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 lodge is well located for easy access to the town. Wildersmouth Beach is just an 7 minute drive from the lodge, as is Capstone Hill (with its superb views).
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. All are within a short drive from the lodge.
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 famous Woolacombe Beach is only 9 minutes away. 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 round.
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 down to Braunton and Saunton Sands, passing the beautiful Woolacombe and Georgeham village.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of North Devon, a vehicle is recommended for getting the most out of your stay here. Two private parking spaces can be found next to the lodge with additional free parking elsewhere on site.
Other Things to Note:
Guests must comply fully with the park rules which will be sent over after booking.
Noise should be kept to a minimum, with absolute quiet between 11 pm and 8 am.
We welcome up to 2 dogs on the condition they are kept off sofas, off beds and not left in the lodge unattended. They must also be kept on a lead in the park.
