“The cottage was OK, we were aware the owners may not be there and if the case key would be in the door and this was the case.”

It was disappointing that having read previous reviews there was no welcome pack like we had had in other cottages. The property would benefit from a banister attached to the wall re the staircase. The information folder read more like a rules and regulation folder which was off putting, most people renting a cottage would be respectful anyway and not leave appliances on or the heating on unless needed. The TV was rather temperamental as either the aerial needed adjusting or the TV was in its ...

It was disappointing that having read previous reviews there was no welcome pack like we had had in other cottages. The property would benefit from a banister attached to the wall re the staircase. The information folder read more like a rules and regulation folder which was off putting, most people renting a cottage would be respectful anyway and not leave appliances on or the heating on unless needed. The TV was rather temperamental as either the aerial needed adjusting or the TV was in its way out as there was a lot of interference on it in the evenings. The fridge freezer was also noisy and could be heard downstairs in the bedroom. The location was peaceful and lovely views across the fields. Only approach via the road from Great Torrington which is opposite the church as all other approaches the roads are very poor quality and really shake the car and occupants.

“Our second visit and equally enjoyable.”

Wonderful location for peace and quiet. Found 2 interesting local sites to explore on foot (short walks) - the reservoir which can be walked around (and fished I believe, with rod licence), though take great care with children, and a site of historical interest (left down the lane a short distance to a parking area and sign though no need to take the car!). A shortish walk through the woods to the site itself (red markers no longer present). Information boards explain history. Otherwise property location is perfect from which to explore coastal locations north and west. Accommodation well appointed. Friendly and helpful owners.

Hugh June 2024

“This is is a lovely property with extensive views over the surrounding countryside.”

The interior is tastefully decorated and well equipped. The hosts were helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. A comprehensive information guide is provided with tourist leaflets, books and DVDs for rainy days. The cottage is well located for exploring the coast, moors and Devon countryside.

- Hugh, June 2024
Karen June 2024

“Lovely place to stay for a relaxing week surrounded by countryside and seaside towns.”

Very welcoming and helpful owners. Nothing to fault other than some surrounding roads are VERY narrow indeed and only semi paved so only really suitable for off road vehicles. (Avoid the approach via Gas Lane!)

“Probably the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in We could not improve on anything .”

“We had an excellent holiday at Hartland View.”

The owners were friendly but not overbearing and the cottage itself was comfortable, clean and cozy.

Colin August 2023

“It’s a lovely cottage.”

The only thing that we struggled with was not having a bannister on the left wall just would make going up the corner bits of the stairs easier. Other than that we had an amazingly relaxing stay the cottage is lovely and nice and cosy warm.

- Colin, August 2023
Dorcas August 2023

“We had a lovely week at Hartland View.”

We loved the “upside down” layout - the views from the open plan living area upstairs are fab! It’s incredibly peaceful yet 10 minutes from Great Torrington and a good range of shops. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We’ll be back next year!

- Dorcas, August 2023
Jane June 2023

“The Cottage is very comfortable, home from home, very well equipped we couldn’t fault it.”

Nice peaceful setting with lovely country views.

- Jane, June 2023
Peter June 2023

“We were looking for a quiet countryside base but with good accessibility to the North and North-West coasts.”

The cottage provided that with the bonus of genuine comfort. Very happy with our choice. This was a deliberately planned relaxed holiday, not trying to get to all the attractions in one visit, so it was important the cottage could provide a peaceful and attractive setting in its own right. It ticked all the boxes and we enjoyed our experience. Recommended.

“Enormous thanks to Phil and Ann for making our stay at Hartland View so enjoyable.”

A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting!

Patricia March 2022

“Beautiful cottage well equipped in lovely area.”

This was spoilt for us with heating being set for Summertime and presuming you are out all day Only hot water in the morning so no shower in the evening available. No chair in the bedroom so where do you put what you are wearing on the floor?? We won’t be returning Why not charge a little more to cover cost of electricity

- Patricia, March 2022

The heating and the hot water are fully automatic and timed for our guests convenience however, these can be overridden should further heat or hot water be required, usually verbal instructions are given as they arrive and written instructions are in the cottage in the information pack. Any guest having any issues with any aspect of the cottages can come to the farmhouse where we will endeavour to resolve them. Property Owner

“Lovely comfy cottage in a nice quiet remote setting but near enough to get out and about the area.”

- Jill, September 2021
Alexandra July 2021

“The area where the cottage is situated is extremely quiet and it has lovely views from the top floor of the house.”

A nice barn conversion that was very comfortable. Wonderful sunsets and caught a glimpse of Lundy Island from the top of the lane leading down to the cottage.

- Alexandra, July 2021
Peter July 2021

“We really enjoyed staying at Hartland View, it’s a lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break.”

Very clean and tidy, no problems with access and only a few minutes drive from the town. Yes I would recommend staying and yes I would return.

Tracey June 2019

“The cottage was delightful, cosy yet had every thing we needed.”

The owner came to see us on the first morning to explain some details to us and couldn’t have been more helpful. We woke to the sounds of birds chirping and sheep bleating...a refreshing change to car noises!

- Tracey, June 2019
Mary October 2018

“This Cottage was very comfortable and warm.”

The views from windows were beautiful. Lots to do in this area . But it was great to get home to our own bed! Mattress was a little tired in double room. Cream tea to welcome us. Thank you. Very helpful owners.

- Mary, October 2018
Peter October 2018

“A lovely welcome from the owner by leaving some scones jam and clotted cream for our arrival.”

- Peter, October 2018
Karen September 2018

“It was a lovely quiet break all that you need for a self catering hoilday was there for us such a lovely pretty cottage to stay in.”

I will be recommending this place to other people. Like to stay longer next time it was quite a short break. Regards karen.

- Karen, September 2018
Caroline May 2018

“It was a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Everything was perfect apart from one small thing. We were unable to use the dvd player as neither us or the owner could get it to play. He was going to fix it, but didn't. It would have been very useful on our one wet day.

- Caroline, May 2018
Stephen October 2016

“The cottage was wonerdful, obviously built to a high specification.”

It was warm, cosy and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable and together with the quiet surroundings, I had the best nights sleep I have had in years! We were fortunate enough to visit when there was no moon in the sky, because of the cottages location, the milky way was clearly visible in the sky at night, unfortunately there are not many places left in the uk where you can see nature at it's most awesome.

- Stephen, October 2016
Pam October 2016

“A most comfortable and well equipped cottage providing us with a peaceful rural base.”

- Pam, October 2016
Jennifer October 2016

“We had a good time, the hosts are lovely and it's a great place to stay - the only reason it doesn't have a full smiley face regarding facilities is that we always book a place where internet/wifi is available.”

We won't go anywhere that has not wifi because we use internet photo editing software, I have to be in touch with my work and for many other reasons. We were very disappointed (and had to use my husband's phone as a hot spot for two days) because the internet was patchy and intermittent - you can get internet but you have to be in a certain place in the building which isn't useful if you want to use your laptop to edit photos that you've taken! The laptop doesn't easily perch on the lovely beams!! But having said all that, we would like to reiterate that the place is beautiful and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. We did speak to them about this issue and they told us how they hope to resolve the issue in the near future. That would make it a 10/10!

Joanne August 2016

“Cottage and location was beautiful, couldn't fault anything.”

The open plan upstairs living was really nice with views over the fields.

- Joanne, August 2016
David April 2016

“The peace and countryside views, together with the quality of accommodation.”

This is a delightful barn conversion with every possible convenience. The upside-down nature of the building gives a splendid outlook towards Torrington with stunning sunsets.

- David, April 2016
Andy October 2015

“Relaxing & peaceful (despite having two kids with us!”

). Plenty to do in the surrounding area, would definitely consider visiting again.

- Andy, October 2015

“The cottage was finished to a high standard, comfortable and relaxing.”

- Laura, June 2014
John June 2014

“Liked the peace and quiet, the glorious views, the sunsets, eating on the patio every evening and the friendliness of the owners, without being at all intrusive.”

Very good value for money. It really was a lovely place to come back to after a long day out. A real home from home!

- John, June 2014
Christine April 2014

“We all enjoyed staying at Hartland View, it was peaceful with good countryside views.”

The beds were very comfortable and the owners very welcoming. I liked the modern décor, watching the chickens and loved all the spring flowers. We all enjoyed our visit to Rosemoor Gardens, and other attractions in the area, there was plenty to do despite the changeable weather.

- Christine, April 2014
Carol March 2014

Margaret Midge August 2013

“Fabulous accommodation.”

The owners have put in a massive amount of work and clearly take pride in what is offered to their guests. The accommodation was to a very high standard and the owners were extremely helpful. Thank you.

- Margaret Midge, August 2013
John July 2013

“The views are fantastic.”

The cottage is extremely comfortable with plenty of space. Although it is in a tranquil spot, it is very easy to reach the coast and other attractions. It was just what we needed to rest and recharge the batteries, and would have no hesitation in returning to Hartland View, or in recommending it to family and friends.
