The Bear

The Bear is a wonderful historic cottage in a picturesque hamlet, just a mile from the dramatic north Devon coast at Hartland Quay. This family-sized holiday home is dog-friendly, has an enclosed garden and is in a setting that is all about walking and exploring the unspoilt countryside around Hartland Abbey on the Hartland peninsula and of course along the South West Coast Path.
The coastline here is one of cliffs, hidden coves, rock pools and beautifully clean sand at low tide. There are some fabulous sandy surfing beaches an easy drive away at Sandymouth and Welcombe Mouth just over the border with Cornwall, or at Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe beyond Barnstaple.
The cottage is filled with the character you would expect from a property with 16th Century origins and its intriguing name is a hint of its past importance to the village as a pub!
This spacious property has a really good-sized sitting-room with wood-burning stove in the inglenook fireplace and a snug that could be used as a cot-room. The kitchen has a range cooker and a lovely farmhouse table, and beyond it a door to the delightful cottage garden. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and en suite facilities in the main bedroom.
One of the bedrooms and a bathroom are on the ground floor making the cottage very flexible for different family groups.
