4* GOLD AWARD-WINNING SPACIOUS,STUNNING ANNEXE,BEAUTIFUL SEA VIEWS,GARDEN,WIFI

Farthings Nest provides a great holiday base for those looking to explore this part of North Devon. The annexe is located half a mile up the hill from Ilfracombe's main High Street, with its wide choice of restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops, the harbour and other town attractions are just beyond this.

A trip out in the car will be a must for those looking for spectacular coastal scenery, sandy beaches, rugged coves and inspiring coastal and Exmoor walks.

The ground floor annexe was completed to a high standard in July 2014 and its elevated position provides garden views across the town and coastline towards the National Trust Torrs.

A short level walk through the garden gate takes you to the private entrance. Inside feels calm and welcoming with a coastal theme throughout. A short corridor off the main living area leads off to the bedroom and around the corner is the very spacious split-level bathroom. There is also a storage cupboard provided.

Part of the garden directly in front of the living room window is set aside for guests use. Here you can relax and enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine and plan your next day's adventure, out and about in this beautiful part of Devon.

Accommodation: Ground Floor: Open plan living/kitchen/dining/ area with 40" flat screen Smart WiFi Sky Q TV, Blu-ray disc player. Kitchen area with electric ceramic hob and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and slimline dishwasher.

5 Star Review Angelica and Max, Switzerland.
31 Aug - 7 Sept 2024 We felt very comfortable in the Farthings Nest. The view of the sea, the beautiful garden, the welcome gift and the helpfulness of Steph and Mick will be fondly remembered. Angelica and Max

Superbly equipped accommodation, has everything you could possibly need while on vacation. Even though the unit is part of the owners home, it is designed in such a way as to feel completely separate and private. We only saw the owners on a couple of occasions during the week, but they made it clear that if we needed anything, we just had to ask. There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and we hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you Stephanie and Mick for making us feel welcome and thank you for the Cream Tea on arrival.

Very comfortable base for the North Devon area

Beautiful, spacious, comfortable, clean, welcoming, sea views, lovely patio and garden, convenient, private and well equipped, all describe Farthings Nest. We have just had a fantastic week's break here. Rooms are all bigger than they seem on the photos, and it’s a shortish walk down the hill to the harbour area (although it seemed much longer on the way up!). From the welcome hamper to the very well equipped kitchen, living room and bedroom to the magnificent bathroom, the owners could not have done more to make our stay here one to remember for all the right reasons. And if you don’t know the area there are lots of beautiful coastal walks, towns and beaches to keep you busy. Thank you!!

Excellent accomodation

The apartment was warm and inviting when we arrived on a very cold. We were greeted with a lovely hamper which included a cream tea and a lovely vase of flowers. It is very modern and very well equipped for self catering. The area was very quiet and peaceful and there were lovely sea views from the apartment. Sonia gave us a lovely warm welcome and was very friendly.

Relaxing stay with a sea view

Farthings Nest is located near the highest point of Ilfracombe with great sea views from the lounge and bedroom. Lovely cream tea hamper was a surprise. Plenty to do, walks, boat trips and of course the delights of the coastal towns and villages. Owners, who live upstairs, very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Shangri La in North Devon

Outstanding, majestically spacious, scenic, a gem, are only a few of the many words l could use to describe this amazing annex. A lot of love has gone into making this a perfect place to stay in North Devon. Exceptionally well appointed and wonderfully spotless. Everything from the impressively large, soft bath towels to the abundance of coat-hangers is 5 star. Stephanie and Mick are gracious and welcoming, nothing is to much trouble for this charming couple. Needless to say: we will be back Stewart & Carole Weston

Perfect, cosy, retreat 🥰

Our stay in Farthings Nest was wonderful. We loved everything about it. It looked even better than the pictures. Extremely clean, everything you needed and more for a relaxed holiday. Stunning sea views while you enjoyed a drink on your very own patio. A short walk to Ilfracombe harbour, shops and restaurants. We both enjoyed our complementary creamed teas, that were in a welcome hamper Loved the decor and the bed was extremely comfortable, which to us is crucial. Steph and Mick made sure we were happy with everything, and if we needed we only had to ask.(which we didn’t because it had everything) We felt completely at home and have already recommended it to our friends and family, and intend to visit again.

Lovely Sea View Accommodation

Farthings Nest has modern, bright and comfortable accommodation. Everything needed for a relaxed holiday has been catered for. Plus I’m confident that should any problem arise, the host (who reside above the property) would be more than happy to help if possible. The apartment is only about a 15 minute walk to the harbour, but be aware that Ilfracombe has very steep streets.

Circumstances unfortunate

We arrived just a day before our age group was told by the PM to self-isolate for maybe 4 months. Not the best way to start a holiday! Panic buying in the local supermarket; cold, drizzly, misty weather & muddy, spongy countryside making walking (our preferred activity) unpleasant; having to avoid crowds; National Trust properties semi- or completely closed: we went home 3 days early. But that’s not to imply anything at all unfavourable about Farthings Nest. In all normal circumstances, it is a spotless, charming, delightfully furnished and equipped accommodation with a lovely view (the mist DID sometimes disappear!) overlooking Ilfracombe. If we come OK out of the corona virus, we might well consider returning to redo the week we HAD intended, had the abnormal weather and the CV not intervened.

New Year

We arrived at Farthings Nest after a very busy Christmas catering for family looking for peace and quiet, We were not disappointed. The annex was everything we hoped for and more besides. Sparkling clean with beautiful linen. The annex was very well equipped with everything you needed for a self catering holiday. Steph and Mike are very welcoming but not intrusive and always happy to help with local information. We were surprised with a lovely hamper full of Christmas goodies which we really enjoyed. Although attached to the main house it was extremely private with fabulous views from the lounge and bedroom. The lounge was very relaxing and comfortable as was the bedroom. On warmer spring / summer days it has its own private garden for outside dinning looking out to sea. A short drive to the harbour gives you easy access to the beautiful Tarka coastal walks. Stunning views. Also short car journey to beautiful beaches. We would definitely recommend accommodation to anyone, and if you haven't explored this part of Devon, Ilfracombe is a perfect place to stay.
