Description from owner
Description
Our three self-catering holiday cottages are located on the Hartland Peninsula. This makes it a great location for walkers, hikers, and cyclists. The peninsula is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is part of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, contains or is near to four Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and is close to Lundy Island, England's only Marine Nature Reserve. This makes it a walkers' paradise. There are plenty of local walks on the Peninsula, taking in a wide range of breath-taking landscapes and views. The South West Coast Path is only a short distance away, enabling fantastic access to this Jurassic coastline. Pick up and forward on is available (with prior arrangement) for walkers exploring the South West Coast Path in stages.
Cyclists are also welcome at Yapham. We have access to NCN 3 & 27, plus the famous Tarka Trail is nearby. We can advise upon cycle hire, and have a cycle storage area on site.
Yapham makes an ideal location for getting away from it all. We are located on the side of a valley, in five acres of splendid grounds, including an orchard and paddock. The cottages are located at the end of our five hundred metre driveway, from the quiet country lane that connects the main Hartland road to Hartland Point. There is no light pollution, so on a clear night you feel as though you could almost touch the stars! Bird lovers will be delighted too. Each cottage has its own bird feeder, and you will marvel at the sheer number of birds visiting. You might even get to feed some of the pheasants that visit us. Peace and tranquillity is assured to our visitors.
Yapham is an ideal base to explore the many attractions of both Devon and Cornwall. In Hartland itself you have Hartland Quay with the Smugglers' Museum, Hartland Point Lighthouse, Hartland Abbey, and Docton Mill. The world famous village of Clovelly is only a ten minute drive away. Explore the shops in the Atlantic Village, Bideford, Barnstaple and Bude. If history is your thing, then there is no shortage of places of interest, with museums and heritage trails in Hartland and the nearby towns. For children you have The Big Sheep, Milky Way, Atlantic Village and Funderzone. Exmoor and Dartmoor are both within easy driving distance, as well as other local areas of natural beauty. Why not take the ferry or helicopter ride to Lundy Island? Each cottage has online guides to the many other local attraction and places to eat. You certainly won't be stuck for things to do!
Dogs are allowed in our cottages, although please be aware that there are additional terms and conditions.

Response from the owner Dear Chris K, Sorry for the late reply, but I have only just seen your review. Many thanks for writing such a positive review. Our gardens are not enclosed, but our very long drive means that dogs are safe from passing traffic, and makes a nice route for walkies. I'm delighted to read that you found the cottage to be well maintained and homely. I hope that you will stay with us again sometime. Kind regards, Martin.

“EXCELLENT”
We love the beautiful area of the Hartland Peninsular,the walks are stunning and we enjoyed many great walks. Hartland Abbey is well worth a visit and an outdoor theatre event there was much enjoyed. Nearby Bude provide many interesting things to do. We loved the seapool there especially. Our cottage at Winsbury was of exceptional quality.
