Explore Hartland & North Devon
Little Linney is perfectly placed for exploring the wild beauty of the North Devon coastline. From dramatic cliff walks and hidden coves to quiet village cafés and peaceful countryside, Hartland offers a slower and more grounded way of life.
Whether you want long coastal walks, sea air and open skies, or simply a place to pause and unwind, there is something special here in every season.
Wild Coastline & Cliff Walks
The South West Coast Path is just moments away, offering breathtaking walks along some of the most dramatic coastline in the country. Rugged cliffs, crashing waves and winding paths make this stretch of North Devon feel beautifully untouched.
Nearby spots such as Hartland Quay, Speke’s Mill Waterfall and Blackpool Mill offer incredible scenery and peaceful places to explore away from busy tourist areas.
Every walk here feels different depending on the weather, tides and season.
Hidden Beaches & Coastal Places
North Devon and the nearby Cornish coast are filled with hidden coves, wide sandy beaches and quiet places to stop and take in the sea air.
From the surfing beaches at Westward Ho! to the peaceful beauty of Welcombe Mouth and Sandymouth, there are endless opportunities for swimming, beach walks and exploring the coastline.
The nearby fishing villages of Clovelly and Bucks Mills also make wonderful day trips, with winding lanes, sea views and a slower pace of life.
Wildlife, Gardens & Seasonal Beauty
Nature is a huge part of life here. Throughout the seasons the landscape changes constantly, from spring wildflowers and buzzing pollinator gardens to dramatic winter coastlines and dark star-filled skies.
We’ve created our own wildlife-friendly garden filled with flowers, edible planting and quiet places to sit and unwind. Birds, bees and butterflies are a daily part of life here, and the slower rhythm of the countryside naturally encourages rest and reconnection.
It’s a place to breathe deeply, slow down and enjoy the simple things.
Local Food & Village Life
Hartland village has a welcoming and creative community, with independent cafés, traditional pubs, galleries and local shops all nearby.
Having spent many years working with food and hospitality, we’ve always appreciated simple, thoughtful meals made with good ingredients. The area is rich in local produce, from farm shops and fresh seafood to artisan bakeries and seasonal markets.
Whether you’re cooking at the cottage or eating out after a coastal walk, there’s plenty to discover nearby.
A Slower Pace of Life
One of the things we love most about Hartland is the feeling of space, quiet and connection to nature. Life moves more slowly here.
There are dark skies, quiet roads, dramatic coastlines and the simple pleasure of listening to birdsong with a morning coffee or watching the light change over the sea.
Little Linney is designed to be a peaceful base from which to explore, rest and reconnect with the natural world around you.
