“a truely family oriented location.” Shell Cove House is the one place that as soon as we left, the kids wanted to know when we'd be back!! The accomadation was sparkling clean, comfortable and well thought out. Thought had gone into making it as functional and family friendly as possible with out skimping on comfort and homey touches. The grounds were beautiful and safely enclosed so the kids could go out and parents have peace of mind. The games room and pool were a huge plus. The staff were wonderful, helpful and not bothered atall by tons of questions from my inquisetive children!!!! Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Response: Thank you for the review, our only guests to date from New York! It was a pleasure to meet you and hope we can welcome you back another time. Many guests say how ideal it is here for all ages, children, parents and grandparents as well as couples seeking a quiet escape.

“We didn't want to come home!” We chose Shell Cove House for our honeymoon with our 17 month old boy after looking for somewhere in Devon that was child friendly and somewhere peaceful and secluded. We were not disappointed. When we arrived after a 5 hour drive there was a welcoming cream tea which went down a treat! We stayed in the Turrit apartment which was very spacious, extremely clean and had everything we needed and the views of the garden and the sea were spectacular! From the moment we arrived I knew this was going to be a holiday to remember. And it was!! Our little boy loved the little house in the garden and the pool which we struggled to keep him out of! We will definelty be returning in the future it's just a shame we had to return back to Leeds. Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday so enjoyable! Response: Thank you for your lovely comments. So glad you had a special honeymoon with us.
