2 Bedroom Apartment in Ilfracombe

Long-known as the gastronomic capital of North Devon, Ilfracombe now has an equally good reputation for its vibrant creative and cultural scene. This second-floor apartment sits in the heart of town, just moments from Tunnels Beaches and within 300 metres of Wildersmouth Beach and the adjacent Landmark Theatre and Cafe. Just a little further on, Damien Hirst’s statue, Verity, overlooks the bustling harbour; join a boat trip from here to Lundy Island, and you might spot dolphins and puffins. Ilfracombe Golf Club has a spectacular cliff-top course where it's said you can see the sea from every tee, while the South West Coast Path offers dramatic routes to other must-see destinations, including Woolacombe (8 miles). Just 3 miles in the opposite direction, Watermouth Castle delivers a family day out. Beyond, the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (19 miles) sit on the edge of Exmoor, linked by a spectacular cliff railway.


A chic, companionable space designed for relaxed coastal stays, this second-floor apartment accessed via stairs, is one of an exclusive collection of holiday homes created by the skilful re-imagining of a once-prominent Ilfracombe hotel. The Victorian facade remains, but inside you’re greeted by all the modern must-haves and cool Scandi styling. The open-plan social space offers somewhere to cook, dine, and unwind in comfort; the whole space is flooded with natural light, and there’s a Smart TV for home-style entertainment. As the end of each day approaches, two bedrooms offer sanctuary for any party of four – choose between a double and a twin – and are complemented by a contemporary shower room.


There’s no garden here, but the seafront promenade is within 300 metres and, just a little further from your doorstep, The Torrs Park – originally designed for Victorian recreation – is perfect for fresh-air walks. On-street parking is subject to availability, and there’s a public car park 300 metres away.
