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

Gary, London

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay for 5 nights in April with one of the warmest welcomes we have ever received. Still warm fresh baked scones and clotted cream, fresh cut flowers and Annie was most helpful in recommending places to visit and what do do. The cottages were stunning and it was a truly blissful stay in a beautiful part of Devon. Myself, my 6 months pregnant girlfriend and Springer Spaniel will certainly be back! We can't recommend it enough.


Laura, Bristol

Our stay at the Milky Parlour was delightful! We were warmly welcomed by Annie who took her time to recommend some places for us to visit. The sitting room is very cosy and warm, with its log fire, the bedrooms very comfortable. There is a terrace overlooking the endless garden that, if you are lucky, will offer you a breathtaking view of the sunset. We had such a lovely time walking along the coastline and saw stunning places thanks to Annie’s great knowledge of the area. We cannot wait to come back!


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.
