This picturesque fisherman’s cottage sits in an incredible location in Ilfracombe overlooking the harbour, close to the RNLI station. It combines contemporary style with period features, creating an idyllic retreat for all the family and your dog. You may even find some doggy treats in your welcome pack.

Enjoy relaxing in the cosy lounge with its comfy huge corner sofa. There is a well-equipped kitchen with all you need for a perfect stay right on the coast. A charming spiral staircase leads to the first floor but mind your head on the ceiling. The two bathrooms enjoy lovely harbour views, so you can relax with a cup of tea in bed and watch the boats come in.

The harbour, beach, restaurants, shops and Landmark theatre are situated within 1 mile of the property, making it a perfect location for enjoying the many facilities the Victorian seaside town offers. Visit Damien Hirst’s famous Verity statue on the harbour – will you love her or hate her? Wildersmouth beach, half a mile from the property, is in a sheltered cove and welcomes dogs all year round. Further afield you have local attractions including the picturesque coastal village of Woolacombe (7 miles) which boast a 3-mile-long golden sand beach (some dog-friendly areas), pubs, restaurants and shops. Or check out the National Trust's Arlington Court (11 miles), where dogs are welcome in the grounds, gardens and carriage museum. Chambercombe Manor (2 miles) is a must-see as one of Britain’s most haunted houses and welcomes four-legged visitors on short leads in the gardens.

An absolute gem of a cottage ! Spotless and cosy with everything we needed .. a home from home. Location was superb for tumbling out of the cottage onto the harbour beach with the dogs. Fabulous views from the bedroom windows and excellent location for all the pubs/ restaurants / shops. Loved the bench outside the gate.. our favourite spot for a brRead moreew in the sun watching the world go by! We did not want to leave! Hide

Fantastic location. We had a good week, weather wise, so were out a lot. Might be a bit small if inside for long. We are elderly and had no problem with the stairs, although they are steep Lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds and huge bathrooms. Beware of the parking! 2 authorities issue tickets with different rules!! I got caught!!.
