Make yourselves at home in this penthouse apartment with sweeping ocean vistas, set in the heart of the Victorian fishing town of Ilfracombe in the unspoiled beauty of North Devon. This romantic coastal oasis is the perfect escape for a couple and their four-legged friend. Bound down the steep staircase and paddle in the idyllic waters of Rapparee Cove, before unwinding on your sunny balcony with a glass of fizz or a crisp bowl of tap water.
This one-bedroom property features a modern interior with clean lines and understated nautical touches. Dry soggy paws with a fluffy towel then pad into the light-flooded heart of the home with a breathtaking sea view. Potter in the sleek gloss kitchen and treat your four-pawed pal to a special supper then whip up an indulgent dinner for two. Pop a bottle then tuck into a celebratory feast at the dining table as the sun slips below the horizon. The nimble-fingered can test out the electric piano, or simply cuddle up on the sofa, crack open the chocolates, and settle in with a film. Retire to the peaceful bedroom with a double recliner bed, then treat yourselves to a leisurely breakfast of fresh coffee and warm pastries. Throw open the balcony door and let Fido sniff in the salty breeze or stargaze beneath the night sky on clear evenings.
Listen to the fishing boats clinking as you embark on an early morning amble along the harbourfront of Ilfracombe, within 400 metres, with plenty of intriguing ocean scents for your curious canine to snuffle. Scamper through the leafy pathways of Bicclescombe Park, less than 2 miles, where friendly hounds are sure to meet some new waggy-tailed amigos. To refuel, seek out the waterfront sandwich bar, 200 metres, rumoured to serve up sausages and meaty treats to their four-pawed patrons.
