Ivy Cottage at Downe Cottages is a comfortable two-bedroom self-catering holiday cottage in North Devon, sleeping up to four guests. Set on the Hartland Peninsula, it’s a great base for couples, friends, or small families looking for sea air, coastal walks, and a slower pace.

The cottage combines character and comfort, with welcoming interiors and practical space for longer stays as well as short breaks. Outside, you’re surrounded by beautiful North Devon countryside and close to the dramatic coastline, with easy access to local beaches, cliff paths, and village amenities around Hartland.

Guests at Ivy also benefit from access to shared on-site facilities at Downe Cottages, including the spa and gym, plus extensive grounds and gardens. That means you can mix active days exploring the coast with quieter time back at the cottage.

Why they chose this property

Nearly thirty years ago, our lives changed when we first came to the Hartland Peninsula, one of England’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by sea and nature in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we felt an immediate sense of deep relief, a complete contrast to the rhythm of our lives in London. We wanted to hold onto that feeling and share it with others.

Downe is rooted in this extraordinary location, a testament to the peninsula’s staggering beauty. We are just a ten-minute walk from the cliffs and pebbled beaches, beautiful in summer and rugged, wild, and invigorating in winter. Hosting here is about giving guests space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what matters.
