Location
About the surrounding area of Ilfracombe ViewNorth 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!

Wonderful property.
Cannot think of anything that was not provided. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Thank you, Thank you!
-
The owners thought of everything
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, we had a lovely week and we all said that you've thought of everything, there was nothing we needed that we didn't find. especially in the kitchen. And we all enjoyed the hot tub, especially the boys! It was such a perfect location too with incredible sea views, we loved sitting outside and watching the amazing sunsets. Thanks again!

I would highly recommend
My husband, three children (21,18 & 12) and I stayed at the house for our summer holiday this year. The property was immaculate, spacious and had amazing views of the sea. We loved using the binoculars to look at the boats at sea. The terrace with the hot tub was great and, in the evening a good spot to watch the sunset. The terrace on the upper garden had a gorgeous view and was more secluded. We had several games of crochet on the upper terrace lawn. We requested a couple of fans on the first evening which was dealt with promptly. Note there are stairs to the property and it is at the top of a steep hill should you wish to walk into town. Plenty to do in the area - we visited the tunnels, sculpture park, Lynmouth, Verity in the town and Clovelly. I cannot fault this property.

Would definitely be booking again
Exceptionally clean property with excellent facilities, everything you could possibly want was there in the property. Excellent views of the sea and we had great fun using the hot tub. The only down side was the steep walk up to the property from the town but hence the excellent views.
-
The house was beautiful
Such a well equipped house. Everything you need and more. Clearly lots of thought spent by the owners, who were also so kind, and checked we had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. The views, the gardens, facilities, and sun sets were amazing. The walk into town might be a challenge for a young family. But not impossible. A great location for visiting the sites of Devon.
