About this property
Located on Tranquillity Park in the coastal town of Woolacombe, Devon, is this single-storey chalet, Waves. Enjoying sea glimpses, a short car journey away from the beach and local amenities, whilst benefitting from an open-plan living layout, contemporary fixtures, and a rear garden, suitable for alfresco dining, the chalet welcomes four guests, ideal for both coastal and countryside itineraries. Spend your time in the heart of the home, where you can rustle up some delicious meals, dine, unwind, and consider your forthcoming plans. Head outside to truly appreciate your surroundings, both still and picturesque, before venturing down to the centre of Woolacombe. On your return, retire to one of two bedrooms, both well-presented and providing enough storage to home your belongings. The chalet is complete with a sleek bathroom, boasting stylish features, including black fixtures and a toasty towel rail. Once you're refreshed, head out for some brunch at Shepherds Hut Cafe, enjoy an evening meal overlooking the shore at Watersmeet Hotel & Restaurant, or perhaps share a bowl of chips whilst taking in the sea air at The Beachcomber Cafe. You'll be spoilt for choice when planning your daily adventures, with the chance to visit the resident stretch of beach, Woolican Bay bowling alley, Funder Island, a fun-filled amusement park, and Baggy Point, a stunning vantage point, accessible via a coastal walking trail. Ilfracombe is nearby, where you can tour the grand structure of Watermouth Castle, climb the rocky terrain up to Ilfracombe viewpoint, or maybe head to The Ilfracombe Aquarium to engage with diverse marine life species.
