Tides Reach - Ilfracombe

Tides Reach looks across the Bristol Channel from a first-floor apartment in Ilfracombe. It sleeps two in a bedroom with a double recliner bed. The balcony has seating for time outside, while the dining table and living area also face the sea. Two dogs are welcome, with possible additional charges.

Access involves external steps and a flight of stairs, with no lift. There are further changes of level inside: the bath and WC sit two steps below the basin in the bathroom. The property does not accept children. These details make it worth checking the layout before booking if either guest finds stairs difficult.

The open-plan lounge and kitchen have seating, a Smart TV, DVD player and an electric piano. Cooking equipment includes an electric oven, gas hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. A dishwasher and washer-dryer are also provided. The bathroom has a shower over the bath rather than a separate shower cubicle.

Shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach are 100 metres away, with the harbour close to the apartment. The Ilfracombe Aquarium is another option while spending time around the harbour. An allocated on-street space takes one medium-sized car; a public car park is 200 metres away if that space does not suit your vehicle. Arrival is from 4pm and departure before 10am.
