About this property
3 Bed in Nr Hartland (oc-coas1)
This delightful and quintessentially cosy property is a former coastguard's cottage located in the small hamlet of Stoke between Hartland Quay and Hartland village and will immediately make you feel at home. Its wonderful location and homely interiors make this the perfect place to base yourself if you want to explore the delights of Devon, and you’re less than 8 miles from the Cornish border should you wish to venture that way.
Very comfortable throughout, the living room benefits from a wood burner set in an attractive stone fireplace, surrounded by two terracotta sofas. There is a separate dining room with a feature fireplace and a stylish and well-equipped kitchen. You can enjoy the countryside views to the sea beyond from the half landing leading to three attractive bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. Very large mature gardens extend some two hundred feet, with several sloping lawned areas with shrubs and small covered pond. A paved patio sits adjacent to the house to enjoy al fresco meals or simply relax on warm summer evenings.
The scenery along this coastline is truly dramatic and there are some beautiful spots nearby to visit. Hartland Abbey, a elegant 18th-century mansion with gardens leading to the sea is under a mile away, otherwise you could head to the pretty village of Clovelly with its cobbled streets and lovely harbour - an ancient village perched on a cliff with no vehicle access. There are plenty of spectacular walks all around the cottage that take you to tiny coves and harbours, once the haunt of smugglers, and the beautiful sight of Speke’s Mill Mouth Waterfall is just 2 miles away. If you want a bit of retail therapy, the market town of Bideford or the coastal town of Bude are both 16 miles distant in opposite directions.

Ein Haus etwas abseits vom Trubel, dafür von wunderschöner Natur umgeben. Uns hat es gut gefallen.
Das Haus war schön und ordentlich. Einzig der Kamin im Wohnzimmer war sehr geruchsintensiv, was wir bei Sturm echt störend fanden. Ansonsten gab es alles was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht, einschließlich einer netten Begrüßung bestehend aus Kuchen und Wein. Das hat uns gut gefallen und geschmeckt. Der Garten macht einen etwas verwilderten Eindruck, was wir eher schade fanden. Zum gemütlichen Sitzen war es trotzdem in Ordnung.
Die Umgebung lädt zum Wandern ein. Wer allerdings von den größeren Sehenswürdigkeiten Englands mehr besuchen möchte, der sollte sich auf lange Fahrzeiten einstellen oder anders planen. Wir waren vor Ort ganz viel Wandern und waren von der Schönheit der Landschaft echt beeindruckt.
Danke für eine tolle Woche.

Lovely cottage in nice location close to great walks and the north Devon coast
Really enjoyed our half term stay. The weather was fantastic which helped. Lovely walks straight from front door which we really enjoyed with our dog. The local food was of a very high standard. The wifi was very good and we have a family of 4 with 2 teens and all used it constantly. Would definatly recommend for people looking for a quiet getaway.
