Netherton Farm - Location

Peacefully situated within glorious rural countryside just 3 miles from the breathtaking North Devon Coast.

Netherton Farm self-catering Cottages are perfectly set away from it all, yet only three minutes drive from the A39 Atlantic Highway, with easy access to all areas of North Devon and into North Cornwall.

The village of Hartland is a 25 minute stroll away offering a post office, a café, 2 well stocked shops for provisions, a fish & chip shop and the village also boasts the choice of 3 popular dog-friendly pubs serving good food.

No through traffic, just countryside, sweeping views, tranquillity, seclusion, and at night, extraordinarily mesmerising starlit skies.

Located on our farm with horses, donkeys, sheep, chickens and ducks within the rugged Hartland Peninsula, Netherton is the ideal base to explore this unspoiled area of North Devon and Cornwall, the South West Coast Path, and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Set 12 minutes drive from Clovelly fishing village, 20 minutes from Appledore, Westward Ho! Bideford Town and The Tarka Trail, and 25 minutes from the broad sandy beaches in Bude.

Being situated in one of North Devon’s finest rural and coastal areas, our cottages are the perfect retreat for those who enjoy walking, cycling, photography, star-gazing, nature spotting, unspoiled beaches and also wish to bring their four legged friends along too.

Guests can enjoy the elevated view through the juiliette balconies from the first floor lounge of our fields, and far reaching over the adjoining countryside beyond. Why not relax with a coffee and lazily watch the donkeys playing together, sheep grazing, the toing and froing of the horses or watch the buzzards soaring above. And in the evening sit back with a glass of wine and admire the grandstand view of the sunset.

Star quality!

• North Devon is one of England's darkest night sky areas - perfect for star-gazing.

• We see thousands of stars overhead compared with only a handful whilst in towns or cities.

• View the Milky Way in all its glory, along with distant galaxies, sparkling star clusters and meteor showers.

• Our dark skies are also good for nocturnal wildlife like owls and moths.
