Tucked away in the peaceful village of Stoke, near Hartland, Vanstones Cottage is a Grade II listed holiday cottage with around 300 years of stories tucked beneath its thatched roof.
Facing towards the wild Atlantic and surrounded by the natural beauty of North Devon, the cottage offers a warm and welcoming place to stay at any time of year. It is wonderfully placed for coastal adventures, countryside rambles and days spent exploring on two wheels.
Vanstones Cottage is every inch the classic country cottage. Its thick walls, traditional thatched roof and time-worn character are gentle reminders of its long history.
Here, mornings can begin slowly, days can be as active or restful as guests please, and evenings are made for returning to the comfort of the cottage after a day in the fresh sea air.
Available for holiday stays throughout the year, it is just as inviting during the bright days of summer as it is when the Atlantic breeze whistles outside and the cottage feels especially cosy.
North Devon is a joy to explore by bike, with quiet country lanes, rolling landscapes and wonderfully scenic routes close to the cottage. From leisurely rides through the countryside to more challenging days in the saddle, there is plenty to tempt cyclists and e-bikers out onto the open road.
Vanstones Cottage is proudly bike-friendly, with a secure bike shed where cycles can be safely stored. A dedicated charging point is also available for electric bikes, ready for the following day’s adventure.
Vanstones Cottage is dog-friendly, so there is no need to leave faithful friends at home. With countryside to explore, coastal surroundings and plenty of fresh air nearby, tails should begin wagging from the moment they arrive. The cottage also has its own garden, providing a lovely outdoor space for guests to enjoy during their stay.
Whether the plan involves bikes, boots, paws or simply a good book, Vanstones Cottage offers a comfortable and characterful place to stay. With secure parking, a private garden, dog-friendly accommodation and thoughtful facilities for cyclists and e-bikers, it has everything needed for a relaxing North Devon escape, all beneath one very lovely thatched roof.
