Ilfracombe - our nearest town and only a short drive from The Long Linhay - has been shortlisted for UK Town of Culture 2028!
Out of over 400 applications, it's one of just 15 towns to make the cut and the only one in the south west.
There's lots to explore, from the bustling harbour and independent shops, to coastal walks, galleries, great places to eat and Damien Hirst's famous Verity keeping watch over the sea.
It's the perfect spot for a day out during your stay with us. Well done to everyone at One Ilfracombe and the whole community for the work so far and good luck with the final submission🤞 Visit Ilfracombe
