BBC’s lavish, visually exciting and suspenseful production of John Le Carre’s The Night Manager featured some equally dramatic locations, including here on our very own Hartland Peninsula.
Blackpool Mill Cottage, part of the Hartland Abbey estate owned by Sir Hugh and Lady Angela Stucley, is no stranger to filming. It was the location for Barton Cottage in the BBC’s lavish 2008 production of Sense & Sensibility, and before that in Rosamund Pilcher’s The Shell Seekers.
It sleeps 8, is set in its own secluded valley right beside the sea and can be rented all year long, with prices ranging from £725 per week right up to £1600 in the middle of the high season, though you may be able to get reduced prices for just 2 people sharing or snap up a bargain for a short break out of season.
Hartland Quay with its hotel, Shipwreck Museum and bar and superb cliff scenery, Hartland point and lighthouse, Hartland Abbey and Gardens, St. Nectan’s Church and Docton Mill Gardens are all within walking distance; Clovelly, Welcombe and Morwenstow are nearby. Hartland with its excellent Post Office, Old Bakery Coffee Shop, Pop-In general store, artists, woodworkers and pottery studios is 2 miles away.
