Far-reaching views of Ilfracombe’s sea, town, and harbour await at this elevated apartment retreat. It’s a panorama best admired from the south-facing balcony, which leads off the apartment's living room and bedroom. While the interiors aren’t anything to write home about, it’s all well-cared for and would suit a fuss-free family getaway. The private parking will be handy for bucket-and-spade days along the South West Coast. Or keep things local – Ilfracombe’s historic Tunnels Beaches, quaint harbour, and bustling independent shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away.
