This property enjoys a wonderful seafront location in the harbour town of Ilfracombe. The town has plenty to offer holidaymakers, so much so that some may prefer to leave their car parked up and spend the days wandering the towns streets, browsing the shops, sampling the local seafood, relaxing at the beach, perhaps taking a boat trip from the town’s harbour, or paying a visit to the interesting aquarium. For those who want to explore a bit further afield, the surrounding area is rich in attractions and places of interest including Lynton and Lynmouth, Heddons Mouth, and the spectacular beaches at Saunton Sands and Croyde.

This apartment is set right on the cliff edge, and is approached by an internal carpeted flight of stairs which takes guests to the lower-ground-floor accommodation. This being a studio apartment, guests will find everything they need contained cleverly in one living space, which is dominated by the spectacular views out to sea. In one corner of the room, the kitchen area is well-equipped with an oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. The lounge area is at the heart of the space and has a folding dining table with chairs, a comfortable sofa, Sky Q TV, and WIFI.   It provides the perfect space to enjoy the views across the patio garden to the sea through the patio door. The double bed folds down at night from the lounge wall, meaning it can be stowed conveniently out of the way during the day. The property has a contemporary shower room with a WC.

Outside, nestled on the cliff face there is a fantastic patio garden to the rear of the property where care must be taken, a pretty shingled space with attractive plants and a table and chairs from which to enjoy the uninterrupted views of the sea.   Deck Chairs are available in the apartment.  The end boundary of the garden is the sea wall, where there are spectacular views but care should be taken in this area.

  • Open plan studio living space with pull-out double bed
  • Shower room with shower and WC
  • Sky Q TV and iPod dock
  • Oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washing machine
  • Electric and heating included
  • Travel cot and highchair available
  • Parking pass provided for local car park for 1 car (car registration to be provided at time of booking)
  • Pubs, shops, and beach within walking distance
  • The property is nestled on the cliff face and whilst there is a wall enclosing the patio, care must be taken
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 14:30 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £150 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £20. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

This holiday flat is amazing. It has all you need, an amazingly comfy bed, fantastic shower and a view that waking up to is just what holidays are about. Ideally located to explore coastal towns nearby, but with enough coastal exploration on the door step you don't need to drive out every day. Some amazing pubs, would highly recommend the Hip greatRead more food, reasonable prices and the staff are just lovely. Hide

This little hideaway is just perfect. Amazing views and great secure garden for little dogs (if you have bouncy or large dogs, all garden visits should be supervised, the wall at the end has a literal drop to rocks and sand/sea). Perfectly located for exploring the wider area with much to see within a 30 minute radius. Close enough to walk to localRead more harbour, beach and town so once parked up you can fully relax without having to leave Ilfracombe. Hide

Beautiful apartment, with patio overlooking the sea, modern kitchen and furniture, large high quality TV inc SKY, perfect location for getting around the town. No parking at apartment, but plenty of parking in the town only short distance away. 2 PodPoint chargers in Ropery Rd car park (800 meters) for my EV - very slow (~5Kwh) but OK if charge oveRead morernight. Only minor minus-point is the fold-out bed is quite small and not very comfortable - but I'm 6' & 100Kg so might be OK for smaller person(s). Hide
