Ruby Rest
Ruby Rest is a lovely, ground floor apartment with traditional Victorian high ceilings and is under a mile away from the nearest beach and theatre in the Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe. The apartment comprises a living room which has a Smart TV and a separate kitchen/diner. There are three bedrooms, a super king that can be made up as a twin on request with an en-suite shower room, and two doubles. There is a family bathroom, and outside is a suntrap courtyard where you can enjoy an al-fresco meal or peaceful evening drink. There is also an allocated parking space in front of the apartment’s garage which is just to the side of the building.
Ruby Rest is perfect for a group of friends wanting to enjoy the North Devonian surfing scene or for those wishing to make the most of this stunning region’s scenery, many attractions, walks and cycle routes. Ilfracombe, with its beaches and lovely harbour and port which dates back to at least the 12th century, has quality ice cream, fish & chips and various craft shops and art galleries to enjoy, plus Damien Hirst’s ’Verity’ statue which is a must see.
The surrounding area has many attractions waiting to be discovered such as Cairn Woodland Nature Reserve, Hillsborough, Rapperee Cove, The Torrs, Watermouth Bay and the South West Coast Path. Then there’s the lovely Fuchsia Valley and for the family, Watermouth Castle & Theme Park. Why not take a trip to Lundy Island or enjoy coastal cruises, fishing, sea-life safaris and diving which are all available locally? Take a trip on the Ilfracombe Princess and see seals, porpoises and sea birds nesting on the cliffs. Try your hand at sea fishing on Blue Fin or take an exhilarating tour of the amazing coastline on the Ilfracombe Sea Safari or on the Hampshire Rose, a former RNLI Lifeboat.
Ilfracombe is also perfectly situated to the enjoy the countless other North Devon attractions such as the popular Tarka Trail, which provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and scenery, stretching from Barnstaple through to Bideford and beyond. There’s Exmoor National Park, just 11 miles away, and Lynton & Lynmouth, 19 miles to the east with its incredible sea views, rugged cliffs and amazing funicular cliff railway, which opened in 1890 and is the highest and steepest totally water powered railway in the world!
And of course, then there are several world class beaches such as Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, Croyde and Westward Ho! – all of which are famous for their surfing qualities, vast stretches of sand and also great dunes. Once you have enjoyed a day out and if you don’t fancy cooking, then there are several good quality and popular restaurants to try out, many of which are regularly visited by locals from all over North Devon for their tasty local and ethnic fayre.
