Property code: OC-CROFIL

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.

A well presented and clean large house that we enjoyed staying in. Plenty of space to eat and relax in. A good location to walk down the hill to the harbour.

We enjoyed our stay in this well equipped house, which accommodated 7 people well. We thought the kitchen was tiny for such a large house and the parking situation was inadequate.

The Croft is a beautiful, well equipped holiday home just a ten minute walk from Ilfracombe Harbour. The house had everything we needed and there was more than enough space for our family (7 adults and our dog). The kitchen is quite small compared to the other rooms but it was very well equipped. Parking was a bit of a challenge as it's all on streRead moreet in the area and there are a lot of vehicles around. But we always manged to squeeze in somewhere. The very generous welcome gifts were much appreciated - tea, coffee, sugar, wine, fresh flowers, cake and biscuits! We had a fantastic family holiday in The Croft and would recommend it without hesitation. Hide
