Ilfracombe Cottages
Wedged between Exmoor National Park and sensational surfing
beaches, this attractive Victorian resort offers a stylish seaside
escape and our Ilfracombe holiday cottages are the perfect place to
stay.
Elegant villas and whitewashed cottages hug the old, natural
harbour, home to a small fishing fleet and variety of pleasure
craft - it's a lovely spot to linger or hop on a trip to Lundy
Island. Potter along Ilfracombe's twisting streets (famous for
floral displays) and experience an almost continental atmosphere,
with pavement cafés, top class eateries and trendy bars.
Attractions include an aquarium, museum, a haunted manor and a
chocolate emporium filled with lip-smacking treats, while events
range from beer festivals to Victorian Week when the whole town
buzzes as it steps back to the past.
Expect sublime coastal scenery on the doorstep of your
Ilfracombe cottage. Don't miss the extraordinary Tunnels
Beaches, a labyrinth of hand-carved tunnels leading to
award-winning sands and a Victorian bathing pool. Take a walk
through Hillsborough Nature Reserve or around to Hele Bay, where
you'll find an idyllic sandy cove.
