Mettaford Farm Bay Cottage Reviews

Richard

A lovely cottage stay in Hartland. Our hosts were very welcoming and patient with our two boys who enjoyed asking them lots of questions! The cottage itself had everything that we needed for our stay in a clean modern kitchen and lounge with the two bedrooms and bathroom on the floor below. The onsite swimming pool was enjoyed by us all and the acc ess to a field for the boys to play with their toys was also enjoyed. Location-wise, we found this good for exploring the local area.

Maddie

Our stay at the cottage was great, very clean, everything we needed to cook and it was very comfortable. Using the pool table and hot tub was a great way to spend an evening. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Only slight downside was the very creaky floor making a racket for downstairs, the twin bedroom is not suitable for light sleepers ! Will be back with the dog to stay in another cottage.

Debbie

Great place spotlessly clean with everything you could need for a real home from home stay. Very relaxing and chilled week but close enough to get out every day exploring the local area

Stuart

Great location and the pool was a real bonus!

Faultless. Wonderful cottage and hosts. Pool and games facilities were perfect for a stay with our grandchildren :-) Grounds, wild meadow etc great for early evening wildlife-spotting walk. We didn't have a dog but also very dog friendly.
