THE LOCAL AREA
The seaside town of Ilfracombe is situated on the dramatic North Devon coastline, and has been a popular family holiday destination for centuries. At the heart of Ilfracombe is a picturesque fishing harbour, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs and stunning coastal scenery. With a varied selection of art galleries, shops, cafes, and an array of award winning beaches close by it couldn't be a more perfect location for a seaside getaway.
We're ideally located a short 10 minute drive Woolcombe, which boasts an award-winning golden sandy beach. Lee Bay is another family favourite, with plenty of rock pools, coves and a sandy beach at low tide to explore.
