Spacious and Characterful 3 bedroom Detached Barn Conversion close to coast.

Philham Parlour is a beautifully detached converted barn, well-appointed and offering spacious accommodation. 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.
Please note that in high season (1st April to 30th September) our changeover day is a Saturday. There are out of season short breaks are available. There is also a two bedroom option during the low season that is priced accordingly. Please see our other listing reference 10938159 for prices and availability.

Great rural location, spacious base
Warm welcome on arrival, comfortable base, visited Bude, Hartland Quay, Westward Ho. Dartington glassworks a bit of a highlight, along with those scones, cream and jam.

Lovely break with friends
This property was ideal for our annual get together (5 ladies). Three well appointed bedrooms, all en-suite. A very well equipped kitchen and warm and cosy with central heating and a log burner. Ideally placed for various walks and close to pubs for bar meals or Sunday roast. Kris made us very welcome and her gift of a gluten free cream tea was much appreciated. The whole was spotlessly clean. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The perfect family break.
A very comfortable home with stunning views of rolling hills and high-hedged lanes. We absolutely loved it here - thank you Kris and Pete for sharing your paddock - our morning coffee will never be the same! We explored the area on foot - walking along the coastal path. The coastline is so beautiful and the locals so friendly. We hope to return soon!

Perfect Easter break
Fabulous weekend spent at the barn. 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!

Hidden gem!
We had a wonderful break at the Parlour in Hartland! The accommodation was immaculate, spacious and very well equipped. The welcome gift of a gluten free cream tea was a very thoughtful addition, and reflected the care put into the details to provide for an easy and enjoyable stay. We would highly recommend!

Happiness in Hartland
This property certainly had the wow factor. 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.

Thank you for your kind host
Kris and Pete are very kind and helpful providing us with useful local information and suggestions. 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!

Perfect countryside getaway
The website did not really tell the story properly. 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.

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.
