Grateful thanks to Dominique and Brett for sharing these FABulous photos of their 25th Wedding Anniversary weekend celebrations beside the seaside! 🎊

It was a real joy having all four of you in ‘da house’! Thanks to very canine-friendly Combe, the gorgeous Buddy & Chip never needed to leave your side – from Coast Path to pub and even for the celebratory supper at The Lime Kiln Café & Bar at Ilfracombe Watersports Hub (what a view!)

I look forward to welcoming you all back to your new home beside the sea later in the year!

Oh we do like to eat fresh seafood beside the seaside! 🦀🦞🐟

The seafood season is now in full swing – and nothing beats fresh fish and seafood straight off the boat, in full view of our stunning coast! 😋

Ilfracombe’s wide range of eateries are now bursting with fresh fishy flavours. Whether you fancy a crab or lobster sarnie, courtesy of local fishing fleet S&P Fish Shop right on the harbour; battered Hake, Cod or Haddock at the chippy or a fancy seafood sensation at Fore Street’s famous Take Thyme restaurant – now is the time and Ilfracombe is the plaice! 😎

In celebration of seafood summer ‘24, I’m offering a 25% discount on all direct bookings making reference to ‘Seaside Seafood’! (subject to availability). It doesn’t get batter than that! 🙃

A real joy to have The Bowden Clan back in ‘da house’ – third time, lucky for me! :) Really chuffed to see wee Charlie again – too poorly to make it last year, so happy to see the old boy getting ‘stoned’ beside the seaside! ;) Thanks for the fab footage, Pauline! Looking forward to welcoming you back to your second home in the Spring – and your offspring (+ his happy Holly) also very welcome! ### Top pics to follow!
