stayinhartland @ Quincecote shepherds hut

10/10 Excellent
"A truly excellent and charming location. A charming, independent garden outside with a fire pit, table, and chairs. The interior is even more magnificent, well-maintained, and above all, equipped with everything you need... meticulously crafted. The table that converts to a bed was a simple but brilliant idea, the bathroom is enormous for a cabin, and the stove is truly wonderful. The only downside is the very narrow road leading to it; unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it... but it's definitely worth it!"

3 bedroom accommodation in Hartland

10/10 Excellent
"Had a lovely week at this well equipped, clean and homely barn. Spacious, with several seating areas, high quality furniture and a lovely outdoor space which gets the midday sun. Would highly recommend. Need a car although can walk to the coast path. Only downside were the pillows which were very thin, but we didn’t use all the beds so could stack spare pillows on top. Also to note that to get to the property you have to drive down a few miles of single lane track, was fine for us, especially as we loved the remote spot but aware some may not like."
