Shipload Cottage

About this property

Shipload Cottage is one of three delightful holiday cottages nestled within peaceful grounds in the beautiful Devon village of Hartland. Whether you're dreaming of coastal adventures, lazy beach days, scenic countryside walks, or simply a relaxing getaway with your favourite people (and dogs!), Shipload Cottage is the perfect place to make yourself at home. Sleeping up to four guests, this charming retreat is ideal for couples, families, friends, and their four-legged companions looking to explore the very best of North Devon. From dramatic cliff-top walks and hidden coves to cosy pubs and quaint villages, there's something to discover around every corner. Step inside and settle into the welcoming sitting room, where you can kick off your walking boots, sink into the sofa, and enjoy a movie night after a day of exploring. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a hearty breakfast before heading out or a delicious supper to enjoy together around the dining table while planning tomorrow's adventures.

When the weather calls for outdoor living, throw open the door and head out to the lovely garden and sun terrace. Enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh Devon air, fire up the conversation over an alfresco meal, or simply sit back, relax, and soak up the peaceful surroundings. As the day comes to an end, treat yourself to a long soak in the bath or a refreshing shower before retreating to one of two inviting bedrooms, comprising a comfortable double and a cheerful twin room, perfect for recharging ahead of another day of holiday fun. With stunning coastline, endless walking routes, family attractions, dog-friendly days out, and the charming village amenities of Hartland all within easy reach, Shipload Cottage is your gateway to unforgettable Devon adventures and memories you'll be talking about long after you've returned home.

Just one mile out of the village situated within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies Hartland Abbey, where visitors can peruse the stunning collection of paintings and porcelain before relaxing in the Abbey's beautiful gardens. Alternatively the nearby coastal headland of Berry Head, with its dramatic cliffs and coves, offers excellent walking and nature watching opportunities. The pretty, car-free village of Clovelly lies just five miles away and is renowned for its flower-strewn cottages, steep cobbled streets, 14th century harbour and The Milky Way Adventure Park, home to Devon's biggest rollercoaster, whilst a short drive leads to another fun-packed and educational family day out at The Big Sheep, a fantastic adventure park. The unspoilt coastal resorts of Bude, Bideford and Instow are both within 15 miles making this a superb base for a varied and enjoyable holiday.
