Property code: OC-OYSTEC

Well-appointed modern apartment, ideal for a romantic getaway, family seaside holiday or sociable trip with friends. Offering panoramic ocean views over the rugged North Devon coastline and Bristol Channel, this attractive holiday home is in the popular seaside town of Ilfracombe. This stretch of coastline is well-known for its dramatic cliff-top walks, and keen walkers will be delighted to explore the South West Coast Path. There’s plenty on offer here for foodies, too - Ilfracombe’s culinary reputation continues to thrive, with a variety of high-quality, independent restaurants, cafés and bars to try. Take a family day trip to Bicclescombe Park, just one mile from the property. Set in the valley, the park provides shelter from the elements. The Wilderbrook stream trickles through the gardens, feeding into the Duck Pond, Boat Lake, and the Mill Leat. Grab a racket to play a game of tennis, let the kids run wild in the adventure playground, enjoy a moment of calm in the sensory garden, or stop for refreshments in the tea rooms. Head to the pier and make memories on an unforgettable sea safari, where you can look out for seals, dolphins, and porpoises against the breathtaking beauty of the coastline. A short stroll (less than half a mile) from the apartment leads you to the historic harbour, where you can see Damien Hirst’s imposing bronze sculpture, Verity. Spectacular coastal walks, the golden beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton, plus the delights of Exmoor National Park are within 15 miles of the apartment.

There are eight steep steps leading to the main front door. To reach the apartment, take the internal stairs (20 steps) up to the first floor. Step inside to the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, a sociable space to spend time with your holiday companions. The focal point of the property is a generous floor-to-ceiling bay window, which provides the perfect spot to relax over a leisurely meal as you admire the wonderful ocean vistas. Watch out for boats passing by on trips to Lundy Island, as well as small fishing vessels on the way back to the harbour. You might even be lucky enough to see seals, porpoises, and oystercatchers. On one side of the living space, there is a modern, well-equipped kitchen area, with doors opening out onto the balcony. The lounge is fitted with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, ideal for movie nights. There is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a compact twin bedroom. Both bedrooms offer views across the town towards the Torrs. There is also a shower room, which is situated off the hallway.

The property benefits from a balcony, which can be accessed from the patio doors in the kitchen area of the open-plan living space. On the balcony, there is a small dining table with four chairs, ideal for al fresco dining.

Very clean and well equipped apartment in a good location, lovely sea view. We didnt have any noise at all from other apartments, which was a blessing but the central heating is slightly noisier than were used to. The apartment has everything you need and more. Great to be located very close to Ilfracombe Centre. We were really pleased with our Read morechoice. Hide

Delightful property, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and the most fabulous view. Location excellent right on the coastal path, and steps away from the harbour.

Fantastic coastal views from the lounge/dining area and easy access to the south west coast path from the front door. So well equipped, clean and comfortable. Some great local food to choose from, if you don't want to cook. Further afield, plenty to keep a family occupied and amazing North Devon sandy beaches a short drive away. Brilliant folder oRead moref activity ideas available in the property. A bonus to have an allocated parking space too. Highly recommend for a couple or small family. Hide
