Proudly positioned in the heart of a historic harbourside town, enjoy elevated panoramic views over the bay and beyond from almost every window of this contemporary penthouse apartment; an enchanting bolthole perfect for a coastal getaway.

After a day exploring the delights of the surrounding coastline, grab all the local goodies you’ve collected and climb to the first floor to be welcomed into an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room where you can whip up a hearty meal and enjoy a romantic dinner beside the large picture window framing the stunning seaside view. As the evening draws in, relax on the comfortable sofa and pop on the SMART TV or simply admire the sunset over the Bristol Channel. When bedtime calls, you won’t be able to resist the peaceful charm of the double recliner bedroom; why not have a soak in the luxurious bath in the stylish bathroom before bed? Catch the last of the day’s sun on the superb balcony, perfect for al fresco dining whilst watching the waves crashing against the rocks in the distance.

The Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe boasts a historic harbour, with Damien Hirst’s statue, Verity, standing guard at the entrance, plus plenty of independent cafes, shops and ice cream parlours to explore. Hop aboard a boat trip from the harbour half a mile away to spot seals, dolphins and porpoises against panoramic views across the bay. Also from the harbour, take a day trip over to Lundy Island on a steamer to explore the unique island renowned for its puffins. Keen walkers or cyclists can join up with the South West Coast Path from the headland to be rewarded with dramatic clifftop scenery and views out to sea.

Very nice flat in quite a run down building - so don't be put off. The location is outstanding. I stayed for a week without needing to use my car once. Parking is fine as long as you know how to manoeuvre. My Range Rover slotted in nicely.

Brilliant location close to the Hip No.8 and an excellent take away. Lovely sea views and great to have a parking space, was a bit tight but we managed with a 4 x 4. In our 70s we found the step down into the bathroom a bit tricky, especially at night when we were tired. A few things like the TV need updating but overall we had a lovely holiday.
