You’ll have many opportunities to explore the wild and rugged Atlantic coast of North Devon when you stay at this spacious bungalow. Located in the charming, coastal village of Hartland, the property is perfect for those looking for an outdoor adventure, with plenty of craggy cliffs to traverse along the South West Coast Path. At home, you and your family or friends can enjoy relaxing afternoons in the enclosed garden and spend fun-filled evenings in the games room.

A conservatory oozing with sunlight is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the morning sun, as is the bright and fresh living space. The kitchen offers an extensive area for cooking up a storm, and the table in the roomy dining area is perfect for sampling the hearty supper you have just prepared. Sleeping arrangements are covered by a double room with en-suite, a twin and a cosy single. To the rear of the property is an enclosed garden and patio where you can enjoy the last of the evening sunshine, although if it's some family fun you're after or friendly competition, then head to the fantastic games room which has its own pool table, darts board and table football.

Within the village of Hartland itself and close by there are numerous points of interest. Hartland Abbey, a 12th-century country house is a 2-mile drive away and Hartland Quay is also just 2 miles from the property. Slightly further afield, you can find several of North Devon's finest beaches – Westward Ho! (15 miles), Instow (16 miles) and Bude (15 miles) all guarantee a fun day out for the whole family.

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.
