Set in a conservation area, this home is an ideal base for a family or group of friends excited to explore Devon. With a coastal theme throughout, you’ll know you’re by the sea before you’ve even left the house. The terrace is a particular highlight - enjoy a morning coffee as you pour over maps and guidebooks, or admire the view as the sun sets over Ilfracombe. Inside you’ll find everything you need to make your stay a success, from a wood burning stove to selection of games and books. There is also space in the garage to store surfboards - the legendary Devon coast is just minutes away - or bring your bike and cycle along the Tarka Trail. Tunnels Beaches, named for its access through a Victorian tunnel, is just minutes away and is a great place to breathe in the sea air or go for a dip. If you’ve worked up an appetite after all that, be sure to treat yourself in one of Ilfracombe’s eateries, with a range of options from fine dining to hearty pub grub.
