This picturesque seaside property is ideally located in the resort of Ilfracombe and sits nestled amongst neighbouring houses which overlook the harbour. Conveniently, the harbour is less than 150 steps from the front door so, whatever time of day, you are able to walk your two dogs who are very much welcomed to the property. The beach, restaurant and shops are also right on your doorstep, so you can truly make the most of what the seaside town of Ilfracombe has to offer.

 This three-story property combines traditional features with contemporary décor to create a warm and homely atmosphere. The ground floor is fully accessible for your dog to enjoy and they are sure to feel very at home as soon as they arrive. Entering the property, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming kitchen/diner and a cosy living room with an original fireplace that your dog will just love to lie in front of on those extra chilly days. On the first floor, you’ll find a spacious king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a bath, shower and WC. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, you’ll discover a twin room for the older kids and a bunk bedroom for youngsters. Outside, you have your very own small rooftop balcony with seating to overlook those exquisite harbour views at sunset.

This property is situated right in the heart of Ilfracombe, so it’s completely your decision as to whether you wish to explore locally or travel a little further afield.

We loved the location, being able to walk out of the property and be on the quayside next to the harbour was amazing. We went off peak, beginning of July, and were able to park in The Cove cark park throughout. A parking pass offered best values for the week. The cottage was well equipped - although no dishwasher- clean and well presented. We had aRead more great stay. Hide

Beautifully situated cottage only a few steps from the harbour. Comfortable and well equipped. Ilfracombe has a good range of shops and plenty to do for all generations.

A very comfortable place to stay in a prime location for visiting Ilfracombe. The long stay parking is a bit ot a trek to get to but very easy access from the short stay parking for offloading bags etc. I would chosse this place again if I was visiting that area as it is right in the middle of the harbour area, excellent.

Great three storey cottage down a small lane right next to harbour. Treats and blanket left for doggy visitors. If visiting Ilfracombe again I wouldnt gamble on another cottage if this was available.
