Description

Bliss. It could be a lot closer to home than you ever thought possible. In a hot tub, for example. With a glass of bubbly in hand. And sweeping views over National Trust hills and cliffs, towards the azure sea.

Space designed for living


Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the classic colours of the lounge. Its rich burgundy tones and the roaring log burner make this a cosy place to enjoy dramatic weather from pink-hued summer sunsets to windy winter mornings. Step into the kitchen, meanwhile, and be greeted by a space designed from the ground up for entertaining – so pop on some records and have a little fun. Polished obsidian-black worktops and the ample dining space are flooded with light by the patio doors, which marry the indoors with your striking raised decking area.

Next, wander through the spacious hallway to the sleeping accommodation. Here you’ll discover sumptuous rooms decorated with the discipline of bright, white sheets, pared-back pops of colour for maximum impact and sea views on the north aspect.

Not to mention the outdoor space would be to do this fabulous holiday home a disservice. On endless summer days, recline on sun loungers on the decked terrace as the cool breeze blows in from the Atlantic. Glass partitions allow for uninterrupted views, while the pretty bistro furniture is perfect for breakfasts of coffee and croissants or evening drinks. On the lower level, the lawn is private, secure and lined with established hedges and palm fronds.

Step outside and Ilfracombe's High Street is just half a mile’s saunter down the hill. The fabulous architecture of this Victorian resort town is today populated by independent businesses including sustainable retailers, fabulous food producers and bijou cafés. Wander over to the harbour, where brightly-coloured boats bob in the impossibly-blue waters. Indulge yourself in beach days that rejuvenate the senses, or explore the fascinating silhouettes of Ilfracombe’s famous Tunnel Beaches.

Reviews

The farthings was everything we hoped for. Lots of space for the family to spread out in, a great view, (amazing sunsets) and immaculately clean and well appointed. The kitchen was excellently equipped. The owner was very helpful with ideas for activities and days out Woolacombe beach was only a short drive away and Ilfracombe Harbour was great for paddle boarding. We would definitely stay there again.

Mr H,

Thank you so much to Steph for an amazing holiday at The Farthings. The property was perfect, very well equipped. The views were fabulous and we loved the hot tub. Would recommend to anyone and we hope to come back one day!

Mrs S,

This property is absolutely stunning and is most certainly a 5 star rating. The layout of all the rooms is good and the lounge is huge with plenty of top quality settees, chairs and large footstools with soft furnishings. Plenty of room for everyone in our party of 5 adults and 2 children. The house was cleaned to a very high standard. The bedrooms are very spacious with comfortable beds and good quality bedding and all have plenty of storage space. The kitchen is well equipped including lots of crockery, cutlery, pans and a wide variety of different types of glassware. The balcony is large with good quality tables, chairs, sunbeds and a parasol. We enjoyed using the two barbecues and of course the hot tub was a winner with us all. The gardens are well kept and also have lovely views, the top garden also has a patio area. The views are stunning from the balcony and also the floor to ceiling windows in the house. We were lucky enough to have some good weather and enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the sunset. The property is well situated for visits to Clovelly, Croyde, Woolacombe, Lynmouth etc all within a short drive and is a few minutes from the centre of Ilfracombe. Steph is most friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. We would strongly recommend a stay at this property for anyone who would like to visit North Devon. Thank you Steph and Mick, we wish you all the best for the future.

Mrs W,

The accommodation was wonderfully maintained and clean and completely met our expectations. The owner, Steph was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. It was a great place to stay

Mr Niall H,

A very well equipped, spacious and beautiful property with sweeping views. Very welcoming hosts - unobtrusive, but highly responsive to issues raised.
