A great apartment very close to all Ilfracombe amenities and harbour. The view out to sea is fantastic with a rocky area just below the window. The apartment is spacious and very well equipped with a comfortable bed and good black out curtains.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oceans Embrace and liked it from the start, as it has a great location with beautiful views. During our stay, we experienced storms and wet weather, and we really appreciated the cozy and functional apartment.
