About this property
10 Cove View is a beautiful, coastal apartment that looks out across Capstone, towards the Landmark Theatre with lovely views of the sea, positioned in the North Devon town of Ilfracombe. Perfectly positioned for strolling into the town centre, it is the ideal base for a family holiday or two couples looking to get away, offering two allocated parking spaces slightly down the hill, a rarity for properties of this size in Ilfracombe. Step into a roomy hallway that leads into entering the bright and stylish living room. Californian shutters and crisp white walls reflecting the East- West sunlight that pours through the floor to ceiling windows and patio doors. Step out onto the balcony and drink in the superb views as you sip a replenishing drink and enjoy the magnificent sunsets drifting across the sky. Move through to the dining area from the living room and tuck into a delicious meal cooked up in the kitchen, catching up on the day you've just had and making plans for further adventures during your stay. From the kitchen are patio doors to another small balcony, which offers views towards Hillsborough, the coastal path and the bustling harbour. Follow the stairs down to the lower ground floor bedrooms and find a twin with zip/link beds and patio doors out to an enclosed courtyard garden, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee with a good book. There is also a lovely king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom, where you can indulge a hot soak in the deep bathtub, on return from a long walk on the coastal path. You are very close to all the town has to offer, including shops, restaurants, Damien Hirst's statue Verity and the Ilfracombe Observatory. Just a short walk from the little beach in the harbour and the historic Tunnels Beaches. For surfers and those who are seeking the large expanses of sands that this coast is famous for, Woolacombe and Croyde are both within easy reach. With Exmoor National park also on the doorstep, what more could you ask for?
The seaside town of Ilfracombe lies on a beautiful stretch of North Devon coastline, with five beaches, much of it owned by the National Trust. With its heritage harbour and close proximity to Exmoor National Park, this is the ideal base for a holiday. Take a wildlife cruise, a fishing trip or a boat trip to Lundy Island, enjoy an abundance of walking trails and find spectacular scenery at every turn.

It was spotless and the furnishings were immaculate. The bedrooms were particularly good and the embroidered towels were a very nice touch. The bed linen is high quality. I have stayed in 4 star hotels that have not been as nice. All of the facilities are top tier as well. Kitchen is very well equipped. The lounge is lovely and comfortable too. My only minor criticism is that the bedrooms and bathrooms were cold. We were there in mid-September and it would have been nice to have the temperature a little higher. The heating seems to be set to turn itself off at night and also during the day. Could have done with keeping the temperature downstairs higher at night time. I didn't do anything with the boiler as there were instructions not to touch it Had we been there in the height of a hot summer the cooler lower floor would be a blessing. The car parking is a short walk from the apartment with pretty steep hill. My mobility isn't great but I managed it. The area is very hilly in general along that stretch of coast which means the views are amazing. As a place to stay I would certainly recommend 10 Cove View as the great place to stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we returned to Ilfracombe.

The lounge, dining and kitchen areas are lovely - light, bright, very clean and with everything you could possibly need. The two bedrooms and bathrooms are at basement level, so a little darker and slightly chilly. Everything is immaculate. With the larger bathroom, the pop up plug wasn't working, so if you ran a bath, the water would just run away. The heated mirror over the sink wasn't working, and the pop up plug in the sink didn't work properly either. We reported this to the housekeeping service, who suggested we have a go at fixing it with a screwdriver. As my husband couldn't use the bath, he had a shower, and found that the temperature control knob was extremely loose, almost coming off in his hand. With the smaller bathroom, we also had problems with the pop up plug. 10 Cove View is a really lovely property, it just needs a quick visit from a plumber and it would be perfect.
