Dogs are welcome with a fee of £20/dog (max 2). It is on the condition they are not allowed on the soft furnishings or in the bedrooms.

The Neighborhood:
Situated on the North Devon coastline, Ilfracombe is a traditional seaside town that's grown more and more popular over recent years. The pretty fishing harbour is surrounded by rugged cliffs and provides beautiful coastal scenery for walkers and beach-goers. The town has swiftly become an up-and-coming foodie destination with a varied selection of restaurants and pubs. Head to Seventy One Bistro for modern British cuisine, The Terrace for tapas or Antidote for fresh, local seafood.

Ilfracombe is also renowned for artist Damien Hirst's famous 20m high sculpture, Verity, as well as its collection of local galleries which feature a mix of local and international artists. If you're visiting in May, you'll be able to take in the town's Art Trail - with its open studios, live music and locally produced food markets.

The unique Tunnels Beaches were hand carved in the 1820s and have been rated the ‘3rd best beach for rock pooling in the UK’ by BBC Wildlife Magazine. Kids will love exploring the tidal pool whilst adults can sit back and relax in the sun. Lee Bay is a 10-minute drive away, whilst the infamous Woolacombe Beach is 15-minutes. This huge sprawl of beach is brilliant if you're after golden sands and great surf. The far end of Woolacombe Beach, Putsborough Sands, is great for dogs and allows them all year around.

Devon is known for its Tarka Trail, a 180 mile cycling and walking route that traverses unspoiled countryside, dramatic sea cliffs and beautiful beaches. From Ilfracombe, you can pick up the route all the way down to Braunton and Saunton Sands, passing the beautiful Woolacombe and Georgeham village.

Getting Around:
Whilst we would advise having a car to make the most of the gorgeous North Devon coastline, the convenient location of the apartment means you can enjoy Ilfracombe and its beaches by foot. Barnstaple train station is a 25-minute drive or bus away, and here you can catch a connecting train to Exeter St Davids and then onto London Paddington.
