A holiday in Hartland offers a perfect mix of coastal beauty, village charm, and outdoor adventure. Situated on the stunning North Devon coast, Hartland is famous for its rugged cliffs, breathtaking walks, and unspoiled beaches. A visit to Hartland Quay is a must—here, you can marvel at the dramatic rock formations, watch waves crashing against the shore, and explore the area’s rich maritime history. Nearby, Speke’s Mill Mouth is a hidden gem, featuring a spectacular waterfall that tumbles down the cliffs to the beach below. The village of Hartland itself is full of charm, with a selection of welcoming pubs where you can enjoy a hearty meal and a local ale.
Beyond Hartland, there’s plenty to explore. Clovelly, a picturesque fishing village with cobbled streets and donkey-led deliveries is a short drive away. For a day at the beach, Westward Ho! offers golden sands and great surf, while Bude, just over the Cornwall border, is perfect for seaside fun. Nature lovers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, offering spectacular hikes along the coastline. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Hartland is the ideal holiday destination.

Nice. Could be nicer. Front door needs attention/replacement. Windows are very moist in the middle of the double glazing and running with water. Beds could do with being king size. Nice property, just needs a bit of love.

A spacious, clean and very well equipped holiday house. A good base in the north west of Devon from which to explore this county and beyond.Dog friendly with a secure rear garden accessed via a steep set of steps. (One previous review mentioned that a gate was easy for a small dog to escape through. This has been addressed)The owners were nearby and were friendly and knowledgeable.Would certainly boom again, just a shame about the weather but you cannot have everything.

Barnhayes was very comfortable and spacious and larger than expected. Had everything we needed for our week’s stay. House was very clean and beds and sofas comfortable. Liked the idea of the 2 reception areas and we used one for daytime and the other for evening :)The owner lives close by and was very knowledgeable and helpful about places to visit.Happily recommend staying here and would stay again.
