"Hollycombe in Ilfracombe is a delightful property."

It is well equipped with everything that you need and has extremely comfortable beds. The open plan downstairs really lends itself to a sociable cooking and dining experience. The courtyard garden is lovely to sit in of an evening as well. There is a dish washer and washing machine. A walk in wardrobe. I honestly could not fault this little house. Ilfracombe itself is well worth visiting it has a dramatic coastline including the coastal path where you can walk to delightful little bays such as Hele Bay where we enjoyed a picnic on top of a rock. Unfortunately, the Tunnels beaches were closed due to landslide so hope to go back to visit but there is a Landmark theatre and a museum. The harbour is beautiful with little shops and bistros/bars etc and of course the amazing Damien Hirst's Verity standing proud on a pile of law books, it fits in well looking out to see ( a bit statue of liberty-like. This was my first time to Ilfracombe and I was not disappointed . We walked up the hill to the Chapel and we could just about see Wales! At the end of the day, we enjoyed a cold beer looking over the sea/harbour at the Lime Kilm bar/bistro. We also enjoyed the Italian restaurant Giovanni and Luca where we had seafood pasta. We also bought fresh fish from the harbour and they gave us instructions how to cook it. I could go on and on. We were blessed with the weather and we visited Lundy Island from nearby Bideford although you can go from Ilfracombe depending on the tides. There are some lovely nearby spots to explore such as Lynmouth and Coombe Martin. I would definitely go back to Hollycombe. The house is amazing. The only negative would be that High Street looks a bit deprived but that did not spoil it for us. In fact the people were very friendly and we felt very welcome. Nice touch of the owner to leave us a Cream Tea and some milk for a cuppa. We will be back!!!
