About this property

Spacious townhouse - a short walk to harbour, beaches, shops and restaurants

  • An extremely spacious victorian townhouse with beautiful views over the National Trust Torrs, this property makes the perfect family getaway.

    The bustling town centre of Ilfracombe is within easy walking distance (5 -15 minutes) and offers an array of shops, cafe's, pubs, take aways and restaurants [from high end to Wetherspoons - something for everyone!].

    Further attractions include the quaint harbour where you can enjoy fishing trips, a visit to the aquarium, theatre, cinema, swimming pool, beaches, art galleries and Damien Hirst's spectacular Verity statue.
    The famous 'Tunnel's Beach' is just 5 minutes walk from the property.
    There are also stunning cliff-top walks over the Torrs within a short walk from the property.

    A trip to the nearby spectacular sandy / surfing beaches i.e. Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands are a must and are all within a short drive of Primrose House.
    Alternatively visit Ilfracombe's Tunnels Beach just a 5 minute walk. Or enjoy a round of golf at Ilfracombe Golf Course which boasts a sea view from every tee.

    The accommodation is perfect for families and friends to share, as it is arranged over three floors (bedrooms and bathrooms on first / second floors) with beautiful Torrs views from the front of the property.

    Primrose House has FIVE bedrooms.
    ~The top floor comprises of one double bedroom, one adult bunk room [with TV, DVD] as well as a large family bathroom with roll top bath, shower and WC.
    ~The first floor comprises of the master double bedroom, additional double and single bedroom along with a second family bathroom also with roll top bath, separate shower and WC.
    ~The ground floor comprises of large lounge with sunny bay window, feature fireplace, chandelier, chesterfield sofas, Satellite SMART TV/DVD player, stripped floor, Persian rug etc.
    The spacious and well equipped Kitchen/diner features a handmade oak kitchen, granite worktop, range cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, hi fi and large dining area.

    ~Outside guests can enjoy the sunny courtyard garden with garden furniture and BBQ.

    Bed linen, bathroom towels, gas/electric, central heating, travel cot and high chair are included in the rental price. The property also has the benefit of an extensive book, CD, DVD library and numerous board games for all the family to enjoy.

    Free WiFi

    Ample roadside parking [free], well behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement (ground floor only) regret no smoking inside the property please.
    Perfectly located for weddings at the historic Holy Trinity Church and Tunnels Beach wedding venue.

    If you are planning to stay in Ilfracombe, I recommend booking restaurants before your stay as restaurants do get booked up several weeks in advance during the busier times of the year.

    Please feel free to email or call if you need any further information about the property or local area.

    Check in details. It's a self check in process.

A charming well equipped holiday home with lots of character situated in a quiet residential area close to the town centre. The modern kitchen has all you need for your stay and the spacious lounge is ideal for all the family to gather & relax in. The bedrooms & bathrooms are all clean & comfortable. For kids there are plenty of games to suit all ages. The rear outside terrace provides a sheltered place to eat & socialise in during warm weather. Communication with our host Caroline was easy and quick to respond to any queries.

Lovely spacious property

A great place to stay with lots of space. We were a group of 3 generations and we fitted in perfectly. Easy walk into Ilfracombe, which had plenty to see and do. Lovely walks and pubs. We could easily park on the road, even during half term holidays. Nice drive to many places. A lovely place to stay.

Perfect Holiday House

Our party of four adults, two seniors and three children were looking forward to our holiday, and we were not disappointed! The house was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay with plenty of parking close to the house. Ilfracombe is a lovely area, with Tunnels Beach being a must to visit for a small fee! Plenty of great places to eat, Hip and Pistol do great food at a very reasonable price. Woolacombe is a lovely sandy beach, great for beach games, surfing or just relaxing!. Also, The Big Sheep is worth a visit if you have youngsters or are young at heart! We would love to return again one day.

Beautiful house. There was 6 of us and a dog and there was plenty of room for us all. The house is beautifully decorated with original features, clean, tidy and well stocked with games and essentials for the stay. Ilfracombe was lovely and the house was a great base to explore North Devon.

Lovely house and owners

The house is really lovely and well kitted out. The kitchen and living area is modern and spatious and the living room was bright and comfortable. A great property. The owner was extremely helpful and when we left a gift in the house she posted it back for us and wouldn’t even let me pay! I would strongly recommend this property.

Great place to stay Ilfracombe is beautiful.

Check in easy .... Check out easy.....communication great...house just as described. Hilly area but manageable. Only downfall is parking is a bit hit and miss. If you go out parking could be a short walk from house upon return, with little ones in the wet this can be a little awkward. Although it didn't spoil our stay at this beautiful property.

Beautiful spacious home. Perfect for a family holiday

We had a wonderful holiday, helped by fabulous weather 😎 Primrose House is really lovely. Lots of space for our group of 2 adults and 4 teenagers. We loved the big bathrooms and roll top baths. The kitchen is well equipped with a great range oven and barbecue in the back yard. Ilfracombe harbour is about 15 mins walk away and we saw some gorgeous sunsets above the tunnels beach. Plenty of fantastic beaches a short drive away. Caroline was a great host and all arrangements worked smoothly. There was a minor issue with the oven but we had clear communication and Caroline had the issue sorted quickly. We were delighted with our stay and would love come again 😀

Superb property and location.

Very impressed with this property. The house is very spacious with lovely views of the Torrs. Split over three floors it means everyone gets their own space. It is very well equipped, Caroline has thought of every possible need. We were able to park all 3 cars outside the property throughout our stay so saved a fortune not having to park on car parks. The garden is a very pretty sun trap and just the right size for our dog. The property is perfect for walking into Ilfracombe (bit of a hill but need this to help burn off all the chips and pasties.) Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
