LUXURY PENTHOUSE APARTMENT ALONG ILFRACOMBE SEAFRONT! GREAT FOR FAMILIES !

A stunning, spacious, self-catering, penthouse apartment across 2 floors located on Ilfracombe seafront. Directly opposite the Landmark Theatre and Wildersmouth Beach.

Sleeping up to 12 people, the is a fabulous, well equipped apartment , WITH PARKING!! and seafront location, offers all the holidaymaker could want. It also works great for two families to stay together for holidays.

This is a large penthouse apartment just across the road from Wildersmouth Beach and the famous Landmark Theatre and tourist information centre, as well as Tunnels Beaches, a very popular wedding venue, and of course us walking distance to everything that Ilfracombe has to offer.

Although the apartment is at the rear of the property and has no "direct" sea view, it is located just over the road from the famous Landmark Theatre and the seafront/ promenade that is Wildersmouth Beach , making this a great location for your holiday. We have several repeat guests who love this place for its size, comfort and location. It makes such a convenient base to explore the lovely abundance of restaurants. shops and beaches and Harbour life in and around Ilfracombe. Exmoor, Woolacombe , Combe Martin , Westward Hoe, Mortehoe, Croyde, Saunton and Braughton to name a few, are all just a few miles away.

We also have many costal paths and walks to be explored. The Famous Damien Hurst statue "Verity" standing proud down at the harbour. The harbour also has many other activities going on including daily fishing trips, the sea safari is a MUST for anyone that loves the water and fast boats ! Or there is the Ilfracombe Princess who offer daily trips out and is a little slower!! If you're really lucky you might get too see the dolphins and seals. !! There are also trips available over to "LUNDY ISLAND". There is also Ilfracombe aquarium with a tea room/cafe. We also highly recommend hiring bikes from Fremington and cycling the "Tarka Trail" something we do at least twice a year!!

Other places of interest in Ilfracombe are The Landmark theatre, Ilfracombe Museum, Tunnels Beaches, Capstone Parade, Bicclescombe Park , Cinema, High street with lots of victorian history, we have a Victorian week every May with locals dressed up and their very own performance put on in the high street, pubs, restaurants , coffee shops and shops. In the apartment once you arrive there is an abundance of local information with everything possible to see and do, and if course we are happy to answer any questions you may have prior to making your booking.

Access to the apartment is via a lift or stairs if you prefer, once inside, the long entrance hallway leads to a useful storage room—with storage facilities for boards, wetsuits, walking shoes, coats, bags, pushchair, wind-breakers etc.

A comfortable stay
We had a lovely Monday-Friday stay in the two floor apartment. It had everything we needed and was in a great location to access the beach and hill opposite and walk to the harbour. We didn’t have the best weather (October storms) but the apartment was a great cosy but very spacious base to return to when we did venture out in the rain. There’s a Lidl five mins up the road for essential groceries, a Tesco on the outskirts of town, some nice pubs by the harbour and Woolacombe is an easy drive. A great space for bigger groups or a family of four like us!

The property was good for our party. There were toys for the age of the children who were with us. The bedrooms were a good size. Two boys liked the bunk beds. Plenty of space to store food. Good layout in living room /kitchen. We have had a good time staying here even though the weather was not great. We would recommend 12 Wildercourt to our freinds and family

Would recommend this apartment to anyone!
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ilfracombe and staying in this apartment was the icing on the cake! Plenty of room for everyone and all the amenities we needed. We had to make sure only 1 of us had a shower at any one time as the pressure would drop off if we attempted 2!! Communication with the owner was excellent and she was really helpful in recommending places for us to eat during our stay. The apartment is central for everything you might need locally, and close enough for a short drive to the lovely sandy beach at Woolacombe. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we return to Ilfracombe one day!

Great Location
This property is located opposite a small beach and 5 minutes from the harbour in 1 direction and a small supermarket 5 minutes in the other. It is a good size and comfy for 4 adults, 1 with mobility issues so an ensuite on the ground floor was ideal. The property manager contacted us on check in day to assure us all was cleaned and the property was ready, and the biscuits and wine waiting for us was a nice touch. Overall this was a great place to stay.
