This welcoming, home-like property is designed for seaside living with expansive floor to ceiling windows, glass partitioned balconies and a decked terrace with bubbling hot tub where guests will enjoy the glorious North Devonshire coastline to its fullest.  Up to eight guests can escape to the seaside in this comfortable, thoughtfully designed home.

Perched on the hillside, allowing the perfect coastal aspect, Ilfracombe View holds a living space on the first floor to maximise the seaside vistas.  A large open plan living area with panoramic views, floor to ceiling windows and a roaring log-burner is a dream space for socialising, relaxing or just cosying up on the comfortable sofas with a good book.  A well-equipped kitchen has all you will need to host eight, with dishwasher, large fridge freezer and polished obsidian black worktops.  The open plan dining area with eight-seater table is ideally situated next to the patio doors allowing your guests to hop from indoor to al fresco dining with ease.

The outdoor decking area has numerous breakout seating areas to enjoy a cocktail while the sun sets or a family BBQ lunch in the coastal breeze.  Nothing quite beats slipping into a hot tub after a day in the bracing Devonshire sea, and Ilfracombe View does not disappoint with this perfectly placed luxurious hot tub, a dream spot to sip a glass of bubbles whilst gazing over the shimmering sea.  On the ground floor below the property benefits from a private enclosed garden, with lawn for little ones to run about in safety.

The well-appointed sleeping accommodation includes crisp bed linens, towels, Bluetooth mirrors and flat-screen TV’s.   With excellent views there are two spacious master bedrooms with super-king beds and en-suites, a third king-size bedroom and a twin room with a fixed single bed and trundle.  The family bathroom has a bath and walk-in shower with heated towel rails.

With Ilfracombe High Street just a short walk down the hill, this holiday home is perfectly placed for guests to access the soft, sandy beaches, bustling high-street and brightly coloured boats on the harbour.  The seaside awaits you and your guests, don’t forget the surf boards!

North Devon is a tourist hot spot for good reason with stunning beaches and a bustling coastal scene, just a short walk from your holiday home and you will be right in the centre of the action.  Pay a visit to the famous Tunnel beaches and enjoy a relaxing swim in the tidal pools.  Or try out a spot of surfing at some of the finest spots to enjoy the Atlantic swell.  Woollacombe beach is a short drive away, as is the vast sand dunes at Saunton Sands, both well worth a visit.

Soak up some local history by taking the short walk to Lantern Hill where you can visit St Nicholas Chapel, the oldest working lighthouse in the country, dating back to the Middle Ages.  Stop off for a Devonshire cream tree at Hele Cornmill, a 16th century working water mill just outside of the town.  Whilst those who are braver enough might dare to take a trip to Chambercombe Manor, set in a secluded valley, this Elizabethan manor has beautiful gardens, a Priest Hole and the infamous Haunted room, heralded as one of the most haunted places in Britain.

Ilfracombe has a number of excellent craft shop and gift places, we recommend stopping by at the Ilfracombe Chocolate Emporium to sample some hand-crafted delicacies and visit the little museum dedicated to all thing’s chocolate, where you can often spot the Chocolatier at work.  

A food lovers paradise, Ilfracombe has a fine selection of local treats from fresh seafood to Exmoor meats and unique local cheeses.  Head to the harbour to enjoy an evening meal at the relaxed and informal Take Thyme Fish restaurant, a must visit if you want to sample delicious locally caught lobsters.  Meanwhile the Terrace Tapas Bar is a wonderful evening spot to sample delicious small plates and select a cocktail or two from the extensive menu!
