The stylish apartment enjoys fabulous sea views and is perfectly placed for exploring Ilfracombe’s paw-friendly shops and eateries. Sleeping four guests and two canine pals, the property makes a great couples’ retreat or base for a small family. Stroll out of your front door and onto Ilfracombe’s bustling harbour, where you can hop on a boat trip with the hounds or share fish and chips on the sea wall.
Two flights of stairs lead to the penthouse apartment. Leave your sandy shoes and dog leads in the hallway, before heading into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This bright, contemporary space has a Juliet balcony looking out to sea. Sink into the sumptuous sofa after a long dog walk to catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. Alternatively, read your book in the armchair, with the pups curled at your feet. Whip up a storm in the stylish kitchen area and enjoy home-cooked meals together around the dining table. Two bedrooms complete the property, along with a family bathroom. There is no outdoor space, but the property’s fantastic location means you can enjoy early-morning walks with the woofers around the pretty harbour.
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to places to walk with your four-pawed chums. Just outside the town centre, you’ll find Bicclescombe Park. This is a lovely spot for a morning dog walk amongst the floral displays or to share a picnic on the landscaped lawns. Alternatively, head down to the small harbour beach, where you can watch the boats coming and going as Rover and Fido chase a ball or dabble their paws in the water. The South West Coast Path passes through the town, and you can follow it to Mortehoe and onto the vast expanse of golden sand at Woolacombe (5 miles).
