About this property

This stylish and unique apartment sits within the heart of Ilfracombe, just a moment’s stroll from the harbour and Wilder Cove. Affording sea views and central location in this seaside town, Blue Skies provides an excellent holiday base for two couples or a family. Leave the car in the nearby public car park and head into the building and up to the first floor. The open-plan living space rests at the end of the hall and has been stylishly furnished throughout, featuring a chesterfield sofa and two armchairs where you can relax after a day of exploring. Behind this appealing living area lies a well-appointed kitchen where you can rustle up a tasty dish to be enjoyed at the dining table. As the evening draws to a close, watch the sunset from the bay window as you sip on a glass of wine. Start your nightly routine in the family bathroom, before retreating to either of the bedrooms to catch some shut-eye; there is a double and a twin room with en-suite shower. Just a few steps away lies a popular Italian Restaurant, Giovanni and Luca's Italian, perfect for when you want a night away from home-cooking. Pick up essentials at the convenience store, delve into history at the Ilfracombe Museum, enjoy some water sports at the new water sports centre, meet the local marine life at The Ilfracombe Aquarium, enjoy gentle strolls along the harbour, catch a ferry over to Lundy Island, or spend a day on the beach: there really is lots to do in here! Hop in the car and take a short drive to Woolacombe Beach, voted the best beach in the UK, while Croyde Bay is slightly further afield, both are expansive and beautiful. The market town of Barnstaple hosts a variety of shops where you can purchase a gift to take home, as well as Barnstaple Pannier Market for a great selection of fresh produce. Head to Combe Martin Wildlife and the Dinosaur Park, sure to be appreciated by the little ones with a zoo and theme park to explore. Choose Blue Skies for the ultimate break to Devon, whatever time of year.

Some of the best walking country in England is located around Ilfracombe. You will find the scenery to be breathtaking, whether you choose a leisurely stroll along the promenade around Capstone Hill, confronting the rocky seaside route, or prefer the river valleys and peace of the moorland hills of Exmoor.

The distinctive towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, with their clifftop railway, are to the east of Ilfracombe, and Clovelly and Hartland are to the west.
