We have just had a lovely stay at Cheristow. There are a number of cottages situated on a lovely non working farm just outside Hartland. The cottages are very comfortable and cosy and are fully equipped. There is also private use of a hot tub and sauna.
Annie and Vickey are really lovely and are on hand with helpful information about the local area etc. They have their own chickens and pigs on the farm and lovely Annie let us help feed them, which I loved doing. There are lots of things to do and see nearby. Clovelly being only about miles away. The local village of Hartland has 3 fantastic
