Join us on this wonderful weekend trip to explore the spectacular coast of North Devon along with some of it's most special places - and with a great 1/2 price bar thrown in every night!
You'll stay in the harbour town of Ilfracombe with its picturesque sandy beaches, clear waters and resort attractions. This Devon seaside favourite sits amongst a magnificent coastline with Damien Hirst’s Verity statue contrasting with the quaint pastel houses along the seafront. Ilfracombe really has something for everyone with stunning beaches, an attractive historic harbour, the famous beach tunnels, alfresco drinking and dining opportunities, independent shops as well as a thriving art gallery scene. Make sure to take a boat trip from the harbour along the spectacular coast, go seal watching or even dolphin spotting.
You'll stay at the Imperial Hotel, set in a prime location overlooking the beach and a short (almost) level walk to Ilfracombe's shops & harbour. The hotel has a bar and dance-floor, dinners are 3-course, and breakfast is full English (bacon, sausage, eggs etc). There's entertainment on most nights at the hotel, so you'll not have to venture far for a bit of music and fun and you'll have a great 1/2 price bar to enjoy too.
You'll have lots of free time to enjoy Ilfracombe and we have also included an excursion to pretty Barnstable and Bideford if you would care to join us?
An ideal choice for:
- Anyone looking for a wonderful weekend break
