The gastronomic capital of North Devon and home to a vibrant creative scene, Ilfracombe makes a great base for a break with friends or family. Just moments from the stunning Tunnels Beaches wedding venue, and within 300 metres of Wildersmouth Beach and the adjacent Landmark Theatre and Café, this second-floor apartment puts you at the heart of the holiday fun. Stock up on self-catering supplies along the High Street; a little further on, Damien Hirst’s Verity statue overlooks the historic harbour – take a boat trip to Lundy Island and you could see dolphins and puffins en-route. For those who like a sporting challenge, Ilfracombe Golf Club has a spectacular cliff-top course, while the South West Coast Path promises memorable walks to other must-see locations, including Woolacombe (8 miles). Drive in the opposite direction and the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (19 miles) are linked by a spectacular cliff railway.
A contemporary space for family or friends and a couple of canine companions, this second-floor apartment, accessed via stairs is one of an exclusive collection of holiday homes created from the remains of a once-prominent Ilfracombe hotel. The Victorian façade remains, but inside you will find understated Scandi styling and all the creature comforts of home. Catch up on together-time in the open-plan social space – there is plenty of room to prepare and enjoy self-catered meals, and a Smart TV provides entertainment as you wind down at the end of each day. When it is time to retire for the night, two bedrooms offer sanctuary for any party of four – choose between a double and a twin – and are complemented by a contemporary shower room.
There is no garden here, but the seafront promenade is within 300 metres of the property and, just a little further from your doorstep, The Torrs Park – originally designed for Victorian recreation – is perfect for fresh-air walks.
