Self Catering in Devon - Ilfracombe

Wafer thin ceiling transmits noise.
Unfortunately all movement from apartment above transits noise to below and when there's excited children it means you can't relax or enjoy the holiday. Shame as apartment and location OK. Nothing special but OK and decent kitchen however doubt we can put up with the noise for a full week.

Unbeatable location and views
Ocean Breeze is on the fourth floor of Granville Point, an imposing, castellated former Victorian hotel in the centre of Ilfracombe. The views stretched far and wide, from the town's seafront across the Bristol Channel to south Wales. There's a balcony off the stylishly furnished lounge / kitchen / diner and an even bigger one off the spacious double bedroom. And as we were holidaying during a heatwave we were blessed with some stunning sunsets as we sat there, glass in hand.It's on a quiet road so there was nothing to disturb the sound of seagulls squalling and waves rolling in, seemingly beneath our feet. Having said that, helicopters from a nearby RAF base occasionally swooped low over the apartment in scenes reminiscent of Apocalypse Now! My wife and I were even able to take in the views as we showered in the en suite bathroom, while retaining our dignity at all times. We were just a hop, skip and jump away from Ilfracombe's seafront gardens where we were surprised to find a tribute to Jonathan Edwards.
