It offers a secure private courtyard garden with an outdoor seating area and access to a large paddock. Situated in a small hamlet and overlooking the rolling countryside, the Parlour is just 3.2 miles (10 min drive) miles from Hartland Quay and 1.2 miles (4 min drive / 25 min walk) to Hartland village which boasts 2 shops, a café and 3 pubs all of which offer great menus. With easy access to the Atlantic Way (A39), you can venture out and about to neighbouring coastal towns such as Bude or Bideford both 14 miles away (30 min drive) and Clovelly 5.8 miles (14 min drive). In a quiet part of Devon, that is usually bypassed by tourists, you can experience the rugged Southwest Coastal Path with views to Lundy Island. Enjoy the quiet, open countryside and local attractions nearby or you can dip in and out of the busier tourist hot spots. Sandy beaches can be found nearby in Sandymouth (National Trust car park, 12 miles / 25 min drive), Bude & Crockletts (14 miles / 30 min drive), and Widemouth Bay (17 miles / 32 min drive) all of which offer excellent surfing and body boarding experiences, as well as outdoor activities for all ages.

Plenty of space (we were a party of 6 adults and 3 dogs) and very comfortable. Beautiful part of Devon but a car is essential to visit all the nearby beaches ... Bude and Sandymouth were our favourites. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Mark and Lorraine. ##### Marie S.

Firstly communication with Kris was spot on, quick to reply to messages and very helpful. The barn was exactly as listed,plenty of space for the 6 of us but very cosy too. It was just perfect, beautiful outside seating areas, a basket of logs for the woodburner and a very welcoming cream tea when we arrived. We had some lovely walks in the area, and visited the local pubs too, just perfect! ##### Donna S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael F. Oct 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, spacious holiday cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Parlour. There was plenty of space for a family of 5 and the small pool table and the outdoor space was a big hit with the kids. The cottage was situated in a small hamlet and was a lovely get away from our normal busy lives but had quick access to some beautiful beaches and coastal walks. There was certainly plenty to do in October, even when we had a few days when the weather wasn’t at its best. A beautiful part of the country and I would highly recommend the Parlour as a base. We felt very welcomed by the owners and we knew they were on hand next door if we did have any issues. ##### Rachael F. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray W. Mar 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had a fantastic time Fantastic property and location. So quite away from busy life, but just a mile to a small village and perfect for exploring Bude, Hartland Quay, Bideford. Everything on hand for cooking a meal, or go the the local pubs. Kris and Pete were on hand to help us through the storm, extra logs for the fire, candles and hot water bottles. The bedrooms are spacious, upstairs rooms are massive. The downstairs bedroom is perfect and greatly needed to accommodate a disabled friend. Would recommend this property to anyone. Come and enjoy North Devon ##### Ray W. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### david l. Aug 2, 2016 #### A great "away from it all" barn conversion. "The Parlour" fitted our requirements and provided us with all the space we needed. 3 great bedrooms, all en-suite, with plenty of hot water. We were an all adult party of 6 but I am sure that should you bring children there's plenty for them to do inside the property, loads of games provided, and a beautiful garden with a rope swing for the sunny days. Food waste shouldn't be an issue as the onsite hens gratefully received our waste every day. Hartland offers a lot for people to do, walking, taking in the sites, arts and crafts as well as the usual offerings from local tea rooms. The owners were on hand at the start of the holiday and their door was always open for us to ask about local things to do and pups to visit. The Parlour was immaculate and very clean and the owners left a welcome basket of food, eggs,milk and butter, and I would without question book again at the Parlour or even if its just the 2 of us try their B&B accommodation. ##### david l.

We would definitely recommend this property. This property was brilliant. With 6 adults and 1 child there was loads of space. The 2 bedrooms upstairs were massive, which the owners had made the most of by making an area to sit and relax with 2 chairs, coffee tables and tv. The ensuite shower rooms were lovely, light and airy. The kitchen was a good size and well equipped, Christmas dinner was a breeze. The property must be very well insulated as it remained comfortably warm, well after the heating had gone off. Views from the property are very nice across the country. It is set in a very quiet location, in the week we were there we counted no more than 4 cars and 2 tractors passing by, so perfect for a lovely quiet break. Mark the owner greeted us on our arrival, made sure we were happy and just left us to it, which was perfect. My son made this stay extra special by proposing to his girlfriend at the beautiful Hartland Quay. We would love to return in the future. Do not hesitate to book ##### Ray W.

All 3 bedrooms were of an extremely generous size with en suites also of a very good size and all with a lovely rural outlook. The lounge and kitchen areas were similarly spacious and well equipped. There was a smaller games area with table football and pool and a well stocked cupboard with a variety of other games. Outside was a covered seated area as well as a table large enough to accommodate all 8 guests as well as a bbq. The outside area was secure which was important for guests with dogs. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and a nice touch was the scones, jam and cream left for us to have. We also thought having a television in all the bedrooms as well as the lounge was a thoughtful touch. Needless to say the whole family and dogs enjoyed a really wonderful stay. ##### Ian M.

We have spent a great week there. The house is very children friendly and we are two families with four children under 5 year old. They had great fun running about in the garden. Kris has also brought us the beach toys for the children to play at beach. Speacial thanks to Kris that she offered help to search for the lost book and post me the chopsticks I left behind. Thank you very much! ##### Lin L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### martin t.

The property surpassed expectations (and they were quite high), there was a new covered outside seating area, and we were constantly entertained by the swallows, martins and sparrows, not to mention the birth of a calf just across the way. A little tricky to do the first couple of miles of any journey, but well worth that because of all the lovely places to visit in the area. And the fitter guests will have no trouble walking to Hartland with its pubs, small shops and post office. Altogether great. ##### martin t.

Jul 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect stay The property was the perfect place to stay, owned by the perfect hosts, in a beautiful tranquil part of the world. We had a small dog and a 15 month old granddaughter, and we could not have been made to feel more relaxed and at home by Kris and Pete the hosts. Thoroughly recommend this property. The upstairs bedrooms are stunning, and the downstairs bedroom was just what we needed with our dog who unfortunately hates being left on his own. The facilities at the property covered every eventuality we needed for the weather. A great job Kris and Pete. ##### bryan p. Stayed 12 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne G.

We spent a week here, 2 families & 4 dogs, plenty of space to get away from each other if needed. Location was awesome, in 1week we only saw 3 cars, 2 bikes &1 tractor. Very quite and a great little sun trap in the garden. Great place to base yourself and explore both Devon & Cornwall ##### Wayne G. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reena D.

Everything was perfect, can not fault it at all! Kris and Pete were both so friendly and welcoming. The scones went down a treat! Kris was so attentive, having noticed a few items had been left behind after our trip, and was more than happy to drop them off to us as she was heading our way!! We loved our holiday and would definitely consider renting out the property again!! ##### Reena D. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karen m. Apr 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family holiday We all had a lovely holiday here, the house was perfect for us, 5 adults and 2 young children. Plenty of room both inside and out for the girls to play, we arrived a little early but were made welcome and Kris had made us some yummy scones and gave us some nice jam and clotted cream as well. The house is in a very beautiful part of Devon , we went to some great beaches, don’t miss going to Welcombe beach which our 2 little ones thought was great. I would also recommend going to Hartland Abbey, the gardens are amazing and I should think they would be spectacular in the summer. If you are considering booking this house we would certainly recommend it! ##### karen m. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022
