  • Single-storey cottage with stylish open-plan living
  • Sit and relax in the luxurious hot tub after a day exploring

Property code: OC-60443

A bright and contemporary coastal cottage situated in a leafy location outside of Ilfracombe, this stylish bolthole is the perfect escape for sea-loving families or couples and a dog exploring the magnificent North Devon coastline. Feel the salty ocean spray as you amble along the bustling Ilfracombe promenade and sample the local crab sandwiches at the quirky eateries overlooking the seafront, before indulging in a restorative soak in your private hot tub.

This inviting abode exudes vibrant beach house charm with clean lines, rustic exposed wooden beams and soft neutral tones. Store sandy outdoor gear on the patio then step into the airy open-plan living space complete with a mounted surfboard art piece. Flop down onto the plush L-shaped sofa, set the mood with a playlist and then enjoy a pre-dinner nibble. The resident chef will be in their element whipping up a feast in the sleek shaker kitchen with a selection of locally sourced ingredients. Gather around the breakfast bar dining area in the ambient glow of the hanging lights and toast to your special occasion. Discover two well-presented bedrooms, each styled with oak furniture and soft furnishings, consisting of a king-size and a twin. Early risers can brew a fresh morning coffee, slide open the patio doors and enjoy an al fresco morning feast. Or, slip into the hot tub and stargaze beneath the twinkling night sky.

The North Devon coast is the perfect UK getaway, with miles of sweeping sandy shores, sparkling ocean, and inspired eateries. Explore the secluded bay at Lee, 8 miles, for rugged clifftops vistas and rock pooling fun, or venture to Ilfracombe, 8 miles, and gaze up at the striking bronze statue of Verity which dominates the shoreline. If you are feeling adventurous, dive in for a surf session at Woolacombe, 7 miles, before indulging in a fragrant Sri Lankan curry from the seafront shack at Barricane Beach.

The Milking Shed is set in a beautiful garden of a set of three cottages. The garden is absolutely beautiful and we had a hot tub which was fantastic. The house was spotlessly clean and everything was comfortable. It was fully equipped with everything we needed and was a great base for our holiday. There are great places to eat nearby and it's onlyRead more 5 miles from Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Lots of great places to visit nearby as well. Fantastic place to stay, we absolutely loved it.

We had a perfect mini break at the Milking Shed. Dan was very welcoming on our arrival and the accommodation was clean and comfortable and had everything that was needed for a home-away-from-home holiday.

The cottage was lovely and being detached was nice especially using the hot tub, it is quite a way out from Woolacombe but nice and secluded for peace and quiet. There was milk, eggs, tea bags and sugar which was nice on arrival and an extra thought was a small basket with a dog photo above it and inside a towel and a tin of treats for pets.

Perfect little spot for getting between beaches on the coast of North Devon. Great place for a small family to relax and recover for a day on the surf.

The property was wonderful and the family were really welcoming. The porperty was presented to a very high standard, all equipment, including the facilities in the kitchen enabled us to truley relax. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quite break near Woolacombe. Definitely will need a car as limited amenities close by but that exactly whatRead more we wanted. But was also well situated to access the wonderful beached close by. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday near the North Devon Coast. The cottage had everything we needed. The grounds were lovely and the swings and slide was very popular with our little girl. With beaches, places of interest and a well stocked Supermarket close by, the location was brilliant.
