Greg Saunders & team
Laston house is a Grade II listed Georgian Manor located above the harbour in Ilfracombe North Devon. We have 8 generous sized bedrooms, a lovely guest lounge and a nice garden to relax in. With onsite parking just outside the property which is a rarity in Ifracombe. Located on the south west coast path coming into Ilfracombe from Combe Martin. We are just a 5 minute walk from the harbour, which has some excellent restaurant's.
We love to get out and explore the local area. Go to the fab local beaches. Eat at the local restaurants, or pop 50 yards at the bottom of the garden to the thatched inn pub which is great for food too. Further a field we like to head to Lynton and Lynmouth and go on the cliff railway.
We are located up above the harbour and set back from the road. So we have easy access down to the harbour and also into the high street of Ilfracombe. We are located a couple of minutes from the local swimming pool, and the southwest coast path.
