Beach Cove Coastal Retreat

About

Quirky beach huts, private hot tubs and stunning coastal views await you at a resort which has well and truly established itself as the romance capital of North Devon.

 

Beach Cove Coastal Retreat is part of the Darwin Escapes portfolio of holiday resorts, so you can rest assured that you are going to have the best possible holiday experience with no stone having been left unturned in the pursuit of excellence. This is verified by the fact that the resort has been graded as being up to a 5 Star Gold Standard by Visit England and enjoys a consistent stream of positive reviews of TripAdvisor.

 

As you may guess from the presence of hot tubs on the outdoor decking area, these are no ordinary beach huts. They are fully centrally heated and double glazed throughout, ensuring that you will be protected from the elements at any time of the year come sun, rain or snow. The beach huts even have modern kitchens and a spacious dining area, so you will be able to enjoy fully self-catered breaks at the resort. 

 

Located on the North Devon coastline in Ilfracombe overlooking Hele Bay, this is the perfect setting for romantic strolls along the beach of just for sitting back on your outdoor decking area and admiring the beautiful views and taking in the sea air.

 

If a beach hut isn’t for you, then there is always the option of staying in one of three holiday apartments at the resort. Benefitting from the same Darwin Escapes attention to detail, you can enjoy views overlooking the whole park as well as the North Devon coast from the penthouse apartment or alternatively book yourself into stay in the ground floor apartment which benefits from its own outdoor courtyard where you will find private hot tub facilities.

 

Both the luxury beach hut accommodation and also the stunning holiday apartments which are available to hire at this 5 star destination come with a plethora or entertainment features to help keep you occupied if you fancy a day snuggled up in front of the TV. The Smart TVs afforded to guests come with accompanying DVD players and also the complete range of Freeview channels to ensure that you don’t miss any of your favourite shows whilst away from home.

 

As you would expect, all guests will also benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi internet access throughout the duration of their time at Beach Cove. Make your friends and family back home green with envy by posting pictures of your luxury accommodation and the glorious views which can be enjoyed from the resort. The resort looks just as beautiful as the coast which it sits upon, with the luxury beach huts being decorated in pastoral colours to ensure a chic and vintage appearance which really helps the resort stand out from the crowd.

 

Perhaps this would be best enjoyed whilst taking advantage of one of the fantastic cruises which are available from the nearby Ilfracombe harbour. Whilst on-board, you will be given the opportunity to interact with the local seal pups or simply sit back and enjoy the calming sea air. The perfect complimentary activity to enhance any romantic break at Beach Cove.  

 

Love the thought of staying at Beach Cove but concerned about leaving your pet back home? Fear not, because Darwin Escapes loves pets just as much as you do which is why Beach Cove falls under the brands Yappy Days Holidays offering, with numerous beach huts allocated specifically for the use of guests who are staying at the 5 star resort with their four legged companions. Dogs are sure to love the beach just as much as their human companions, with countless coastal walks also right on your doorstep just waiting to be explored.

 

So what are you waiting for? For romantic Devon holiday breaks, think Darwin Escapes.
