A converted cowshed near the Devonshire coastline, set in 20 acres of private woodland and meadow just a short walk from the pubs and shops of the nearby village, and 3 miles from the nearest beach. Dog friendly, family friendly, this is one of three retreats on site with its own hot tub, cinema screen and pizza oven.
Tucked away in a peaceful valley on the Harland Peninsula, this collection of woodland retreats spans 20 acres of private woodland and meadow within North Devon's stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a short walk from Hartland village and Quay. The luxury glamping site features two treehouses and a converted cowshed, offering an idyllic setting for romantic escapes, family vacations, and dog-friendly stays. The site has received numerous prestigious accolades, including Gold Awards from Visit England, the South West Tourism Awards, and the Devon Tourism Awards, with special recognition for its dedication to ethical, responsible, and sustainable tourism practices. It also holds Green Tourism Gold status. Guests can tailor their stay with a range of personalized experiences, from private dining and soothing massages to homemade pizzas and unlimited popcorn.
Guests can immerse themselves in the beauty of 20 acres of scenic trails, meandering through wildflower meadows, woodlands, and alongside the river. Hartland village, just a 10-minute walk away, offers a charming selection of pubs, shops, and a pottery, while Pattard Restaurant is only a 5-minute stroll. For those drawn to the coast, Hartland Quay—with its dramatic cliffs, scenic trails, and a small beach—is just 3 miles away. Within a 15-mile radius, you'll find an array of stunning beaches, including Sandymouth, Westward Ho!, and Summerleaze. A short 15-minute walk takes you to Hartland Abbey and Gardens, a historic stately home nestled in a breathtaking spot on the northwest Devon coast. Nearby, Clovelly, with its steep cobbled streets and picturesque fishing cottages, has been named the UK’s most Instagrammable village. Food lovers will be delighted by the nearby selection of acclaimed restaurants, and for those seeking adventure, the area offers a wealth of activities—from the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway and The Big Sheep family attraction to a honey farm, wakeboarding, aquaparks, surfing, cycling, and hiking.
