Captain’s View is a ground floor, contemporary apartment for two with lovely views over Ilfracombe and the sea beyond. The spacious lounge/kitchen/diner has floor to ceiling windows making the most of the view – which includes Damien Hirst’s famous statue Verity. This attractive room is beautifully furnished and has a couple of comfortable settees to sit and relax on after an exhilarating day out. The modern kitchen is light and airy with wood flooring and plenty of storage space. A foldaway table and dining chairs are provided which can be moved to the windows for a “meal with a view”.  A door leads off the living room to the bedroom with king size bed and large floor to ceiling windows.  Finally a modern bathroom completes the accommodation with laminate flooring and fitted shower over the bath. Outside, there are undesignated parking spaces in front of the property with additional parking on the roadside. Captain’s View is a couple of minutes away from the centre of Ilfracombe where you can enjoy the delightful Victorian and Regency architecture and browse the town’s many independent shops. If you’re after an energetic experience and keen to explore the coast, then why not do it aboard a 10m RIB travelling at 20 knots? Ilfracombe Sea Safari departs daily between April and October, taking passengers on an exhilarating and fascinating journey up along the coast. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot seals, porpoises and even dolphins. For adventures of a less heart-pounding nature, visit the famous Tunnels Beaches a few minutes’ drive from  the property or wander around the harbour where, rising high above the pier is ‘Verity’, a huge sculpture of stainless steel and bronze created by Damien Hirst. The pier is where you will also find the Aquarium with its fascinating array of sea creatures.

Nice cosy apartment. Fantastic views of the sea, the harbour and Hillsborough which we did climb. As long as you are fit, comfortable walking distance to the town and harbour.

This is a comfortable apartment with lots of equipment. The owner adds some lovely touches - a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits plus some beautiful fresh flowers. Location is good - quiet area but, it is at the top of the hill and a 10 minute walk to the centre - going down is easy, coming back is more of a challenge. Plenty of restaRead moreurants, bars, pubs and eateries in the town. Overall, a very pleasant place to stay. Hide
