Venture a little further afield and you’ll find a selection of attractions including National Trust’s Arlington Court, Watermouth Castle and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.

The ground floor of this stunning house is open-plan and full of coastal charm. The kitchen area features contemporary units, a tiled floor and a distinctly nautical theme. Here you will find an electric double oven and hob, fridge/freezer, wine chiller, microwave and dishwasher, while a separate utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Also on this floor is a shower room with WC. Dine at the large table or enjoy a morning coffee in the seating area beyond, where there is also a TV/DVD. Head upstairs and you’ll find the spacious lounge, which has pretty harbour views through original sash windows.

On the second floor are the three remaining bedrooms, one double with sea views, one twin with sea views and one single with an additional pull-out bed, all of which have been decorated in a similar charming coastal theme.

We had a fantastic stay at Sea Foam House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing break in Ilfracombe. The house is in an absolutely brilliant location, right on the harbour, with stunning views from the property and terrace. Being so central meant that the restaurants, cafes, shops and harbour were all witRead morehin easy walking distance, which made exploring Ilfracombe really easy. The house itself was beautifully presented, extremely clean and very well equipped. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the layout worked really well for a family/group stay. The bedrooms were comfortable and the living areas were ideal for relaxing after a day out. The harbour views were definitely one of the highlights. Sitting outside with a drink and watching the boats and the activity around the harbour was a great way to spend an evening. 5 stars a fantastic property in a beautiful location. Hide

Fantastic cottage and location. Wonderful to be able to use my stand up paddle board a couple of meters from the door to explore the harbour and coast.

Exceptionally high standard of property and felt at home straight away. Has everything you could wish for and more, we will definitely be back again. The location is very central and the view out over the harbour is amazing. The property is very peaceful and private and we had a great nights sleep every night with no issues with noise. IlfracoRead morembe itself gives you everything you need for a seaside holiday and has more than enough restaurants and cafes to go to a different one every day. Thank you for a great stay Hide

Stayed here over Easter with extended family - had lovely time. Great house, modern, comfortable, very clean, ample room for our party. Loved open kitchen area where we had Easter Sunday lunch. Great location in the heart of Ifracombe, pretty views from the front of the house and we were very fortunate with good weather. Kids loved their time in thRead moree quay when the tide was out and we were able to watch from the patio area. No parking at the house, which worked OK for us as we didnt need the car during the week. We parked in the Hillsborough car park about 15 mins walk from house which was less than half the price of the closest car park to the cottage. We took the local bus to Woolacombe one day for a beach day and lunch, which was incredibly easy and stress-free. Highly recommend Sea Foam Cottagewe absolutely loved it there and would come back in a heartbeat! Hide
