  • Well-presented reverse level cottage enjoying beautiful countryside views with a shared indoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and games room on site, making the perfect rural escape
  • Situated on the stunning Hartland Peninsula in North Devon, just two miles from the village of Hartland and four miles from the beach at Hartland Quay

Property code: 73953

Located in the tranquil North Devon countryside, this charming two-bedroom cottage enjoys a rural location with excellent on-site facilities that will make tails wag. Wander the cobbled streets of Clovelly (4 miles) to the scenic harbour where you can feast on locally caught seafood or browse the galleries and craft shops of Hartland (1.5 miles), before continuing to Hartland Quay (3.5 miles) for a stroll along the South West Coast Path or a visit to Hartland Abbey (3 miles) to explore the beautiful gardens and grounds.

Approached via the garden path, your rural retreat has reverse-level accommodation with the two comfortable bedrooms, a double and a twin, accessed from the entrance hallway. Heading up the stairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner enjoys views over the lovely garden and countryside where your hound can spend hours stretched out in front of the electric wood burner-effect fire. Prepare tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen to share around the centrally positioned dining table. After supper, curl up on the plump sofas to watch a family film or just enjoy the views. Outside, relax in your private garden with an al fresco drink at the table or light the BBQ for a sociable meal. There are large grounds within the site to explore and you can enjoy the shared indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and games room.

There are walks straight from the doorstep through the grounds and along the quiet country lanes surrounding the property. Pack your buckets and spades for a day at the long sandy beach at Westward Ho! (12.5 miles) where you can splash in the surf, enjoy games of ball chase along the sand and delight in a treat in one of the welcoming dog-friendly cafes. Well worth a visit is the picturesque beach at Welcombe Mouth (8.5 miles) where dogs are welcome all year round.

We had a lovely time at Cherry cottage, despite the weather closing in on us towards the end. The cottage is 'upside down' with beds on the ground floor, and a well equipped kitchen and living area upstairs.

We had such a lovely family holiday at Mettaford Farm. With two young children and a very energetic springer spaniel it can be hard to find somewhere that has something for everyone but with the pool, hot tub and games room plus the two dog fields we were all certainly very happy (and tired) by the end of the week. Lesley and Robin were so helpful Read moreand friendly, even giving us some delicious fresh vegetables from their garden. We have booked to go back next year already and cant wait! Hide

We loved our stay in our upside down cottage. It had everything we needed. The views were stunning. The private garden was convenient for our dog. We all loved the swimming pool, sauna and hot tub. We were delighted with the slow charger for our electric car. It was set in a wonderful location with many beautiful places close by. Clovelly is a mustRead more.

Very peaceful and restful location, great views from the upstairs lounge area, it was very entertaining watching the families of sparrows going about their business. Within very easy access of the A39. Dog accessible field was excellent, and we very much enjoyed the other facilities - the pool, hot tub and table tennis.
