Quay Cottage is a 19th-century terraced Devon cottage in Ilfracombe accessed through a private gated path. The property sits less than half a mile from Ilfracombe harbour with its independent shops and mix of Victorian and Regency architecture. Nine steps lead up to the front patio where you can sit with a drink in the sunshine.

The North Devon coast offers beaches and coastal walks within easy reach. Wildersmouth Beach and Tunnels Beach are both under a mile away. Exmoor National Park lies 11 miles inland for moorland walks and wildlife spotting.

This cottage sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms. The first floor has a stylish king bedroom with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom. Downstairs features a gorgeous open-plan lounge and dining area with oak beams and a brick fireplace. The contemporary kitchen includes a breakfast bar. A ground floor bathroom has a shower over the bath.

Ilfracombe Harbour (0.5 miles) and Ilfracombe Museum (1 mile) are walkable. Chambercombe Manor sits 1 mile away. Lee Beach is 4 miles distant. Lynton and Lynmouth are 20 miles up the coast (35 minutes).

Quay Cottage suits couples and families wanting a quiet coastal base near beaches and harbour attractions.
