Escape to the gorgeous Hartland Devon Heritage Coast and stay at this former barn where two canine companions are very welcome to join you. Sleeping four guests, the three-bedroom holiday home is situated about 2.5 miles from Titchberry, right on the Hartland Peninsula. Strike out on exhilarating walks along the South West Coast Path or head inland through beautiful countryside. Return to the property to light the wood burner or sit out in the Devon sunshine while the pups play on the grass.

Step into this property that is one of several exclusive holiday homes within the setting. Fire up the wood burner in the lounge/kitchen/diner on chilly days as your furry friends pad about and explore or pull open the French doors during warmer weather so you can all wander outside. Whip up hearty meals for two and four-legged guests in the kitchen area then lay the table for a sociable holiday meal. Relax in front of the Smart TV with DVD after dinner while your furry friends enjoy a well-earned nap. There is a utility space with a handy washing machine for doggy towels, plus a double bedroom, with en-suite shower room, and a single bedroom downstairs. Climb the staircase up to the mezzanine level, then wander on through to the twin room with TV. There is also a separate WC, with sloping ceilings, up here. Take the pups out to stretch their legs then have breakfast on the sunken patio on sunny mornings. There is parking for two cars.

Walk approximately 2.5 miles to Hartland Point, with its lighthouse. Stroll 750 metres down to the South West Coast Path and then hike with your happy hounds at your heel some 3.5 miles to the cliffside village of Clovelly, passing the striking, natural landmark of Blackchurch Rock as you go.

The cottage was perfect, right at the end of a narrow lane with plenty of parking, far enough away from any towns but close enough for any of our everyday needs. We needed a break from our lives in the concrete town we live in and this fitted the bill. We will return.

Lovely cottage in a quiet and peaceful location, clean and well equipped. Sandy and Richard were on hand to give advice on the local area but also gave us the space to enjoy the cottage. The patio area was secure for our dog and along with the garden was a great outdoor space to enjoy the quiet of the surrounding countryside.
