Below you will find just a few of the comments that can be found in our visitors book.

Fantastic pool, beach, views and as for watching the moon on the water…excellent. Just leave the car keys on the side and enjoy what's on the doorstep. Lambert family.

A truly happy and relaxing holiday, with all the little extras and beautiful surroundings to make it special. Margaret and Don Baker.

What an idyllic place for Christmas. We have all enjoyed the peace and quiet. The grandchildren loved the facilities and we managed the path twice to beachcombe! The caves are great fun. Please can we come again?

We come year after year and hope to come many more. Mr and Mrs Tones

Lovely peaceful location. The Rockery is very comfortable, everything you could wish for. We are going home refreshed after only a few days. We will certainly be returning. Mr and Mrs Adshead

Our 7th visit to Shell Cove. Wonderful relaxing holiday. Lovely to see the green woodpecker so close. Thanks Linda and staff. Mick and Connie. Warwickshire

We arrived for our 41st stay to our favourite spot. Brenda and Colin Thaxter.

This has been our first holiday in Devon and we feel very lucky to have found the beautiful location of Shell Cove House. We have been down to the beach each evening to listen to the waves and watch the sunset. So peaceful. Mr and Mrs Wix

Our first holiday at Shell Cove, what a pity we did not find it before. Just perfect, quiet enough but not too quiet just the sea, childrens laughter and of course the trains. Weather to order! We watched dolphins round the bay and other wildlife in abundance. Mr and Mrs Leech.

Thanks for a great week - Crab Pot cottage is joy to live in. So much imagination has gone into the place. Basavoraj family.

We have been delighted to introduce another generation to Shell Cove House. Crab Pot cottage is a triumph. Latchford family.

I liked my pirate bedroom and the beach. Konrad age 8

I loved visiting the beach and playing croquet with Linda Jameson Bart age 8.

A perfect, idyllic place, cant wait to return. Owen family

Umpteenth visit, we never tire of this place. Mr and Mrs Bird

A true piece of old England. Long may it last. Sutton family.

Fantastic! This was our first visit and we were most impressed. Information and facilities excellent. Beautiful spot. Lots of lovely places to visit in 5 - 10 miles. Chesworth family

A lovely week. Beautiful weather, superb facilities and spectacular scenery. 3 under 10's entertained with ease all week.

We have had about ten holidays at Shell Cove whilst our children were growing up. We have now returned after a gap of eighteen years with our grandchildren. Shell Cove has changed little. It is still the place for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting. We look forward to coming again. Moss family

I knew I had to bring my parents this time. They loved it! Green family

You have a wonderful place here and we especially appreciated how well thought out it is for children. Signe family

James, age 10. I like Shell Cove House because we had fun in the games room with bar billiards and I had fun on the beach. The garden was good because I played football and flew off the swings.

Thomas, age 12. I liked shell Cove because I made a new friend and had fun

We have had a magical holiday here, very sad to say goodbye. Loved 'our' beach. Lucky enough to see the flying Scotsman go past down there. Really going to miss our daily swim in the lovely pool too. Robins family.

A fantastic return to a well loved holiday location. Merlin bought me here as a surprise- my family came here 8 times when my sister and I were little. It has hardly changed at all. Shell Cove is still a magical place. Mr and Mrs Shepherd.
