Hi Nikki and Mark, Sorry for the late message, I'm only just getting ready to turn in and wanted to say how lovely Seaweed is and how instantly comfortable we all feel here so thank you! It has been a very long day of travelling so it makes all the difference to arrive somewhere and feel so relaxed straightaway.

Teresa

Thank you so much for the lovely treats and all the hard work preparing Seaweed for our arrival! We are making ourselves right at home 😃😃

Sue

Seaweed is such a fabulous home, best home from home we have stayed in so far. Perfect size , 3 couples stayed comfortably, great location, absolutely spotless I totally recommend this home to everyone. Nikki & Mark our hosts kept in touch from the day we booked our staycation. So friendly and accommodating, what ever you need is no trouble at all to them and they are just around the corner if you do need assistance. A personal note to you from Nikki & Mark and a wonderful bottle of bubbles in the fridge upon our arrival and fresh bread with butter and jam. 💕 Fabulous handbook provided by Nikki & Mark with every question answered and helpful emergency contact details if required. leaflets with things to do around the area and takeaway & restaurant menus to hand. Absolutely love this home!!! and can’t thank Nikki & Mark enough for being so amazing!!! . We love this hone and we will be booking again .. 5* from Sue and the rest of the Redman family 😘💕

Adam

We really enjoyed staying at Seaweed. The house was lovely and in a great location

Alan

My wife, daughter and I stayed in the property for a week from 9 September 2022, and were totally impressed with everything, from it's position in Combe Martin and for the area, and especially the cleanliness and space. Also the friendly welcome pack of provisions - including the bread and wine. If ever we visit North Devon again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay in the property again and can thoroughly recommend it. In fairness we feel we should mention the only thing we commented on after arriving at the property, and that is that although the master bedroom had wardrobe space, the other two bedrooms didn't. BUT, this is only a very minor negative, and didn't affect our stay, but we feel it ought to be considered. Nevertheless, we would stay in the property again. Thank you so much.

Landon

Clean, modern, comfortable
Nikki was a very good host. Left us everything we need to start off with Home was very clean. Beach and dog friendly beach minutes away. Lovely modern home. Would not hesitate to visit again.

Jules

We’ve stayed at Seaweed Cottage many times, yet when you walk through the door it feels like we’re the first ever visitors. The cottage is immaculate and cozy. It’s the small details that make us feel special: chocolates on the bed, bubbles in the fridge, and a yummy homemade Swedish chocolate cake. We were there to celebrate Christmas with family. So it was nice to have a decorated Christmas tree & holiday decor throughout the B & B. We would recommend Seaweed cottage to all our friends and family.

Marilyn

Wonderful accommodation ideally situated within 3 minute walk to the beach and with two parking spaces outside the front door. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in August from the minute we arrived. So many thoughtful little treats had been left for us including home made bread. The house was extremely clean and the owners eye for detail has to be seen to be believed. Communication with Nikki and Mark on What’s App meant that any small query we had was dealt with immediately. Would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to return in the future.

Sharon

We have just returned from what can only be described as the most perfect holiday. The cottage was immaculate and had everything that you could possibly need. Home from home with lovely little touches from home-made sour bread and jam to dog treats. We met Nikki and Mark by chance as our satnav sent us the wrong way. They were very friendly, warm, and welcoming.
Combe martin is such a great location for exploring North Devon.
We will miss our morning walk to the beach (literally 2 mins away) and then again in the evening.
We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Seaweed cottage and can't wait to return.
Thank you again.

Simon

This was our second visit to Seaweed and we could not love it more. The location is incredible and the house spotless with everything you could ever need.
What makes the stay incredible is the amazing owner Nikki who is one of the kindest and friendliest people we have ever met. She truly cares about her guests and we already count her as a friend. Best Airbnb stay we have ever had and we have had a lot all over the world

elena

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The house was perfect and had everything that we needed, including delicious home made bread! Nikki is a great host and helped us feel at home :)

Sarah

Our stay at Nikkis lovely home was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Seaweed Cottage is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing week of exploring the local area! Nikki couldn’t have done anymore to make our stay better, she truly made it feel like home. We spent the Christmas week there and she went to every effort to make it feel festive! Honestly could not have asked for anymore! If you are looking for the perfect place for your holiday then look no further!

chas

This is a fantastic holiday home, very clean, tastefully decorated, contains everything you need and more for self catering. Seaweed is a stone’s throw from the beach. Everything is on your doorstep. The coastal walks are wonderful and not too strenuous, you can walk straight from the house. The sea doesn’t go out too far, so very safe for paddle boarding and swimming. I recommend Sunday Lunch at the Pack of Cards (pub). The hosts are wonderful and provided prompt communication. We had a great family holiday with our two teenagers.

anna

Seaweed is an adorable 3 bed house couple of minutes' walk from the Combe Martin beach. It is spacious and packed with all the amenities that you will need. the house is centrally located with shops restaurants and pubs nearby. Nikki and Mark were great hosts, always available and provided us with great hospitality. we would stay there again when we visit next.

Helen

Beautifully decorated and furnished property ideal for beach and coastal walking.
Warm and comfortable with everything we needed.
An attentive and helpful host.

Simon and Family

Seaweed cottage is beautiful and in the perfect location. It is a minute walk to the beach, local pubs/restaurants and shops and is wonderfully decorated and furnished. A perfect stay for our family of four.

The house is immaculate, superb amenities and comfy beds. What sets Seaweed apart from other stays is not the awesome house but the truly spectacular hosts. They couldn’t have been kinder with perfect communication, helpful suggestions and a genuine desire for us to have a good time.

We have stayed at hundreds of places over the years but the hosts at Seaweed are head and shoulders above anyone in the world. The small welcome touches like (fresh home made bread and Easter chocs for the kids) to the ideas of where to visit and the super considerate check in to make sure we were ok after a particularly windy night all made this one of our most memorable stays ever.

Can’t thank them enough. Incredible house, awesome location and world beating hosts - couldn’t recommend more!!!!!

Burrows Family

We couldn’t have chosen a better house to suit our needs as Seaweed. It was light and spacious and very welcoming. On arrival we met Nikki just cleaning the outer windows, which is always a nice thing to see, it's not just about the inside of a house. It was very well presented and you would want for nothing living their full time.

We had homebaked bread, butter, jam plus milk and a bottle of wine to boot. It was very clean (spotless) and was set out to a high standard very much like an Ikea showroom, which is what we like.

We felt secure and were able to park the car outside, which is always a bonus when holidaying in the south west.

We took advise for the local attractions from leaflets left in the house.

We would stay again or recommend staying there.

Gerry & Family

Great house, awesome location and top hosts. The house is extremely comfortable and very well equipped it also has the best beds.
It’s a two minute walk to beach, pub and shops. House has off road parking which is great with tired, wet kids and dog.
Hosts are so helpful, with restaurant suggestions and days out guides. Also the homemade bread on arrival was a delicious treat to go with the wine.

Great holiday, we will be back!!

Vicky & Family

We had a lovely stay at the house.
Very well placed for easy access to the beach, shops, pubs and bus stop (which we used a lot to save driving to places to walk the coast path)

The house was very, very clean and tidy on arrival, with some very much appreciated touches, fresh bread, milk, butter, a welcome card and a bottle of wine along with some other sundries, little touches like that show the good intent of the owner.

Very well laid out accomodation to suit our group and the property was very well stocked with everything (and more) that you need for self catering when required.  

Our host went out of her way to recommend some walking routes and was nothing but helpful throughout our stay.

I think this is a new venture for our host and I really think she is doing a fantastic job.

We had a great holiday and were delighted that we visited, it was better than we expected and highly recommended to others.

The weather has been kind so we have enjoyed walks and the scenery visiting different places.

Joyce Trish & Diane

Just to say a big thank you for all the goodies waiting for us on arrival. The sourdough bread was particularly enjoyed by one of the group. The other 2 enjoyed the wine. The house was very welcoming and comfortable.

Andrew & Family

I have to say the cottage was awesome and we loved our time at Seaweed. Everything was catered for and we loved the finishing touches and welcome pack when we arrived, just so welcoming!
Location was brilliant, right in the middle of all the local attractions and beaches...and a very easy walk to the local pub as well.
We can’t fault anything, Nikki and Mark have done a brilliant job and we’ll be back for sure in the future!

Steve and Charis

Hi Nikki, we genuinely have never stayed in anywhere around the world that has been so spotless and thoughtfully prepared. Well done and thank you. Thoroughly looking forward to our week. Enjoy your weekend, Steve & Charis.

Melanie Jones

Wow! What can i say about this beautiful home. Finished to the highest of quality and feels like it's home from home. Such amazing people who own this property, very accommodating and nothing is ever too much trouble. Very short walk to the beach and local facilities. Really loved every part of my stay here, and really hope to come back to the beauty of Seaweed. Loved it 😍😍😍😍

Sarah Jetten

We felt really privileged to be one of the first families to stay in this cute cottage. It really doesn't disappoint. Everything you need is included at Seaweed and there are little thoughtful touches throughout. It is a great location both near the shops and the beach so you don't need to wander far or take the car out whilst there for anything you might need. The porch is also great for taking off sandy shoes so you don't have to bring it in. Really loved our stay and would definitely recommend (and have recommended) and hopefully stay again sometime soon! I have to also mention the water pressure which is amazing!!

Tim Young

What an amazing place to stay. The place is finished to a high quality and is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing holiday or short-break. Located just a few minutes walk from the beach and high street. Don’t miss the sunset on the beach or you can watch it as we did, relaxing in the Focsle pub in the harbour. Short drive to many other beaches such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde or the harbour towns of Lynton and Lynmouth. We will be back.

Kerstin Schmitt

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, lovingly furnished and newly opened holiday home. Completely furnished, nothing is missing. Very nice owners. The beach is very close, there are good pubs and shops. Don't miss the sunset on the beach!

(Original) Ein wunderschönes, liebevoll eingerichtetes und neu eröffnetes Ferienhaus. Komplet eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Sehr nette Eigentümer. Der Strand ist sehr nah, es gibt gute Pubs und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Nicht den Sonnenuntergang am Strand verpassen!

Alison Jonsson

The whole family had a fabulous stay at this beautiful holiday home in the quaint seaside village of Combe Martin. The house itself is stylish, modern, bright, spacious and exceptionally clean. Open plan kitchen/diner, comfy sofas and beds and excellent bath/shower rooms make this a great place to relax in. It is in a quiet location, yet within a two minute walk of the beach, pubs and cafes. Off street parking is another tick in the box. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive to all our needs (including a wasp sting!). All in all, great value for money and highly recommended.

Tom Bedford

Lovely brand new holiday rental. Combe Martin is just the best area for walks and amazing beach.
