Illfracombe Retreats - 5M Verity

Ilfracombe sits on North Devon's dramatic coastline, where beaches alternate with clifftop paths and the countryside rolls inland. The town itself is a traditional seaside place with plenty of restaurants and shops, and from here you can reach everything from Exmoor to the South West Coast Path without much driving.

Verity is a ground-floor apartment within a larger resort complex. It has an open-plan living and dining area with a Smart TV, a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with two singles), and a shower room. Bed linen, towels, electricity and Wi-Fi are included. One car can be parked on-site, and one dog stays free. The resort has an indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa treatments available, plus a restaurant, café and bar; there's also soft play for younger children and a gaming area for older ones. No smoking inside the property.

This works well for families or couples wanting beach access, coastal walks and some on-site relaxation without having to leave the grounds—though the real appeal is stepping outside to the cliffs, beaches and countryside that surround the town.
