The Experience

Unwind in this secluded spot close to Hartland Abbey and a superb stretch of the South West Coast Path. Come for silence and hooting owls, for fresh Atlantic air and starry skies. Wander through ancient woodland to Hartland, head for Hartland Quay, for a high-tide swim below gigantic cliffs and a pint at The Wreckers Retreat. Return to gaze out to the sea beyond the tower of St Nectan’s church, soak and steam in the spa room or hunker down by the wood-burner.

Children run free in the play area and love helping to feed the chickens and ducks. Stroll with them down to Hartland Abbey House and gardens, Docton Mill gardens too are lovely – so are their cream teas. You’ll find barbecues outdoors and sunsets are often stunning.

Explore steeply cobbled Clovelly, and Lundy Island – a helicopter hop from the Point or a boat trip from Bideford. Kind owners live next door and if you want a wider family get-together there are other cottages.

Reviews

Alli & Steven, Hampshire

What a beautiful place for a mini break. We had an amazing stay with our 2 dogs in one of the cottages. We were so pleased with the accommodation, it had everything you need and more, a cosy cottage. Annie was delightful and couldn't do enough for us. Its set in gorgeous countryside, close to the sea and if like us your love a walking holiday you will be so pleased to discover this little gem. We will be back!

Martina, St. Gallen, Switzerland

We’ve spent a wonderful stay with our kids at Cheristow Cottages, a superb place! It’s peaceful, lovely, cosy, calm and an extremely well equipped cottage. There’s even a sauna and a hot tub. The hosting family is very nice and happy to take the kids feeding the animals on the farm, a precious experience for the kids. We’ve got very useful tips for sandy beaches and places to visit. Highly recommended!

Nick, Staffordshire

We recently spent a wonderful week in the Granary with our 5 and 3 year old children. Cheristow is located in a beautiful and unspoilt corner of North Devon, a great place to get away from it all. What sets Cheristow apart from typical self-catering cottages is how engaging it is for children. Our children loved feeding the chickens, ducks and piglets with Annie each day as well as being able to play with other children on the play equipment in the safety of the enclosed field. They were very sad to come home, a sure sign of a very happy holiday.

Tracey, Worcester

We had a totally relaxing stay in the Milking Parlour cottage - it was very well equipped, really clean and super cosy. The play area was great for the kids and the view of the sea from the patio was very pretty. Annie and her family made us feel very welcome and the children enjoyed feeding the animals and eating fresh eggs for breakfast! We did some lovely walks and enjoyed the stunning views whilst stopping off for a drink at the Wreckers Retreat. All in all, we would highly recommend.

We had such a fantastic time at Cheristow. Annie and Vicky were great hosts and on hand for any queries about the area- as well as daily chicken feeding which our son loved. Such a special spot looking down to the sea. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

Location

The neighbourhood

3 country miles' drive off the A39 and 1.5 miles from the South West Coast Path. It's a 20-minute cross-country walk to Hartland's small shops, café, pottery and pubs; the same to gastro Pattard Restaurant; it's 15 to Hartland Abbey Gardens. Hartland Quay and The Wreckers Retreat pub is 10 minutes' drive or 50 minutes' walk; Speke's Mill Waterfall is a further 30 minutes' coastal walk south.

Local points of interest from Annie Shillito

  • One of the most beautiful and dramatic stretches of the 630-mile South West Coast Path runs close by (about a 20-minute walk away) and we’re in a great spot for walkers to complete the sections from Westward Ho! to Bude
  • The beach at Hartland Quay is brilliant for rock-pooling, with sand at low tide. Other beaches on the Peninsula are wilder, wonderfully craggy and trickier to get to. For vast stretches of sand head south for SandyMouth and Bude, north to Northam
  • Hartland with its pubs, café, small shops and potteries is a 30-minute cross-country walk away. You can walk too to Pattard Restaurant, our nearest gastro-eatery. And in the extraordinary setting of Hartland Quay is the friendly Wreckers Retreat pub
  • Visit nearby Hartland Abbey and Gardens (open April-Sept) - and walk through the grounds and bluebell woods to the sea. Nearby Docton Mill Gardens are charming too and the RHS garden at Rosemoor is inspirational , as is Tapely Park, near Instow
  • The Burton Art Gallery in Bideford has the Ackland and Edwards Collection (the artists Judith Ackland and Mary Stella Edwards spent much time painting in the Cabin at Bucks Mills) and the Bideford Heritage Collection (and a good café).
  • 30-or so miles of the Tarka Trail between Braunton and Meeth are open to cyclists. The trail runs on disused railway tracks and provides a safe and pretty easy-going route through the North Devon countryside.

Introducing

Annie Shillito

In search of a joint family project Annie & Quentin and Vicky & Ian fell for Cheristow and in 2015 moved there - from Somerset and South Wales - with their children and dogs. Together they look after guests and cottages converted from the former farms' outbuildings. Easy-going themselves, they want people to have the best of relaxing times and are on hand to help and advise when needed.
