Philham Water Cottage, near Hartland, north Devon

This iconic thatched cottage is located in countryside recognised for its’ outstanding natural beauty, and it has everything you could dream of for a getaway. The privacy and peace is broken only by birdsong and the babbling brook that runs alongside the garden, reaching Spekes Mill Mouth two miles away, where it falls over a waterfall into the sea. The rustic charm of this Elizabethan cottage includes original cob&wattle walls, flagstone floors and a huge stone fireplace with a wood burner.  During the day, the SouthWest Coast Path provides hiking north and south alongside the dramatic coastline.  For dinner, if you don’t want to take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen in the cottage, head to the Wreckers Retreat at Hartland Quay or the Anchor Pub in Hartland. The cottage sleeps two (plus two at a pinch.)
