We had a lovely New year's stay in this cottage, going for coastal walks and getting cosy by the fire when we came back.

Ilfracombe generally somewhat run down but plenty of other things within North Devon, that are easily within reach in a car, more than compensate. Exmoor and many of the beaches are a delight.

Ilfracombe seemed a bit tired but the Damien Hirst artwork ‘Verity’ was very striking standing on the pier.
