Location

Tucked away on the North Devon Coast, Ilfracombe with it's picturesque harbour and dramatic coastline, has been the perfect holiday haven since the victorian era.

We are a 10 minutes walk from the famous Tunnel Beaches with it's natural bathing pool, fascinating geology and superb rockpools all accessed via tunnels hand carved in the 1820's.

Ilfracombe has retained it's victorian charm and has not suffered the re-development seen in so many coastal resorts.

The Harbour

Ilfracombe is the largest harbour on the North Devon coast. It has been in existence as a port for several centuries, and is today an ideal centre from which to explore the many attractions that North Devon has to offer, along with being at a strategic location to reach destinations such as Lundy Island, and other harbours along the North Cornwall and Bristol Channel coasts.

The Landmark

The Landmark Theatre is an award winning venue that hosts a fascinating programme of music and theatres throughout the summer.

Surfing at Woolacombe

Well known as a surfing destination and famous for its long breaking waves, the beach is ideal both for beginners and experienced boarders. Woolacombe and the surrounding area host a number of local, national and European surfing events every year, adding to its long-held reputation for surf excellence.

Ilfracombe Golf Course

The course is situated 1 mile east of Ilfracombe towards Combe Martin on the magnificent North Devon coastline and offers spectacular views along the coast and across the Bristol Channel to South Wales. The 18 hole course is well maintained throughout the year and although not the longest, the undulations and prevailing South Westerlys will still offer up a challenge to golfers of all abilities. Whilst visiting why not treat yourself to a buggy from the Pro Shop and ride around in Style.

Great Beaches

North Devon has a charm all of its own, with miles of golden sandy beaches and picturesque market towns and fishing villages.

The village of Croyde is ideally suited for exploring all that the region has to offer.
