    “The cottage was stunning.”

    Had everything we needed to make the perfect Christmas (just add snow) The pool however was cold to get in. Took your breath away cold Poor Gramps only braved it once all week but We assume thats because the cover was missing as someone mustve damaged it :( The cottage owner was so helpful when the heating played ( especially cos it was xmas eve) up and we loved it so much whilst we were there we booked Christmas this year

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback – we’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time staying with us over Christmas. It’s great to know the cottage had everything you needed to make it a special break (snow would have been the perfect finishing touch!). We’re also really pleased to hear that you’ve already booked to return for Christmas this year – we very much look forward to welcoming you back again. I will certainly look into the pool temperature, as it is heated. I’m sorry to hear it felt cold during your stay. Had this been mentioned at the time, I would have happily come out to take a look while you were there to see if anything could be adjusted. Thank you again for your kind words, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if there’s anything at all you need ahead of your next visit. Property Owner

The property

Horseshoe Cottage is a simply dreamy, stone-built abode settled into the countryside outskirts of Hartland.

With the impressive addition of an indoor heated swimming pool, and tastefully outfitted living spaces, this property is an ideal base for friends and families looking to explore the coast and countryside of Devon.

Park up and be welcomed into this charming property, discovering a kitchen with ample amenities to cater to your culinary needs.

From here, head into a living/dining room with a TV, and a larger dining table to seat all guests.

This property boasts a stunning first floor sitting room, bursting with tasteful furniture and welcoming guests to rest their feet after a long day of exploring the local area.

If you fancy a dip in the pool, this property has you covered, boasting an indoor swimming pool for those morning laps, and featuring a games room for your entertainment.

When sleep calls, freshen up in one of the two ground-floor bathrooms, before cosying up in one of the four well-presented bedrooms, choosing between a king-size with en-suite shower room, a twin with en-suite shower room, a ground-floor super-king-size (zip/link can be twin on request), and ground-floor twin.

When the sun is shining, enjoy alfresco dining in the enclosed patio space.

The local area is filled with things to do, and with the property resting in the Hartland Devon Heritage Coast, it is no wonder there is a surplus of scenic walks along the coast.

Hartland offers a pub and convenience store for your essentials, and local attractions include Docton Mill Gardens & Tea Rooms, Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall, and Hartland Abbey.

Further afield you will find Bideford, offering a local beach and Bideford Railway Heritage Centre, and Westward Ho! which is home to watersports activities.

There is no shortage of things to do with a stay at the wonderful Horseshoe Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

HARTLAND

Meddon 5.5 miles.

The village of Hartland, whose parish includes the hamlet of Stoke to the west and the village of Meddon in the south, is the most northwesterly settlement in the county of Devon, England. The town of Hartland is remote and hosts many craft shops and potteries in addition to cafés and restaurants. There is a long main street, with cottages either side, leading to the town square and the church of St John. Enjoy views of the coastline in the British Isles from Hartland Point. There are many vantage points, accessible by car or on foot, from which you can admire views of the coast. Not far away is Hartland Quay, with much to see and available accommodation. A local Shipwreck Museum is certainly worth a visit.
