About this property

Situated in a residential part of West Down, this attractive property provides space and comfort with easy access to the picturesque North Devon coast. Boasting four bedrooms, The Drift is a great escape for family and friends looking to experience this beautiful part of Devon, home to some of the largest and unspoilt beaches in the UK. Enter into the property and make the sitting room your hub of relaxation, furnished in a contemporary style with two sofas and a Smart TV, whilst there is also a snug with similar features, ideal for a quiet moment away from the group. Carry the conversion into the spacious kitchen where you can sit at the dining table to discuss the holiday plans whilst the chef gets acquainted in the kitchen, kitted out to a high spec with integrated appliances and ample worktop space.

Just off the kitchen is a handy utility from which you can do your washing and store walking gear. As you tire head upstairs to the bedrooms, each of which have been tastefully furnished to ensure the highest-quality sleeping quarters; the master includes a king-size bed and en-suite shower room, while there are two doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, and a pretty single room, all tied together by the lavish bathroom with a bath and a double walk-in shower cubicle. Continuing to impress, the multi-level garden provides a superb outdoor space, with quirky seating and a firepit on a level and an arrangement of furniture on another, you can easily enjoy alfresco dining and well-deserved glass of wine after a day on the beach.

If you don’t fancy preparing food then take the short walk to The Crown, a traditional 17th century pub in the heart of West Down, serving a varied menu and selection of real ales, or venture a little further afield to Woolacombe, home to a vibrant selection of pubs, restaurants, takeaways and beachside cafés where you can sit and indulge in a Devon Cream Tea. Woolacoombe also boasts three miles of golden sands which has been awarded a Blue Flag status, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, building sandcastles and playing ball games. Visit the seaside resort of Ilfracombe to see the historic harbour of quaint pastel-coloured houses and you can even hop on a boat to Lundy Island, a surreal granite outcrop where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel.

With plenty to fill your holiday itinerary in Devon, a stay at The Drift promises wonderful memories to be made.

Resting in North Devon with easy access to the seaside resorts of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, is the picturesque village of West Down. The village offers a lovely Norman church, a 17th century Inn serving food and ales and a local shop, whilst the immediate countryside boasts walking and cycling routes. Just four miles away rests Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, home to long, sandy beaches and plenty of restaurants, pubs, beachside cafés and independent shops.

    It is a wonderful house, fully equipped with everything you would need whilst on holiday. The rear garden with upper seating areas is stunning. Also, ideally located to access the nearby beaches.

    The property was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need AND THEN MORE and the welcome pack was lovely, thank you, however, maybe a pack of butter could be included to go with the loaf of bread and the milk. The beds were very comfortable too (comfier than my own bed!) and the bathrooms like everything, were super clean. The outside seating and dining areas are fabulous, providing amazing views of the sunsets and surrounding countryside. Sadly the weather wasn't really warm enough in the evenings to sit out. Good enough reason to visit again during the summer! Sadly the village pub closed down the week before we arrived and if we wanted to eat out in the evening, we had to drive 4 - 5 miles to nearby pubs in Chivenor, Ilfracombe and Georgeham. Hopefully, a new buyer will be found soon for the pub. Stuart and Pauline, thank you for providing a beautiful home with all the attention to detail and also for the very comprehensive guest guide. The alternative route was really helpful to avoid the roadworks. We would highly recommend The Rock Inn at Georgeham for food. Very friendly staff and an awesome chef. Not cheap but in a class of its own.
