Property info
Epchris House is a beautiful Georgian Farmhouse set in over 1 acre of landscaped gardens with a large sun terrace from which to enjoy breakfast al fresco or an afternoon or evening drink. We serve a very relaxed and highly-rated in-room breakfast including a full English breakfast, all freshly cooked to order and each room has its own dining area. We also offer a well-stocked bar and games room. We are set in the tranquil Wilder valley on the edge of Ilfracombe but within easy walking distance of the South West Coast Path, town and harbour (5 minutes to the sea front, 10 minutes to the town centre and 15 minutes to the harbour) and there is an on-site parking space for each room. We very much look forward to meeting you. Best wishes, Cath & Simon Barker
Neighborhood info
Epchris House is set in Torrs Park, an area of Ilfracombe renowned for its great views and tranquility, yet less than a 10 minute walk to the seafront and restaurants and art galleries of the town center. The South West Coast path is a 5 minute walk and Ilfracombe's historic harbour and Damien Hirst's Verity statue are a 15 minute stroll. Exmoor National Park is a 20 minute drive and the award-winning golden sand surfing beach at Woolacombe is only just over 10 minutes by car.
