We are returning customers. We love Netherton Farm. Would highly recommend to anyone. The accommodation is clean and very comfortable. Extremely dog friendly. Hartland Village is a lovely little place to eat and walk round. Lots of places to visit with the coastal paths just down the road Highly recommend and we will be returning again
