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.

Stuart & Alison
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.

Barnhayes is a lovely cottage. Everything you could possibly need, for a very comfortable stay.The owners are so lovely and couldn't have helped us anymore, as we had some major car trouble while there. There are some lovely dog walks from the door. I would recommend a walk at Hartland Quay along the cliffs, so beautiful.
