Property code: OC-D35028

The South West Coast Path sits just across the fields from this two-bedroomed holiday hideaway. Located in the heart of one of North Devon’s most dramatic landscapes, it makes a great base for an outdoorsy foursome and their canine favourite, with a wood burner and pretty garden adding all-weather appeal.

With far-reaching views across the Hartland Peninsula, this rural retreat welcomes you straight into an open-plan social space where plush sofas are arranged around a wood burner and a Smart TV offers home-style entertainment. Exposed beams hint at the heritage of the property; steps lead up from the lounge area to a contemporary kitchen and dining area – the dog can keep watch for his own dinner without moving a paw. A door leads into the hallway, off which two inviting bedrooms await – choose between a king-size and a double, both similarly styled and sharing use of the shower room close-by. For drool-inducing views and a sniff of fresh country air, step into the enclosed gardens to the front and rear of the property. Fire up the BBQ, take a seat and stay out long enough to appreciate the unspoilt dark skies.

Private parking for two cars allows you to unload luggage and doggie essentials effortlessly. Walk across the adjoining fields and pick up the South West Coast Path for cliff-top trails and stunning sea views. For a change of terrain, Clovelly’s steep cobbled streets and historic harbour are 5 miles away, while closer to home, Hartland Quay is famous for its striking rock formations and dramatic Atlantic waves. Dogs are welcome in the gardens and woodland walks at Hartland Abbey; shop for supplies and refuel at the pubs in Hartland village for a full taste of local life.

The cottage was very clean and well equipped. A little isolated but in a beautiful setting. Pubs in nearest village are very good. Dont forget to bring a hairdryer with you.

Lovely very rural location - ideal for people who want some peace and quiet. The cottage was very comfortable and great for our dog as it had an enclosed patio/garden area. We enjoyed our stay there despite the disappointing weather.

We had a perfect and relaxing week stay in this comfortable and cozy cottage with our two dogs. Easy walk to the coastal path and conveniently located for exploring North Devon and into Cornwall.

We were a family of 4 (2 kids 10 and 14) we really needed a relaxing holiday and some time away from the hustle and bustle of London, Wow! This little barn conversion was perfect and a great location to explore the Nth Devon coast, with 5 mins we were looking over the sea. We had some amazing walks
