The location is fabulous, we were there in October, so the weather was stormy, being warm and cosy in the house while watching the waves break on the rocks and hearing the wind on the sea was just great. Lee bay is a fantastic rocky bay with caves and many hidden beaches, worth exploring. The garden is also lovely. The narrow Devon lanes can be a bit daunting but taken carefully you soon learn how to navigate them. This is an 'out of the way' holiday spot but in close reach of cafes and restaurants in both Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. We had a fab time and would definitely return. Thank you. ##### Rachel R.

We very much enjoyed staying here. The coastal walks are spectacular but the area is not flat, lots of up hill but well worth the effort. ##### jane h.

It has such amazing views to enjoy and is a great base to explore North Devon. Right next to the coastal paths which we took into both Ilfracombe and Woolacombe with our dog - tiring but beautiful!

We are 3 sisters and our friend who visit every year to walk the South West Coastal path. The cottage was right on the path so could not have been better placed. We arrived in the dark and could not believe how beautiful the views were when we awoke in the morning. The pictures on the Internet were far exceeded by the real thing. Everything was really clean, warm and fully equipped for our stay. When we were not walking we spent most of time in the conservatory looking at the view or doing jigsaw puzzles. Would recommend this cottage to all age groups and hope to come back again ##### Sue C.

Were expecting torrential rain to bought a lot of jigsaws to make in the beautiful conservatory. It was sunny too so we swam twice a day with paddle boards in the gorgeous Lee Bay. Lovely walk to Ilfracombe. Very relaxing in lovely house. ##### ros goldsmith Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom M. 19 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a position! Fantastically positioned property. Could look at view all day. The little beach below the house was perfect. Although completely covered at high tide, it was great for kids and dogs because it has gently shelving sands. Also doesn't get crowded and we were there in August. ##### Tom M. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen K. 14 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Views Millfield is a fantastic property overlooking Lee Bay. Beautiful views and sunsets and a 2 min walk to the beach. The house is very comfortable and well equipped for a family holiday, with a large enclosed garden.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### David R. 18 Sept 2017 #### Fabulous location All about the location which, with afternoon sun, has to be one of the best situated properties in Lee. Lee itself charming and quiet though the possible development of the derelict hotel in the centre of the village may happen sometime. The cottage itself is spacious and comfortable with modern fitting out and has a wonderful conservatory allowing you to enjoy the view in all weathers. Communication and support from the owners was excellent. Great walks along the cliffs from the cottage. Highly recommended. ##### David R.
