Whether you fire up the grill to cook mackeral from your afternoon fishing trip, or just to keep you warm as a drink a sundowner and watch the boats come in from the Bristol Channel, you can enjoy the spectacular views whatever the weather. On the MID-TERRACE there is a large table seating 10 that makes a wonderful place for al fresco dining at lunchtime or as the sun sets over the harbour. Additionally there is a new decking area with sun loungers, perfect for soaking up some rays or enjoying the spectacular views. On the GROUND FLOOR TERRACE there is a charcoal BBQ if you prefer to grill outside while enjoying those beautiful views and watching the boats coming and going below. To the FRONT of the property there is a rocking bench and garden bench ideal for a relaxed morning cuppa or coffee as the harbour day gets going.

Directly in front of the property, the town’s harbour with beach is a pretty working fishing harbour where visitors can watch the local fishermen come and go with the day’s catch, and relax or play on the sandy beach. Further beaches are within 10 minutes walk including the town’s unique Tunnels Beach, which is exactly what the name suggests: a collection of sandy and shingle cliff-backed beaches, accessed via a network of Victorian tunnels, offering a cafe-bar, picnic area, wetsuit area, and a tidal pool. The town has a number of well-regarded eateries, and a range of interesting shops, aquarium, mini-golf, as well as choice of fun day trips by boat, including to Lundy Island. Also visit Combe Martin, Mortehoe, and Woolacombe for blue flag beaches, Watermouth Castle theme park (good for younger children), wildlife parks, museums and other attractions.

The house is a short walk up the harbourside path from the end of Quayfield Road, and then accessed via steps to the front door (not easily accessible for mobility impaired visitors and not suitable for wheelchair access). The Look-Out and mid garden terrace, are also accessed by steps which are steep in places. Free parking is available on Quayfield Road (first come first served). Paid parking is available directly below the house on the harbourside in either Cove or Marine Drive (long stay) car parks. Further parking details supplied with booking information.

We were 10 ladies on our first swimming trip away from our local haunts in Hampshire. The property provided us a home away from home within walking distance of our planned boat trip to Lundy Island (with Sea Safari - we swam with seals and saw dolphins - fabulous), we also swam in Rapparee Cove, enjoyed marvellous cocktails at the Quay Cafe and Wine Bar, had a bit of retail therapy, walked and laughed a lot. Not sure we will be able to beat this next year so may have to return. Thank you

We had a lovely time. There are views from all of the common areas and the terraces and the house was a great place to relax. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of dining space inside and outside. Lots of charcoal helped with a few barbecues.

Everything about the property was fantastic! From communication ahead of our stay, the house itself, the views, the people watching, the decking, the grill....everything! Ten of us visited, 5 couples, to belatedly celebrate 7 of our 50th Birthdays, which we'd had to postpone from April 2020. We had a fabulous 3 night long weekend stay. All ten walked to Lee on Saturday, spent a few hours in the pub there, 3 walked back and 7 got a taxi which worked really well. On Sunday we walked to Hele, again rewarded with a few drinks in the pub, then walked back. We used the decking, the grill, cooked in and ate out. We spent time watching the boats and fishermen coming and going as well as the RNLI. The house was perfect for 5 couples to all be together but equally each have our own space and bathroom. We all totally recommend the house for your stay and the communication with Cassandra was very quick and helpful. A huge THANK YOU from us all!

We wanted to get away for a week near Christmas with our family group consisting of two teenagers and their 2 friends and both of our Mums. We choose Quayfield as it had 5 bedrooms with en-suites, so everyone had their own space, the views outside were spectacular in the pictures & pleased to say were the same in real life and the house had everything we would need for the December weather - ie TV's, games, reliable wi-fi and the outside hut with firepit. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The house overlooks the harbour which is lovely. The teenagers explored Ilfracombe and went to the old style cinema, went to Woolacombe for arcades and beaches and even though the weather was not the best it had no real effect on anyones stay at all. Ilfracombe was quiet, quite a few things were shut but we expected that. I imagine its very different in the Summer months, It had everything you need locally (supermarkets etc) and was a great base to explore the surrounding area from. Even in the quieter months we didn't get parked outside, but we had bought the recommended pass beforehand and it is pretty cheap for a weeks parking. Though don't park under the trees unless you want to be cleaning your car everyday (seagulls). We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again for sure, maybe in the warmer months just to see the difference. But we got exactly what we wanted, a beautifully appointed house in a great location and great times had by all.

We had a great time staying on this property. The location was amazing with incredible views of the Harbour. The house was clean and spacious. We went here with our grown up children and there was enough space for all of us. We were very comfortable in the house and it was lovely to come back to after a wet walk! We loved the local pub and went there every day and we also loved the local burger bar. The kitchen was well equipped and the log burners very useful at this time of year. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Had a very nice and relaxed stay. Ilfracombe was obviously quiet this time of year but there were still pubs and shops open. The locals are very friendly. The view is amazing from the house and even better on the deck, which I imagine would be wonderful in the summer. The house itself is beautiful too and had everything we could need. Thank you for providing a pre-lit Christmas tree too! It was a welcome surprise!
