The Smugglers Rest, hotel in Woolacombe

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated The Smugglers Rest offers accommodation with water sports facilities and free WiFi.

A superb house with such character . Our room was beautifully decorated , cosy, clean and comfortable. The extra little touches of good quality tea, coffee and homemade biscuits were a treat. The hosts are so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Mortehoe is a lovely village with stunning walks from your doorstep. We would highly recommend you have dinner in Fea’s Bistro , the quality of the food was superb, the service excellent and amazing value for money. We will definitely be returning to Smuggler’s Rest .

Croyde Bay Hotel or Self Catering, hotel in Woolacombe

Offering an indoor pool, Croyde Bay Resort is located behind the Sand Dunes on Croyde Beach. Free WiFi access is available.

We just came back from a weekend spent there and I must say everything was amazing. We stayed into a cottage and it was very spacious, with 2 showers. It was just opposite their playground and mini golf. Our girl enjoyed that very much and we did, too. Also, the pool was really nice, the water was warm, they had a jacuzzi and 2 saunas. So had plenty of relaxation as well. We would definitely go back.

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat.

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat. It's a huge surfing place so there's always plenty of surfers about. The amenities in the town are great, plenty of places to eat and get an ice cream, and touristy shops too to get your postcards and gifts from!

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times.

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times. Our main reason is the fantastic beach and to go surfing. Everything is so clean and well maintained; the facilities are easily accessed, and everyone is very friendly. There are plenty of places to eat, whether it's lite bites, ice creams, waffles or a full meal, and we found a gluten-free diet was well catered for. Topping up on with groceries locally is easy and the bigger supermarkets in Ilfracombe are only a 10 minute drive away.

    Beautiful clean beach.

    Beautiful clean beach. Local amenities not too bad and remained clean even at the end of the day. Very few food or take away options in town so long waits for food - 40 mins or more wait for fish n chips from local take away or over an hour wait for pizza truck.

    I've been going to Woolacombe since I was four years old, and I'm now mid-30s... I'll be back there as often as I can be. It's a beautiful place to visit and I'll continue to for a long time to come.

    Lovely if the weather is good as you cannot improve on a vast beach, which is safe to bathe, swim and surf - good life saving regime in place. Woolacombe is reliant upon take away food facilities which are good but a little expensive.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches. Great for boarders, surfers alike. Tide out and you have your rock pools. Dogs allowed in certain areas these being large areas of the beach so just dandy for all. Negative points are not many shops not many cafes restaurants compared to other by the seaside towns resorts and found to be quite expensive. Take a picnic is the answer if you want to save a pound or two. Great coastal walks, remember to pay for your parking otherwise you are likely to get a ticket.

    The location is fantastic with views to die for. If you cannot get a seaview from your room, then the hotel has a terrace overlooking the sea where you can have a drink and take in the breathtaking surroundings. The room was spotless and there was a really good choice at breakfast. The bar offered a good variety of bar snacks until quite late in the evening. The walk down to Woolacombe is very pleasant, but be warned, the walk up to Mortehoe village is very steep so don't attempt it if you have health issues or mobility problems.

    The location was great and our host offered links and suggestions in advance for bookings, etc. which was a great orientation for us as newcomers to the area. It takes 5 minutes from the apartment to get down to the beach, and it's such a fantastic beach with a welcoming family vibe. It's a spacious apartment with lots of thoughtful items in the kitchen and living room, and great to have parking and a shed to store beach stuff. We had a great stay, and a bonus to have access to the pool and communal facilities. We would recommend!

    Loved it overall. Really well positioned just a short walk from the beach and included parking which was great as Woolacombe parking is not cheap. Super clean and bed and sofa bed were really comfy. Spacious design and great facilities. Really well equipped kitchen with a full size fridge and freezer. Even had a washing machine which was a bonus. Pool and gym were good to have available. Nice terrace area (albeit not private at all).

    Warm welcome by the people at reception. The hotel is old , but good for 1-2 night sleep. Check-in time 4- 10 pm. The food counter was closed by the time we reached there @ 9 pm, but they were generous to served food, considering we had a toddler. Very kind. We ordered lamb curry, rice & Nan. The food was very tasty, Kudos to the chef for cooking for us. Our stay was very pleasant, good sleep considering the hotel is on road.

    Kitchen facilities were great and Kerry had left us all the basics which was so helpful. Instructions for things like hot water were clear, beds comfortable, garden lovely to look out on when raining and a treat to sit in for breakfast in the sun. We were a 6 minute drive from Woolacombe beach and could have walked down the back road if we could have faced the walk back up the hill.

    We had a lovely stay at Fairways. The property is in a nice quiet location, just a short drive from the beautiful beach at Woolacombe. Fairways is a real home away from home. The owners had provided everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. will be returning and definitely recommend it to all.
