Harbourside 19th Century Cottage. Amazing Sea Views, Terrace and Garage Parking

Manor Cottage is a grade two listed building, built in the 1820s.

Sitting in prime position on the coastal path, in a conservation area on the quiet side of the harbour, the cottage overlooks the beach and lifeboat station.

Boasting a large terrace, it’s a great spot to watch the world go by and, if you’re lucky, a lifeboat launch.

Manor Cottage is a traditional home with modern features and a very well equipped kitchen.

Garage parking included.

The space
3 good sized bedrooms

1 double bedroom downstairs with direct access to a toilet and large walk in wet room/shower. A great self contained space for older teenagers or grandparents.
Excellent views of the harbour from the French doors.

1 double bedroom upstairs next to the family bathroom and bunk bed room.
Superb views across the harbour.

1 bunk bed room at the rear of the building with adult sized single beds.

Kitchen diner on a mezzanine level overlooking the lounge. Access to small back yard.

Lounge with smart TV, two 3 seater sofas and an arm chair. French doors opening out on to the terrace.

Terrace with fantastic views across the harbour and coast. Outdoor furniture with table and seating for 6 people.

Utility area with sink, washing machine and dryer. Accessible from the garage. Good for getting muddy dogs in from outside.

Garage with space for one medium sized car.

Guest access
Access to whole house and use of attached garage.

Other things to note
Harbour beach is only a 2 minute stroll from the cottage.

The cottage overlooks the lifeboat station. Practice nights are usually Thursdays from 6pm. A real treat to see the lifeboat crew launch the lifeboat and carry out practice drills. A great view of this from the terrace.

Ilfracombe is a very relaxed, friendly town with many independent shops, cafes, pubs, ice cream parlours, pasty shops, chip shops and restaurants, as well as a Lidl! Most of which can be reached within a 2-10 minute stroll from the cottage. There is also a large Tesco superstore a 5 minute drive from the cottage.

The cottage is situated right on the coastal path. You can take a beautiful walk around the coast to Lee Bay to the West and stop for lunch in the very old and quaint Grampus Inn which has a consistently good contemporary menu (1hr 30mins walk - Grampus will order you a taxi back!). Or an easier Easterly walk to Hele Bay. You can also walk to the top of Hillsborough in around 20 minutes - the hill to the right as you look out from the terrace known locally as 'The Elephant'

During Easter and throughout the summer, you can take boat rides right from the harbour. Lots of different trips available including dolphin and seal watching. Trips are also available to Lundy Island.

There is a lovely swimming pool only a 10 minute walk along the coast.

Pets are very welcome.

Adorable Harbourside Cottage!
This is the most adorable cottage right on the harbour. The cottage has everything you could possible need and check in and out process was very easy. The host was very helpful and communicative. There are quite a few stairs in the cottage but good handrails for all and makes a unique layout. We were lucky enough to see the lifeboat launch for practice on the Thursday night. The location is perfect and you can easily walk into town, to the beaches and around the harbour area. I would not hesitate to recommend for a holiday in Ilfracombe and the North Devon coast.

Amazing
This has to be my new favourite house! Its wonderfully quirky with amazing views over the harbour. Close enough to get to the beach and shops in minutes but out of thr way enough to enjoy the quiet. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, I've not slept that well in a longtime! The kitchen had everything we needed and the information books were a huge help. The balcony overlooking the harbour is fantastic, I spent so long enjoying the view (and the breeze), people watching and the Lifeboat practice on Thursday (at 6pm) was really good, such a great view. I very highly recommended Manor Cottage and Liz (the host) is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would (and will) be back in a heartbeat.

Excellent holiday in a fantastic harbourside property
We had a really relaxing stay in a fantastic property, in an amazing location in the heart of Ilfracombe overlooking the harbour. Even the weather in November was kind to us and didn’t stop us exploring.

3day stay Steve
Excellent location and place just as advertised. Only Let down by 2 things. It could have been cleaner - Toilets we bleached to make clean and cushions on sofa needed hoovering especially underneath. Finally, parking a problem as street full and had to pay for 2 days parking out of 3 day stay. Next door might not need to keep parking posts up any longer that restricts access to garage, so worth a follow up

Quirky and quaint with fab views
We couldn't fault anything about the property, location or owner. The owner has decorated it immaculately, mixing contemporary with old. Sitting out watching the world go by on the terrace was great. We were left wine and biscuits, tea, coffee and milk for our arrival which was gratefully received. Would definitely recommend. We can't wait to return as it's a little gem.

Fab House in a Fun Town
The house was so comfortable: unfussy, attractive, and just so relaxing. The deck overlooking the harbor was addictive--we just couldn't get enough. The location is great for accessing the harbor and the High Street, but still quiet. Would love to visit again!
