This property enjoys a fantastic location in the traditional village of Hartland in North Devon, famed for its 12th century abbey and surrounding gardens. The abbey makes a wonderful place to spend a day, with its stunningly maintained interiors, attractive gardens, and breath-taking coastal walk. The village itself, offers a range of craft shops, and a choice of restaurants and cafes, meaning that guests can easily choose to eat in or out whilst staying at the property.

This is a lovely property, was beautifully warm despite the gales outside. Was very well equipped, we ate all meals at the bungalow so did cook. There is a lovely sun room if weather was warmer. Hosts were very helpful in all my interactions. Would definitely stay again.

Overall the bungalow is ideal for us being near the village and amenities.The improvements already made are welcome and as I stated in the visitors book if the beds were replaced with comfortable ones and the few changes made as above it would be first rate and would make the bungalow even more desirable.As you get older comfort comes higher in oneRead more's list of priorities .I want to be as comfortable and have at least as good facilities as I have at home when I am on holiday.

Loved it, perfect for us as we come to this area alot! Watch for the magic pocket on the pool table, balls are mysteriously attracted to it! Open plan living room and dining area with conservatory which was great for teenage son (could plug console into tv there) thinking of rebooting for next year!

Cleaned to a very high standard, the bungalow is a perfect retreat. Comfy beds, ample seating, lovely conservatory and big garden. (Had multiple visits from a blackbird and his wife, and a pair of goldfinches!) So peaceful there, locals friendly, fish and chips were great! Would definitely recommend and hopefully will be back in the future.
