Visited May 23rd 2026 for 7 days. Really, really beautiful cottage. Myself, my wife and son (6) absolutely loved our time here. About 7 mins to Seaton and 15 to Lyme Regis. Really good location to use as a base for venturing out. Very well equipped. Had everything you need. Kitchen was good, we used it to cook most days (I like cooking). BalRead morecony in the main bedroom is quite amazing. You can see the sea round the corner, the hills opposite and the field next to the property which has so much wildlife. Rabbits, foxes, pheasants, owls. Incredible and very peaceful. You obviously can hear the main road outside, but that's not an issue for me as I'm a car and bike nerd haha. Will definitely look to book this again. Hide

Holly Cottage is a delight! Wonderful location and is comfortable, clean and was perfect for our Christmas break. Tree and decorations were a nice touch, as we're the biscuits, wine and card. Would highly recommend this property. Nothing negative to say! Thank you

We had a lovely time at Holly Cottage. The 'Season of Mists' lived up to its name but we had some really lovely walks, the woods at Salcombe Regis were particularly glorious with the autumn colours and we spent days all along the coast from Lyme Regis to Topsham, visiting old haunts!. We found the lovely butchers in Colyton and bought deliciousRead more fish from the sea front shop at Sidmouth. The cottage was really cosy and a delight to come home to, we couldn't have found a better place to relax and recover from a very busy time. Thank you so much! Hide
