We enjoyed an excellent week staying at “The Square”.The house is old and full of character, but the facilities and equipment were as expected for a good holiday rental. Although there were only two of us when we stayed, the house is very spacious and more than adequate for up to six people. The south-facing rear garden provides great outside space.Hartland village is well placed for walks and the sea. It has local shops and no less than three pubs all of which do food.

Great location. House needs work. Boiler wasn’t working properly. Windows need changing as can’t see through them. Shower is a dribble. House damp. Shame really because could be brilliant.
