Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Hartland

This historic village is located on the Hartland Peninsula, on a rugged stretch of the North Devon coast. Holiday cottages in Hartland are close to towering clifftops, spectacular rocky beaches, open moors and wooded valleys. On the narrow high street that runs through the village, you will find a couple of groceries, pubs, a café, and a church. A short walk out of the village will bring you to Stoke, where you will notice St Nectan’s Church, a striking building with the highest tower of any church in Devon. Continue to the village’s harbour at Hartland Quay for breathtaking views of Lundy Island and waves crashing against the cliffs. There is a pub with outside seating overlooking the quay, where peregrine falcons are a common sight. The South West Coast Path can be joined here, heading north to the lighthouse at Hartland Point and south to the waterfall and wild, rocky bay of Speke’s Mill. Self-catering holidays in Hartland would be incomplete without a visit to the ancient fishing village of Clovelly, where steep, cobbled lanes descend to a pretty harbour. The charming North Cornwall town of Bude is a short drive westward, with sandy beaches, surf shops, and plenty of places to eat and drink.
