Property code: OC-CAPVI

The ideal coastal bolthole for couples, this ground-floor apartment affords stunning views across Ilfracombe Harbour towards Wales. With the bustling town centre and harbour within a mile, you’ll have a range of eateries on your doorstep, including some high-end options as the town has become something of a foodies’ haven in recent years. Keen walkers can take to the South West Coast Path and head in either direction, with an abundance of flora and fauna to spot. Or perhaps you’d prefer to find a quiet spot on one of the many beaches nearby, including popular Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton (within 9 miles) or the lesser known Broadsands (3.5 miles).

Light tones, high ceilings and large windows ensure this property feels bright and airy throughout. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides more than enough space for two people to relax in comfort. You can cook up some treats in the well-equipped kitchen and dine at the table whilst soaking up the stunning views, before settling into the comfortable sofas for the evening to watch TV. When it’s time for bed, head into the king-size bedroom with its timeless pine furniture and large bay window and snuggle down for a good night’s sleep. There is also a well-presented modern bathroom with a shower over the bath. Should you get caught in a downpour or have sand-covered beach towels, there’s a washer/dryer in the hall for your convenience.

Although there is no private outside space with the apartment, Ilfracombe has plenty of public spaces, including parks, beaches, cliff-top walks and the harbour, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air or enjoy a picnic or fish and chips.

Nice cosy apartment. Fantastic views of the sea, the harbour and Hillsborough which we did climb. As long as you are fit, comfortable walking distance to the town and harbour.

This is a comfortable apartment with lots of equipment. The owner adds some lovely touches - a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits plus some beautiful fresh flowers. Location is good - quiet area but, it is at the top of the hill and a 10 minute walk to the centre - going down is easy, coming back is more of a challenge. Plenty of restaRead moreurants, bars, pubs and eateries in the town. Overall, a very pleasant place to stay. Hide

Lovely property with great facilities, including a washing machine and bath which were a godsend after walking long stretches of the spectacular Coast Path close by - plenty of long soaks to ease the aching muscles and a washer for fresh clothes daily - perfect!
