It is the ideal location for a quiet and restful holiday for a family, couples or a group of friends, just a short drive from local attractions and beaches.

Ilfracombe Museum, Wildersmouth Beach and Tunnels Beach are all less than 1 mile away, and Lee Beach is 4 miles. Otherwise, visit Chambercombe Manor (1 mile) - one of Britain's most haunted houses! Further afield are Exmoor National Park (11 miles) and Lynton and Lynmouth, both 20 miles away.

This is a distinctive terraced cottage, elegantly furnished with great attention to detail. Nine steps lead up to the front patio and main entrance.

Loved the location, being able to look down to the harbour while having our breakfast. We walked everywhere, local eating places were excellent, fresh fish straight off the boat! Lovely cottage to come back to after a day out in the fresh air, beds really comfy too

The property was well equipped and more than comfortable. Convenient location for shops, eateries and harbour. Parking nearby and permit issued by the owners - this allows you to park at other car parks which are on a list in the cottage. We had 4 adults in the property with ease. A very enjoyable stay.

We ate at Gionvanni and Lucas Italian restaurant, Dolphin Fish and Chips and the Thatched Inn Read moreand all were lovely. Ella enjoyed lots of ice creams. We visited Bude, Croyde Bay, Woolacombe, Barnstaple and Bideford. The Big Sheep is a great family attraction. Thank you for the Welcome basket and lovely card they are very much appreciated.
