Seascape Retreat

About this property

Ilfracombe 2 miles. Nestled on Mullacott Park, between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, is this splendid lodge, Seascape Retreat. Providing easy access to North Devon’s attractive coastline, whilst benefitting from a hot tub and off-road parking, Seascape Retreat makes a great abode for a group of six. After a day of wandering the dramatic coastline and sandy beaches, look forward to unwinding in the open-plan living space, complete with two sofas positioned in front of the Smart TV and electric fire, providing a lovely setup for relaxing. Cross the threshold into the kitchen and rustle up a hearty feast before gathering at the dining table and popping open a bottle of fizz. On those balmy evenings, head outside for alfresco dining upon the decking and then savour a dip in the hot tub – what better way to round off the day? As you look to catch your rest, there are three neat bedrooms to choose from, including a double with en-suite shower and two twins. Wander around the park and look out for the panoramic sea and meadow views, revealing the rich and varied landscapes of North Devon. Hop in the car and head north to Ilfracombe, where you can catch a live show at The Landmark Theatre, spend a day on the golden sands of the beach, explore marine wildlife at Ilfracombe Aquarium before experience luxury dining at the Michelin Star Antidote restaurant. In the other direction lies Woolacombe, rich in coastal history, along with stunning clifftop walks and the Morte Point, a spectacular vantage point to appreciate the encompassing shoreline. Along the seafront you’ll also find a selection of shops and eateries to take advantage of including The Porthole, and the Beachcomber Café, or simply enjoy a British staple with a bag of fish and chips. Whilst spending the day on Woolacombe, be sure to visit Funder Island, a firm family favourite, or tour Mortehoe Museum, whilst the surfing beach of Saunton Sands rests nearby. Further outdoor adventure can be found in Exmoor National Park, offering immersive activities, whilst the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon is a must for keen historians. Escape to Seascape Retreat for a magnificent holiday to Devon.

A stunning stretch of North Devon coastline with five beaches, most of which are held by the National Trust, is where the lively coastal town of Ilfracombe is located. The undulating countryside and charming settlements of Exmoor National Park are only ten minutes' drive from Ilfracombe. With a variety of bars, shops, restaurants, and live music almost every night, Ilfracombe's historic harbour and quay are stunning and foster a lively, welcoming atmosphere. From here, take a boat journey to magnificent Lundy Island, a destination of natural beauty that will give you a memorable experience, or go on a wildlife cruise, fishing expedition, or boat tour. Some of the best walking country in England is located around Ilfracombe. You will find the scenery to be breathtaking, whether you choose a leisurely stroll along the promenade around Capstone Hill, confronting the rocky seaside route, or prefer the river valleys and peace of the moorland hills of Exmoor. A handful of excellent restaurants with a focus on regional fish can be found in Ilfracombe. The distinctive towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, with their clifftop railway, are to the east of Ilfracombe, and Clovelly and Hartland are to the west. In addition, Woolacombe Bay, a 3 mile long, golden beach, is only a short drive away. It was named one of the best 20 beaches in the world, making it the ideal location for sunbathing and surfing.
