  • BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE Brochure 2015
    BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE The 15th century cottage is situated in a beautiful valley, a stone’s throw away from a remote Atlantic cove. It sleeps 8 people but is equally suitable for 2. A private drive leading from Hartland Abbey through woodland, carpeted in snowdrops and bluebells in spring, quite suddenly opens out to reveal a view of the cliffs and the sea, with the cottage beside the Abbey stream. Its unique position makes it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and escape from the pressures of modern living. It is a children’s paradise. In 2005 the cottage was the film location for Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Maximillian Schell. In May 2007 the BBC filmed Andrew Davies’s stunning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility here, with Janet McTeer and Mark Williams leading a cast of Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, David Morrisey and Dominic Cooper. The cottage starred as ‘Barton Cottage’, home to the Dashwood family when they fell on hard times. The beach, with its rock pools, sand at low tide and unique cliff formation is always interesting in all weathers and at low tide prawns, mussels, limpets, star fish, crabs, lobsters and fish are to be found in the pools which are also wonderful natural paddling pools for children. The sea is very clean and excellent for bathing and surfing, in the right conditions. In good weather evening barbecuing on the beach with the sun setting over the sea is magical. The only light to be seen is from the lighthouse on Lundy Island.
