Set right by the sea in the bustling harbour town of Ilfracombe, this lovely three-storey property is ideal for intrepid families keen to discover the treasures of North Devon, Exmoor National Park and the exquisite South West Coast Path. Stroll down to the promenade and peruse the shops, pubs and eateries, Ilfracombe Museum, The Gallery and the iconic Landmark Theatre. Bask in the calm tidal bathing pools at Tunnels Beach, a sandy cove made accessible by Welsh miners who hand-carved four tunnels through the cliffs in the 1820's. Wildersmouth beach and Watermouth Bay (3.5 miles) offer excellent days out for those who love to stay by the coast.

Inside the property you'll find sweet mid-century styling and a light and breezy ambience. From the ground-floor snug and utility room, ascend to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and sea view balcony. There's a welcoming retro feel here that's both comforting and contemporary, with sandy shades, subtle lighting and a superb family-size corner sofa. After thrilling days out, sink into a steaming bath, spill out onto the communal courtyard on warm summer nights and drift into a contented seaside sleep in the three second-floor bedrooms. The master king-size room has a Juliet balcony and floor-to-ceiling sea views. There is secure storage for bikes and surf stuff.

Find gorgeous beaches at Combe Martin (5 miles), Rockham Bay near charming Mortehoe (6.5 miles), Woolacombe (7 miles), Putsborough (9.5 miles), Croyde (10 miles), Saunton Sands (11 miles) and Westward Ho! (24 miles). Hugging the sea cliffs and linked by a funicular railway, Lynton and Lynmouth (20 miles) are known as Little Switzerland for being both scenic and spectacular. If you want to spend a day further afield, explore Exeter, Newquay, St Ives and Penzance from Barnstaple train station (12 miles).

Property was in a great location and was very comfy with everything we needed. Only issue we had was with the small balcony off the lounge area. It wasnt cleaned before we arrived and was covered in seagull guano. We asked for this to be cleaned as soon as we arrived but this never happened

Beautiful and clean terraced house. The location is very convenient, as it is within a few minutes' walk of shops and ten minutes' walk to Ilfracombe harbour. Other guests have mentioned this, but the parking is completely impractical unless you have a small hatchback. The entrance to the courtyard and garage is extremely narrow. We paid 25 for a 7Read more-day permit to use local car parks, of which there are several near the apartment. Other than that, it was excellent. Hide

Fantastic property in a great location right in the middle of Ilfracombe. 2 min walk to the High Street and the seafront. Very comfortable inside with great amenities. The entrance to the property is very very tight, and we only just squeezed a Ford Focus through there, you wouldn't get anything bigger through.

We really enjoyed our stay at Market Mews. The property was very well equipped with lots of personal touches. What I would say though is that more explanation could be given as to how tight the entrance is. I have a Ford Focus and could barley get my car down the alley way. In fact I scuffed my bumper and whilst we were there we saw someone with a Read moreVolkswagen Polo smash a wing mirror and another car scaped their bumper quite badly. Hide

Wonderful, comfortable, quality, clean accommodation. The pictures on the site reflect the property well. Anyone with a large car/roof box will struggle to fit through the narrow passageway to access the courtyard where the garage is located (circa 2m wide x2m high) but there is a P&D carpark nearby. Cannot fault the attention to detail and comfortRead more within the property. Hide
