On the edge of Ilfracombe town and boasting superb sea views over the Bristol Channel, this terraced house offers spacious accommodation that’s perfect for a group getaway to the North Devon coast. With large rooms and a sunny garden, there’s ample space to relax together after days out on the many sandy beaches nearby.

Inside, the accommodation is presented in a mix of period and modern furnishings. A large hallway with parquet flooring leads into the cosy living room with comfy seating. A separate dining room with large table seating eight is the ideal place for a family meal and to discuss the day’s activities. The small galley-style kitchen is fully equipped and has views over Ilfracombe. There is also a smaller snug with toys, which is perfect for children to have their own space. The four bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, with both double rooms having a seating area in the window – the perfect spot for enjoying an early morning coffee whilst taking in the lovely sea views. The bedrooms share two bathrooms, both found on the first floor, and a separate shower room on the second floor. Step outside to share family feasts in the rear garden, which has a small patio area with garden furniture. The sloping lawn is accessed via some steep steps.

Ilfracombe has plenty to please a crowd, including a wide range of pubs, restaurants and cafes – the town centre and harbour are around 0.5 miles away. Spend the day on Wildersmouth Beach (1 mile) or take the kids for a fun day out at Watermouth Castle (3 miles) or Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (6.5 miles). Well worth a visit, the beaches of Woolacombe Bay (7.5 miles) and the hills of Exmoor National Park (2 miles) both offer stunning scenery.

The views from the property were fantastic, with a brilliant set up by the bay windows. There were multiple snugs with televisions allowing family members to disappear - invaluable.

The house was spacious and comfortable but not suitable if you want to do very much cooking. It is ideal if you plan to eat out.

Lovely large immaculately clean house. Great position overlooking over the town with views of South Wales. Close to some lovely walks, dog friendly bays and beaches. The house was very well equipped and comfortable, and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. We contacted Cris the housekeeper with a minor issue and she was very helpful.

A lovely spacious house with all the amenities needed for a stress free holiday. Great sea views. Location is great for all local attractions and situated near further attractions on a short drive. Car parking is hit or miss but didnt cause too many issues for us. Will totally recommend this accommodation.

Fantastic cottage, well presented and well equipped for a family visit. We enjoyed the location within walking distance of the harbour, and the lovely (if strenuous) headland. Although street parking was busy we always managed to find a spot close by. We also loved the welcome pack which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.
