Notes on accommodation
All cottages have central heating, TV/DVD and CD player. I have included lots of personal touches. Luxury toiletries, boxed games, books, maps, tide timetables, selection of local teas and coffees. The cottages are located down our private half mile drive so are completely safe for children, plus we have a large paddock with a toy box. Guests are very welcome to walk around the seven acres which includes a two acre ancient woodland and orchard and stile to take you into neighbouring fields where, when dry, you can walk to the sea or just admire the fantastic coastal views. We also keep a small stock locally produced meals in the freezer plus small tubs of locally made luxury ice-cream. We have a return rate of over 65% and have won several recent awards for our cottages. We look forward to welcoming you to this stunning coastal area of North Devon in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Please do contact me if I can be of further help.
Accessibility
Our cottages are located on the slopes of an ancient wooded valley so although not very steep, it is not recommended for wheelchair users. However, access via our steps is suitable for elderly guests as handrails and lighting are provided.
We are very proud that over 65% of our guests return to Yapham or recommend us to their friends. We hope that you too will consider staying in this very beautiful, unspoilt area of North Devon.
Outside
Yapham cottages are quite unique. We would challenge you to find a better location in the area, as the views across the valley and towards the sea are magnificent. The cottages are set in landscaped gardens within five acres of grounds. We have no near neighbours so it is very tranquil at all times, although we are only two miles from the bustling village of Hartland with its shops, schools and pubs. The Hart pub is in the Michelin Guide 2009 and the food here is quite outstanding. Each cottage has either its own garden or terrace with garden furniture and lovely views of the surrounding countryside and sea. Guests are most welcome to stroll around our gardens, through our orchard and two-acre woodland and along our drive to look at all the wonderful views that surround us. We now have access to a new farm trail which you can pick up from Yapham. This is a new (May 2010) venture for the local farmer to give anyone the opportunity of walking through some glorious, unspoilt countryside.
Coast/Beach
The easiest way to access the coast is by a five minute drive to Brownsham.
The Hartland Peninsula has 12 miles of spectacular coastline so lots of beaches to explore, from sandy beaches to rock pools at the Quay and magnificent waves for surfing. Swimming is very safe on lots of the local beaches but the area is also renowned for its surfing. Magnificent rugged cliffs, spectacular waterfalls
Golf
We have several excellent golf courses on our doorstep, from Hartland Forest Golf Club to the oldest links course in England at Westward Ho! One championship course at Saunton Sands plus two further local courses at Bude and Holsworthy.
Special interest holidays
Enjoy walking? The area is a walkers' paradise. The 17,000 acres of the Hartland Peninsula offer a landscape of wonderful contrasts; high open moorland and ancient woodland give way to coastal waterfalls tumbling from hanging valleys onto rocky shores. In addition, you can walk a new two- mile farm trail right on the doorstep of Yapham and see a myriad of flora and fauna. Enjoy fishing? We have exclusive use of a one and half acre fishing lake within walking distance of our cottages. The lake is teaming with fish for coarse fisherman to enjoy and there is no extra charge for this activity. We can also provide picnic hampers for you to enjoy whilst fishing. Please contact us on 01237441916 for further details. On honeymoon? Why not try our Romantic Hideaway Break available most of the year? Enjoy champagne, roses, beautiful decorated chocolate and strawberry cake. Please see our own website for further details under our Special Breaks section.

Lovely welcome. Extremely helpful host. Fantastic cottage and splendid area to visit.
I adored the little touches. So welcoming. Tranquil cottage away from phones and emails. We both have demanding jobs and the peacefulness was what we both needed. We think this break was life changing for us.

Our ten month old daughter loved exploring the countryside, the safe gardens Perfect break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We will be back.
Lovely cottage for our first holiday with our new baby, very relaxing. Had a great time.

Owner profile
About the owner
I came to Yapham Cottages in June 2011. It is so peaceful and relaxing. It is just like being on a permanent holiday!
I take great pleasure in welcoming our guests to Yapham Cottages. It is great chatting with the guests, and I really enjoy listening about the places they have visited whilst staying here. I can then share the "little gems" they have discovered with new guests.
I am delighted to say that many of my guests often become good friends, and keep coming back to visit us. Two couples have already been back twice since I took over, and they have already booked two more visits in 2012! I am also developing social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Guests enjoy keeping in touch with what is happening here at Yapham Cottages this way.
Year purchased: 2011
Why the owner chose a home in this location
What a difference moving to Yapham has made to my life! After the hectic bustle of life living near London, Devon is completely different. Life is much more sedate. No more traffic jams, pollution, or people rushing back and forth. Everything is so much more relaxed. It is just like being on a permanent holiday!
The people in Hartland are very welcoming, nothing is any trouble. They go out of their way to help.
It really is a great location. If you are looking for peace and tranquillity, this is it. The only other visible neighbour, is the farm on the opposite side of the lovely valley.
And yet the A39 is only a short drive away, giving easy access to Bude, Bideford, and Barnstaple. The Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks are within easy driving distance.
Unique benefits of the property
There are two fantastic reasons to stay with us at Yapham Cottages.
The first one is that it is a great place to come and chill out. You can leave work behind and just relax in your cottage. The cottages are in a quiet and secluded location. There is no traffic noise here. At night you can almost touch the stars up in the sky. You can take a walk through the orchard, stroll through our ancient woodland, or picnic in our paddock.
The Hartland Peninsula is a walker's paradise, with the South West Coast Path right on our doorstep. There is a never ending list of places to visit. Hartland Abbey and Docton Mill are both nearby. Each cottage contains guides for the local area, and further beyond in Devon and Cornwall.
You will never be left wondering, "What can we do today?"
