A lovely place, one of our favourites 🍷😎

Ready to meet the hosts of our lovely holiday home? Say a big hello to Matt and Zoe 👋

Matt has a long career working as a professional musician, he rocked the stages at legendary festivals like Reading and Lollapalooza in the States, crafting a number of albums along the way. Later on he worked for a number of labels as a new media head, where he got to meet many of his musical idols.

Running The Elmfield has given him the opportunity to go back into creating his own music and supplying content to apps along with podcast editing and producing music for musician clients.

Zoe has been in digital media from the very early days in 1994 on the first live broadcast events for Orbital the S*x Pistols and David Bowie, also webcasting Oasis from Loch Lomond. She later worked for the University Of Westminster, Music Merchandise and licensing companies plus an interior design agency where some of The Elmfield's house decor inspiration came from!
Zoe is currently chief of staff at the Mettle startup which is a men's mental health app which is available in the App Store.

When our children were young, we relocated to the picturesque town of Ilfracombe. It turned out to be a fantastic place for kids. Their school in Woolacombe boasted stunning sea views, surf lessons, and science classes conducted right on the beach. We initially ran our house as a bed and breakfast, getting the kids involved in the daily operations. As they grew older, we transformed the property into the amazing big house hire that it is today. This shift not only enhanced our business but also freed up more time for us to focus on our careers.

We can't wait to welcome you and your guests to our gorgeous home, The Elmfield in Ilfracombe.

We knew it all along!

The Times has once again named Woolacombe as one of the top 50 beaches in the UK!
Here's what they say about us ...
''This three-mile swathe of north Devon sand has earned its place in the pantheon of British beaches by consistently achieving something close to seaside perfection. Encircled by National Trust land that prevents the village’s expansion, yet with room for all, Wooly has beach huts for hire (£140 for four days; parkinestates.co.uk), surf schools, food trucks, a river running through it and Bucky’s, the friendliest surf shop in the southwest. Plus it has two of the best beach cafés in the country: the Beachcomber for breakfast and the Barricane Beach Café for Sri Lankan curry dinners.
Loos, dogs on a lead allowed in certain zones from May-Oct, lifeguards, accessible. Water quality: excellent''
