A very characterful and sweet cottage in a great location. Lovely walks on the doorstep and communication with the host was excellent and he made great efforts to make recommendations. Lovely village within walking distance and Hartland Abbey was delightful and also walkable. Gorgeous coastline and beaches within easy reach. Hartland Quay was very enjoyable. Cottage was purposefully left to reflect its time and character but some things I felt could have been cleaned to a higher standard. I appreciate damp is difficult to address but meant carpets were mouldy in places and there were many cobwebs left in easy to access areas. Towels were not clean. No Wi-Fi which was fine for us but hotspot provided did not work. I expect this could have been resolved with owner but it was not too important for us.
