The location is a grand one: just above spectacular Hartland Quay. The bedrooms of this
long-established hotel are plain, but who cares. You're here for the view and most rooms
look out onto a swirling sea. Locals pack the hotel's lively, friendly Wreckers Retreat Bar,
which serves up no-nonsense pub grub (mains £9).

Design styles at this cluster of beautifully converted former farm buildings range from
country-cottage with beams, to more minimalistic lines. Each luxury pad gets unlimited
use of the spa next door, so you can take a dip in the indoor or outdoor heated pools,
sizzle in the sauna, then book a massage (from £30) in one of the candle-lit, fragranced
treatment rooms. The village of Hartland and the North Devon shore are both around a
mile away.
Getting There & Away
Bus 319 (four daily Monday to Saturday) goes to Hartland village from Bideford (40
minutes) and Barnstaple, via Clovelly.
