The property

Close to Shore, a pleasing first-floor apartment nestled in the town of Ilfracombe, in Devon.

Suited to families or friends, this pet-friendly abode offers breath-taking sea vistas from the balcony, a open-plan living space and is near the beach and Exmoor National Park.

Ascend the stairs and unlock the door to your coastal retreat.

Upon entering, you will be met with a bright and homely open-plan space featuring a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area.

The chef in the kitchen can make themselves at home, store any treats in the fridge for your stay, and whip up a delicious meal via the electric oven and hob.

When dinner is ready, pull out a chair in the dining area, and why not select your favourite album to set the ambience for your meal?

After plates are cleared, pop them in the dishwasher and pick a sofa or armchair to sink into, as you decide on a movie for the night.

This space is enhanced by the nautical furnishings and patio doors leading out to the balcony, which provides a stunning backdrop to your stay.

Crack out a cold one, and unwind on the balcony with your loved ones as the sun sets and ponder over the adventures to come.

When the stars appear overhead, freshen up in the shower room, then choose between two neatly furnished bedrooms to rest and rejuvenate.

The twin room boasts coastal artwork adorning the walls, ideal for children or friends sharing.

Whilst the king-size room offers views out to the balcony and uninterrupted views of the sea.

In the morning, utilise the coffee maker to fuel you for the day ahead and gaze out at the sea as you prepare for the day.

This abode is a short stroll to various amenities, including a pub and the sandy shores of a beach.

Take a trip to Ilfracombe Harbour, snap a picture of the grand statue standing near the coast, tuck into some fish and chips, indulge in an ice cream or try some award-winning fudge, as you admire the boats bopping along in the distance.

For a family day out that appeals to all, visit Watermouth Castle, a Victorian castle with theme park rides and a play area for kids and landscaped gardens to inspire your green thumb.

Lace up your hiking boots to explore Exmoor National Park, with moorland, woodland, farmland, and valleys to uncover, this national park offers stunning scenery for hikers, full of wildlife such as ponies, and charming pubs along the way to fuel you.

Close to Shore, a delightful base overlooking the sea in Devon.
