The West Country / Devon region

Hartland Forest Golf & Leisure Parc nestles close to the Atlantic coast of North Devon which is steeped in a tradition of smuggling and wrecking , and famous for its timeless fishing villages , including Hartland and Clovelly which is just 5 miles away . Renowned the world over for its flower strewn cottages and steep cobbled footpath falling to the 14th century harbour , Clovelly should not be missed by visitors to Devon whilst Hartland Quay and its incredible geological features and beauty so impressed Walt Disney that it formed the backdrop to the opening of his film of Robert Louis Stevenson's ' Treasure Island ' .

Lundy Island can be visited by boat from Clovelly or Bideford Quay and is populated by just a few souls , many seals and puffins .

For garden and historic house enthusiasts , a visit to Hartland Abbey , Tapeley House and Gardens , Arlington Court , RHS Rosemoor Gardens and Marwood Gardens would be worthwhile .

The Atlantic ( Factory Shopping ) Village on the outskirts of Bideford offers ' Retail Therapy ' and Dartington Crystal at Torrington is well worth a visit .

The Burton Art Gallery at Bideford exhibits a variety of local works and also varied touring shows

There are many local potteries and craft studios to be found in surrounding villages.

Just a short drive along the Cornish coast are Tintagel , Boscatle , Crackington Haven , Polzeath , Port Isaac ( where ' Doc Martin ' is filmed ) , Rock and Padstow . ( The latter notable for its association with Rick Stein's eateries and as a former home to Sir Walter Raleigh - not necessarily in that order ! ) .

The whole of the Devon and Cornwall coastline is easily accessible from the lodge and offers unsurpassed holiday attractions for adults and children alike , throughout the year .

Guestbook

David

We throughly enjoyed the lodge! It was perfect for our needs and one of the best examples of holiday accommodation we've ever stayed in. Our friends were more than happy with the cot and highchair . We will be recommending the lodge to anyone we know.

Thanks

Maria

David,

In addition to my wife's comments , I can say I was mad about the place myself !
Loved the interior set up and the location. I'm a keen golfer and it looked like millionaire's golf out there .

Dear David

Holiday lodge was excellent-clean and nicely presented. Weather was lovely from
the Tuesday onwards and really felt we had a good break . We had a lovely time and the
accommodation was the nicest we have stayed in on a self catering basis.

Regards

Linda
