Set the outside world on pause during a relaxing holiday at this delightful mews-style townhouse overlooking the Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe. Within easy reach of Exmoor National Park and the South West Coast Path, the dog-friendly townhouse offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, spacious bedrooms and sits within 300 metres of the town’s popular beach.
This beautiful three-storey property stands on one of the many streets that feed towards Ilframcombe’s bustling promenade. Its deceptively large interior has a fresh and contemporary feel thanks to characterful soft furnishings and absorbing colour palettes. The snug area on the ground floor is an ideal place for guests on two and four paws to grab some quiet time and it sits across from a handy utility room. Gather together in the comfort of the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to create and enjoy indulgent meals before and after a day spent exploring the coast, catching an evening film or relaxing and enjoying the sea views beyond. After a day well spent, head up to the second floor where there are three bedrooms to choose from - a king-size bedroom with a Juliet balcony, a double bedroom and a bunkroom - all of which are served by a plush family bathroom. The enviable views from the king-size bedroom and the balcony off the lounge compensate for the lack of any substantial outside space at the townhouse.
The area surrounding the cottage includes some of North Devon’s most popular coastal attractions. The South West Coast Path (300 metres) runs close to Ilfracombe’s bustling town centre and beach, while Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands (within 10 miles) are all surfing hotspots. For a longer day out, Exmoor National Park (3.5 miles) offers a rugged coastline and breathtaking landscapes ripe for exploration on foot or by pedal power.
