Hartland is a flourishing, friendly village, with a shop, 2 pubs and a café. The village resides in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the north westerly coast of North Devon. With many beautiful places to explore why not visit the Hartland Peninsula with miles of inspiring clifftop walks, secluded beaches and marine wildlife to take in. Take a visit to Hartland Point for its hidden lighthouse, zig-zag rock formations and legends of the many shipwrecks in the water below, whilst Hartland Quay offers a dramatic coastline, bold geology and panoramas from Lundy Island to Cornwall. Hartland Abbey, 1.5 miles away is a historic property open to the public and regularly used for filming dramas and feature films. You could visit the award-winning gardens at Docton Mill (3.5 miles) and enjoy afternoon tea or walk around the lovingly restored gardens. For those who like to swim, there are beaches nearby and the sea pool at Bude (16.5 miles) Boscastle and Tintagel in North Cornwall are under an hours drive away (23-33 miles)

Take in the charm of this traditional Devon cottage, with the entrance being the perfect place to leave your walking boots behind. You then step into the cosy lounge where the warming wood burner will entice you to sit back and relax amongst the tasteful soft furnishings that blend simply with the rustic charm. The kitchen area, contemporary in style has an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with ice compartment and is perfect for preparing a romantic supper for two. When the day is done, climb the spiral iron staircase where you will find the delightful master king-size bedroom. You will find the bathroom across the landing with a small bath, separate shower and WC.

Outside the cottage set amongst other traditional cottages, there is a small patio garden to the front ( this also serves as access to the cottage next door). There are various seating areas where you can enjoy your morning coffee with a book. Roadside parking is available (subject to availability) or alternatively there is a free long stay car park located nearby, only a 3 minute walk away.

The ceiling height downstairs is about 6ft so if you are taller than this you will have to stoop which is very uncomfortable. We ended up cutting the week's holiday short after 2 days. However apart from that, the location, house and everything else is superb so guess we were just unlucky with the ceilings!

A beautifully presented and spotlessly clean property with character features which made it very cosy. Books, games & DVDs left for guests were very welcome, as was the milk and delicious cake we found on our arrival. A friendly village with excellent pubs that had both good food and plenty of entertainment on offer.

This is a really well equipped and cosy cottage. We stayed over Christmas and it was nicely decorated and warm upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break at this well appointed cottage. We found the village had a Christmas market, carols around the tree in the market square.

Unbelievable cottage. All amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Great places within an hour either way. We visited Tintagel, Bude, Arlington Court, Woolacombe, Widemouth Bay, Hartland Quay, Docton Mill, Westward Ho! to name a few. The local pubs served good quality food. A local shop and Post Office open every day as needed. I would highly recomRead moremend this cottage and area, with a private village Clovelly not far away either. Some very steep roads and small country lanes can be testing though. Hide
