Fantastic cottage in a tranquil location

The booking process was very easy and the manager Martin was a great communicator throughout. The cottage was beautifully prepared and very comfortable. Everything so clean. Beds really comfortable. Cream tea provided which was a lovely touch and lots of helpful information in the cottage helped us prepare great days out. The location of the cottage is beautiful - lots of wildlife to see and pretty views from the private patio area. Hartland village is a short drive away (you can walk) and it has a well stocked shop for supplies, a post office, 2 great pubs serving good food and a coffee shop. Free parking to access these venues. If you want to go further afield, most interesting places can be accessed via the A39 which is close by. I would recommend Yapham Cottages. Customer comfort and enjoyment is clearly important to the manager who could not have been more helpful and available.

Perfect! Beautiful, peaceful location

Shipload Cottage was absolutely perfect in every way. It is exactly as described on here. It was spotlessly clean and welcoming, even though certain items, I am told, had been removed due to Covid19. It’s a very quirky little cottage, with the kitchen and en-suite bedroom downstairs and the main bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Everything you need in the kitchen is there and the addition of a table top freezer is very handy. The hot water is plentiful and a nice soak in the bath, after an extremely long journey down from the Midlands, was most welcome. We sat out most evenings on the little patio area, taking in the beautiful views over the fields. Their woodlands, unfortunately, were not open to walk through which was a shame, but even though the cottage is very remote, you can easily get anywhere in Devon from it. The village of Hartland is a couple of miles down the road and a pleasant walk if you’re up to it. The beach at Hartland Quay was stunning. It’s very rocky, but can be walked over in strong shoes. We were blessed to have had good weather which just made the whole view there quite spectacular - especially the way the rocks had worn away over the years! Very rugged, but breathtaking. Clovelly is about 3.5 miles away - we went with the intention of staying a couple of hours and then going on somewhere else, but there was so much to see we stayed all day, enjoying a jug of sangria on the quay. Clovelly village is a Heritage site and owned privately by a family. It is totally cobbled everywhere and the little streets down to the quay are very steep - although there is a landrover service to and from the village. We had a fantastic time in Devon, and going back each evening to Shipload Cottage was the icing on the cake! Martin, the manager was very helpful and if we needed anything, we only had to ask. We were so impressed with Shipload Cottage, we booked a two week stay there next Summer, too!!

Lovely week

Very clean and well presented cottage. Martin was very helpful when needed and the area is very quiet and peaceful. Ideal for a chilled, relaxing break. Handy for the main A39 trunk road to get to places in Devon and Cornwall, would highly recommend.

Lovely place, wonderful location

Truly a wonderful break, such delightful place to stay. I think we had literally everything we could have possibly needed. Cleanliness was second to none, the cottage was charming and quirky. I think we'll certainly be back!
