Holiday rental cottage in Hartland, Devon

Accommodation details

Just 2.5 miles from the dramatic rock formations around Hartland Quay, this traditional two-storey cottage, set within an AONB, is perfect for active guests eager to sample some of the brightest jewels that decorate the North Devon coastline and inland areas. Welcoming living areas showcasing stone walls and contemporary decor are beautifully complemented by well-appointed bedrooms to create a cosy ambience that you can look forward to returning to after a busy day of exploring the area.

Enter the cottage via the delightful kitchen/diner, a bright and airy space which is sure to be no stranger to popping corks or plotting adventures around the farmhouse dining table as the adjacent stove hums and bubbles ahead of a fortifying meal. The lounge next door is ideal for doing just that during the day, or coming together in the evening for a debrief over a glass of wine or an evening film, with the wood burner for company on colder evenings.

Sleepy guests won't need to go far to find one of the three upstairs bedrooms - two double bedrooms and a bunk room ideal for younger guests - or the nearby family bathroom. A small seating area at the front of the cottage is perfect for those who enjoy an early morning coffee or a nightcap before bed. Discover friendly shops and eateries offering local produce aplenty in Hartland (100 metres) and enjoy cliff top walks or the secluded beaches that lie on either side of Hartland Point, itself home to an imposing lighthouse that watches over the peninsula.

The dramatic shorelines of Hartland Quay (3 miles) are an absolute must, while the gardens at Docton Mill (3.5 miles) are perfect for a scenic walk followed by afternoon tea.
