Among the pastel-coloured houses of Ilfracombe, close to the picturesque harbour and dramatic clifftop scenery, this stylish home offers the ultimate seaside retreat in Devon. From a spiral staircase to carved fireplaces and spectacular stained glass, this home is a treasure trove of original features, with something new to discover on each of its three levels. When you're not at the beach, the town has plenty to offer, from art galleries to beautiful 14th-century chapels on your doorstep. Spend the day browsing the array of independent shops, or learning about local history at the Ilfracombe Museum. In the evenings, enjoy a home-cooked meal followed by a few games of pool. Pour yourself a glass of wine and get cosy around the roaring fire, or head up to the balcony to watch the sun set over the coastline.

Peace of mind guaranteed with every booking.

We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.

Local guide


About Devon

With its vibrant cities, wild moors and picture-perfect beaches – we can see why so many poets and writers, such as Ted Hughes, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, have been inspired by its stunning landscapes. Chic waterside towns such as Salcombe and Dartmouth appeal to yachties, while Totnes attracts a more alternative crowd. Or head to Exeter with its cathedral and riverside bars and restaurants on the picturesque quay....
