A family-owned former abbey with Jekyll-influenced gardens, a wild valley walk to the Atlantic cove and Malory Towers fame.
Hartland Abbey was founded in the 12th century and is still the home of the Stucley family. You can wander through the house at your own pace, taking in rooms from Medieval to Victorian times, with paintings, furniture and Chinese porcelain collected over generations. Exhibitions cover filming on the estate and the Stonehenge pioneer William Stukeley.
Tip: Hartland Quay is only a mile away, so it pairs well with a visit; the tea room needs a valid garden entry ticket.

A Regency house, a famous carriage collection and wide estate walks near Barnstaple in north Devon.
Arlington Court is a neoclassical country house, built in the 1820s and set in a picturesque garden. Inside, you can see the Chichester family's antique furniture and an eclectic collection of family memorabilia.

Explore the ruined medieval home of the Courtenays on a wooded ridge above the West Okement river.
Okehampton Castle is a ruined medieval castle on a wooded ridge above the swift-flowing West Okement river. It began as a Norman motte and bailey castle, and in the 14th century Hugh Courtenay developed it into a palatial home.

Tip: Wear sturdy footwear for the steps and uneven ground, and note that opening depends on volunteer availability, so it can close at short notice.

36 reviews from guests who stayed at Bideford Bay
Sofas were also uncomfortable. Everything else in chalet very good. Big fridge. Dishwasher. Very good overall.
Please see info on previous page. Detailing horrid smell, damp and mould
We were booked for 3 nights, but left after 1 night due to the uncleanliness of the chalet.Within seconds of entering the chalet we were met with an overwhelming smell of damp, an unhoovered mat and crisps under the sofa. Not to mention the brown used sponge on the door step.We went on to find mould in multiple locations, cobwebs, hair and dirt down the sides of the beds. The mattress on the double bed showed blood stained mattress through the sheet and did not even have a mattress topper.I asked your reception to move us, but was told there was no other accommodation available (even though your website said otherwise).It was the most disgusting accommodation I have ever stayed in and you should be ashamed to take people's money when the standards are so very low.
Only negative was that the shower door was not fully sealed which resulted in water on the floor. This was probably why there was a bit of a smell when the chalet had been closed. The beds were comfy
Nice & cleanPlenty of roomCould definitely do with bigger mirrors was tricky to get ready for a wedding.
great enjoyed our stay and would consider returning inthe future
We had a fantastic time at this charming cottage! The setting was so peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The hot tub was a real highlight and the place was spotless with all the essentials. Plenty of lovely walks nearby too. Highly recommend!
The cottage was stunning, with a lovely hot tub and cosy log burner. Hosts were really friendly and its so peaceful here. Well definitely be back for longer soon!
We had a lovely time staying in the Appledore chalet. Everything was super clean and the bed was so comfy, we slept really well. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking up meals and everyone we met was really friendly. The only downside was the TV; it pixelated quite a bit, which was a bit annoying sometimes. Still, overall a great holiday!
We needed a quick getaway and found this place spot on. The accommodation was lovely and the nearby pubs and fields made it perfect for walks. Our dog didnt want to leave either-absolutely loved it!
Great holidayGreat place to stay Amazing chalet
The owners were super friendly and really went above and beyond when the storm knocked out our power. The place was spotless, cosy and well kitted out. Our dog loved the secure garden and we enjoyed the hot tub! Its a lovely spot.
The owners really pay attention to detail, making everything so relaxing. We had a fantastic time and will tell friends!
The house was absolutely stunning, nestled in such a peaceful countryside spot. The courtyard with its slate panels looked lovely and the hot tub really made it feel special. Perfect for exploring local walks.
We had an absolutely lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was a real highlight and there are plenty of walks nearby to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our visit; the fields were beautiful and the dogs loved every minute of it.
We loved the place-beautiful, super clean, well-equipped and very comfy. The hot tub was the highlight!
We spent a lovely week here with our two small dogs and they really loved exploring the village of Thaxted and making new furry friends. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a definite highlight, especially during those scorching summer days-it was so nice to dip into cool water! The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Watching the planes land near Stansted was surprisingly enjoyable, adding a bit of entertainment to our evenings. Overall, wed definitely recommend for a relaxed getaway!
We just got back from a week at Goddards Mead and honestly, it was lovely. The cottage had everything we could think of and the hosts were super friendly. Even on a working farm, it felt peaceful and relaxing, like a little escape. Great stay!
We had such a lovely stay at this cosy spot nestled in a really peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but still maintained that lovely sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling - perfect! One thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!
We had a fantastic stay at this cottage! The place is super well-kept and offers everything you could need. The dog walks right outside were a real bonus and we loved meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig. The host was lovely, very responsive and made us feel really welcome. Definitely coming back, great value!
Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage had everything needed!
We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into restoring this historic building and it shows. They gave us a warm welcome and Bonnie was adorable. The place has everything you need for a relaxing break. The location is perfect - right in Essexs charm-filled countryside. We also enjoyed wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking up the history and stunning architecture. Would definitely recommend!
We loved the place, especially walking around the fields with our dogs-absolutely perfect day out!
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Its really well equipped, so we didnt need to bring anything and we actually overpacked because everything was provided. The welcome pack was super helpful, full of useful info and menus, which made settling in so easy. The little touches for our dogs and us were much appreciated. The enclosed garden was perfect for the pups and the hot tub was just the right touch after a long day. Sharon and RobeRead were quick to respond too. Great break altogether!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect-peaceful and away from the busy crowds. The hot tub was fantastic! Owners were friendly, not intrusive at all. Just right!
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The setting is so tranquil, with stunning views of the surrounding farml and. It was great to spot the horses nearby. The owners were really welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything. Perfect spot for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway, wed go back for sure!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway, though you should be prepared for some night-time plane noise from Stanstead. The hot tub was a highlight!
We just got back from a great four-night stay at this cosy cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being pushy, which we really appreciated. The big fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. Inside, everything was well-stocked and comfortable and we loved using the BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Were already planning to come back and have told our friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!
We had a lovely stay at this good place! The location is super peaceful and private, yet the owners are really welcoming and nearby if you need anything. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - perfect for relaxing. Just a heads up, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great place to unwind!
My family Absolutely loved our holiday location was amazing and the views over the ocean ??
We stayed in an 8 berth, 3 bedroom caravan. It was immaculate when we arrived. Also, despite us arriving early we were able to access the caravan straight away which was really nice.
My only slight complaint (more of a feedback than complaint), is that a caravan which sleeps up to 8 people needs to have more kitchen utensils and crockery available! There were 7 of us and to cook pasta for dinner, the three small saucepans still weren't enough! Please consider equipping vans with larger capacity reflecting this!
The site is on a steep hill, however this WAS mentioned on the website when booking and did not negatively affect us, aside from giving us a bit of a workout!
Staff were all friendly especially the pool lifeguards who were really chatty and nice.
The swimming pools!!!! Oh the swimming pools!!! The outdoor pool was like being abroad (we were lucky with the weather). I can't recommend it enough.
A really nice park and we would definitely visit again and rave to our friends about it. Thank you for a lovely short break! Xx
Had a good week away at an affordable price. (out of school holidays).
DID NOT EAT IN THE RESTAURANT. SCORES TO REFLECT THIS.
Lovely location. Clean Lodge. Quiet, well kept grounds.
Single mum 4 kids aged 10 months to 12 years we were luckily enough to be close to the main area and the pool and shop wasn't too far away the park was fab my kids absolutely loved it. The area for the show was pretty small but again kids seemed to enjoy it. Staff were helpful when I needed them and very patient in the arcades waiting for my very indecisive kids choosing their winnings
the lodge was lovely lots of space. helpful that there was a washing machine and dishwasher with 2 small children. lots of space for them to play. wish there had of been a gate on the veranda like some of the others had as our littlest couldn't go outside as he would have fallen down the steps but it was fine.
