ample parking for 2 cars.

Great location with sunset framed in open patio doors. Patio is perfect place to spend time and watch the sun go down.

We do think that redecoration of master bedroom is needed, with new hanging space, which is currently very limited.

This accommodation is now one of our very favourites to stay as we now have a dog it is quite difficult to find a decent house with a view. This exceeded our expectations! Large living space with everything you need to make your stay comfortable throughout, extra touches like large utility room and separate kitchen area was great. The views are outstanding particularly loved the landing area at sunset! Enjoyed the welcome cream tea package as well, lovely touch. Will definitely return!
