Mullacott Retreats - 52 Meadow View

Couples and small families will find this two-bedroom lodge on a 31-acre park near Ilfracombe suits them well. Everything is on the ground floor: an open-plan living and dining space with a smart TV, a kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and all the basics for self-catering, one double bedroom with an ensuite shower, and one twin bedroom served by the main bathroom. Bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are all included. The front deck is the real draw—it opens from the living area and holds a private hot tub for four, with garden furniture and a sitting-out area that faces onto the park.

On-site parking takes one car. A pub sits within a mile of the lodge. The coast is close: Ilfracombe with its harbour and shops lies three miles away, while Woolacombe's wide sandy beach is a little further. No smoking is permitted in the property.
