  • 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: OC-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.

This is OLD ENGLAND. It is out of the way, quiet and secluded. There is a small village a few miles away running old school. 3 pubs, fish and chip shop, church, small shop. It is bliss.

Robert and Leslie are super hosts. They are kind, pleasant and can't do enough for you. The pool is a great swim and the games room is well equipped. Everything you need is in the cottage. The dog fields are enclosed and massive. Just one thing. If you want nightlife, clubbing, city life, etc then this is not for you. If you want a traditional English holiday in the countryside, then I suggest you book where you can. Absolutely fantastic with close by beaches and great food. We will be back. Hide
