Property code: OC-Q27784

This pretty cottage is perfect for families, couples and also dog friendly. Located on the Victorian harbour with a wealth of shops, pubs art galleries and fantastic fresh fish caught daily from the working harbour. Take a boat trip out and discover the stunning scenery and sea life this coast has or enjoy a coastal walk along the South West coastal path from your doorstep. Ilfracombe offers visitors a range of activities including the fascinating Tunnels beaches, a unique secluded cove carved out of the cliffs with tidal bathing pools. Woolacombe (4 miles) offers 3 miles of golden sands and is ranked 4th place in Europe for surfing. It's also popular with swimmers and paddle boarders, with a plethora of shops, cafes and restaurants.

This former 1700,s Fisherman’s cottage has been decorated in a traditional style to compliment its original features. Mizpah is a traditional fisherman’s cottage, and as such has narrow cottage stairs, making it unsuitable for the elderly or infirm. Set over 3 floors this unique cottage has low beams and two sets of stairs, enter on the ground floor and into the quirky kitchen that has everything you need to whip up some of those favourite recipes, with comfortable seating this is a lovely social area. Taking the stairs to the first floor there is a cosy lounge where you can relax on the comfy sofas after a busy day of exploring with views across to the harbour and catch up on a box set on the Smart TV. Completing this floor is the family bathroom with a shower- over the bath and WC. On the top floor are 2 bedrooms with a king size bed and views across to the harbour and a twin room with two 2.6ft beds.

The cottage is set into the cliffs, and so has no rear garden but rather offers a small outside seating area to the front.

Parking is sometimes available on the street, or in the conveniently located public car park just steps from the cottage, Ropery Car Park

Lovely little cottage in ilfracombe, location was brilliant and right in the centre, close to all amenities. The cottage was very clean and the decor was lovely. It had nice little extra touches eg tea/coffee. Equipment was everything we needed. We did have an issue with parking outside on the road and had to pay additional to park in a car park Read morebut other than that would highly recommend to friends and family. A lovely holiday home.

We booked for a week at Christmas, arriving Christmas eve at around 4.30pm. Sadly disappointed and left after 3 days. Management company unavailable. The positives: Great location, easy access, comfy bed, nice neighbours, easy parking outside (winter). Responsive owner. Sadly needs some renovation and remedial works. Very clever photography of Read morethe house. Bedroom very damp to the point of needing to run a dehumidifier constantly, so if you have any respiratory problems or just want a warm dry room to sleep in, this isn't the place for you. kitchen sadly lacking, not least a frozen fridge which took a good while to defrost and clean. Poorly equipped, not even a baking tray. Furniture very uncomfortable (old futon, plank style, upright, not even armrests that you could put cushions on as a sofa) so no cosy sofas as in description and two small upvc bucket chairs, good for children! We have been compensated via the complaints procedure ( half our money back) but feel its important that it is known that the property is currently under par but with a little more investment could be a great little find in Ilfracombe. We wish the owners well. Hide
