  • Large, spacious and beautifully presented home with a private hot tub
  • Sits in a beautiful elevated position with the balcony enjoying panoramic sea views
  • Set within walking distance of the heart of the seaside town of Ilfracombe
Property code: OC-48133

A secluded terrace with a bubbling hot tub, a spacious balcony with harbour views, and a sleek and stylish interior: few properties can rival this three-storey house, whilst also boasting an excellent location within a 0.5-mile walk of a bustling town centre. It is hard to imagine a better place to stay for those who have an appreciation for contemporary styling and also want to be near to a wide choice of restaurants, cafes, and takeaways.

Entering this property on the second floor, the first thing that guests will notice is the stunning harbour views which can be viewed from the lounge. Large glass doors here flood the room with light and open onto a spacious balcony where a table and chairs allow guests to enjoy relaxed al fresco drinks and dining whilst watching the twinkling lights on the water. One bedroom, a king-size room with an en-suite shower room, can also be found on this floor, whilst the kitchen/diner is situated on the first-floor, with the remaining two bedrooms located downstairs on the ground floor. A door on this level leads out to a contemporary-style patio and the sumptuous hot tub: the perfect way to round off a day of sightseeing.

Ilfracombe in North Devon is a wonderful place to enjoy a seaside holiday which can be as active or as relaxing as guests choose. There is a good array of shops and places to eat in town, many of which serve freshly-caught local seafood. Or perhaps head down to the harbour where Damien Hirst’s huge stature Verity keeps watch over the boats coming in, and from where visitors can make the trip across to the tranquil island of Lundy for a day of wildlife spotting.

  • 3 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 2 twin zip-and-link (which can be made into super-king-sizes on request)
  • 2 bathrooms - 1 bathroom with shower, bath and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with WC

Lantern View is a well located and comfortable place to stay. There is off-road parking for 2 cars just in front of the entrance door which is very useful, as the street is often packed with cars and vans and getting into and out of the parking area can be a challenge. There is also a slight ramp up to the parking area and some cars will ground wheRead moren manouvering. However if you don't park in the parking area, the neighbour complains! The coffee machine uses the less common Nespresso Vertuo Pods, rather than the commonly available Original Pods, therefore bring these with you if you wish to use the machine (the instant coffee provided was only decaf).

An excellent property that was kitted out with everything you could need for the stay. The property gives you a wow factor as soon as you walk in and it continues throughout offering a lot of space for all to enjoy. Only a short walk from the Ilfracombe Harbour made it very easy to explore the town.

Lantern view was a beautiful home, with fab views of the sea. Central location to walk around in Ilfracombe and accessible to visit other areas. The house was nice and clean with immaculate rooms, the space over three floors was great for us to spread and have some time away from the kids. Highly recommend this accommodation for a fab holiday.
