The Croft sits on high ground looking out across Ilfracombe to the Atlantic. It is just a ten minute stroll to the town centre and harbour. This terraced property blends traditional features with modern luxuries to create a spacious home. An entrance hall with lots of coat hanging space has a parquet floor and leads into the roomy lounge with comfy seating around a gas fire. There is a separate dining room with a table for eight and a fully equipped galley kitchen with views out over town. Also on the ground floor is a snug with TV, toys and a door to garden. There are two more living rooms with accommodation laid out over three floors. Two double rooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the top floor share two bathrooms on the first floor. All bedrooms also have attractive fireplaces. There is also a writing desk and chair on the second-floor landing. The garden has a patio area with garden furniture for al fresco dining. Ilfracombe has a delightful mix of Victorian and Regency architecture, pretty harbour, independent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The harbour, with Damien Hirst’s infamous bronze statue Verity, and the Tunnels Beaches, are well worth a visit along with the award-winning Ilfracombe Aquarium, fascinating Ilfracombe Museum, Larkstone Leisure Park, Hele Cornmill and Chambercombe Manor - one of Britain's most haunted houses. A short drive takes you to Exmoor National Park, which has Europe’s very first International Dark Sky Reserve, the tallest tree in England, the highest cliffs in England, almost 250 species of bird and over 1,000 different flowering plants and grasses

Fantastic cottage, well presented and well equipped for a family visit. We enjoyed the location within walking distance of the harbour, and the lovely (if strenuous) headland. Although street parking was busy we always managed to find a spot close by. We also loved the welcome pack which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

Great cottage, lovely location, easy to park outside, perfect for a large family but please note the rooms at the top of the house can get quite cold.

A well presented and clean large house that we enjoyed staying in. Plenty of space to eat and relax in. A good location to walk down the hill to the harbour.

We enjoyed our stay in this well equipped house, which accommodated 7 people well. We thought the kitchen was tiny for such a large house and the parking situation was inadequate.

The Croft is a beautiful, well equipped holiday home just a ten minute walk from Ilfracombe Harbour. The house had everything we needed and there was more than enough space for our family (7 adults and our dog). The kitchen is quite small compared to the other rooms but it was very well equipped. Parking was a bit of a challenge as it's all on streRead moreet in the area and there are a lot of vehicles around. But we always manged to squeeze in somewhere. The very generous welcome gifts were much appreciated - tea, coffee, sugar, wine, fresh flowers, cake and biscuits! We had a fantastic family holiday in The Croft and would recommend it without hesitation. Hide
