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.

A lovely spacious and very clean house in a lovely village with good amenities. Parking directly outside the house was very convenient and always available. An extremely well equipped holiday home probably the best equipped we've stayed in so far even a brand new air fryer which I consider a must nowadays. Easy access to lots of lovely places to visit nearby. Bude and North Cornwall within an easy drive away also quite frequent buses from the village itself. Would definitely recommend.

Superb cottage in a lovely village, all the equipment you need for a holiday. Ideally located, not too far to travel to Bude, Bideford, Hartlands Quay and lighthouse. Local pubs very pleasant, locals extremely friendly. Would be a wonderful base for a summer holiday. Would definitely recommend this cottage, and may possibly return in the future during the summer months. Only negative point we have; maybe a king-size quilt on the double bed! Otherwise super stay.
