The cathedral city of Exeter (18 miles) and the bustling market town of Honiton (8 miles) both offer an array of shops, pubs and eateries. The world-renowned Jurassic Coast and the delightful seaside resorts of Lyme Regis, Seaton, Sidmouth are all within a 21-mile drive and are well worth a visit. Other attractions and places of interest accessible from here include Escot Gardens (10 miles), numerous National Trust properties and gardens, such as Killerton House (12 miles), and the beautifully rugged Exmoor National Park (25 miles).

The cottage is beautiful, clean, welcoming, in the middle of nature and relax. The outdoor garden with a barbecue and hot tube is a ticket for relax.

Wonderful log Cabin with a secluded, secure garden and a perfectly formed hot tub. Views over second dog friendly field were beautiful, games room was great entertainment for teenager. Magical woodland walks were a highlight - look for the Woodland Trust route in Blackborough Forest, just a couple of fields away. Imogen and Justin were great hosts.

A warm welcome from our host, who left a bottle of fizz, & a welcome greeting on a postcard, to greet our arrival; the postcard gave a brief historical insight into their local links, which is a nice memento of our stay. Lovely, peaceful, spot, & ideal base for exploring the area.

Great space, peaceful and we had access to a field to walk our dog. The hosts were lovely. It rained heavily most days so a porch or outdoor shoe store would have been a great help.

The cottage was extremely clean and tidy and well equipped, if it is peace and quiet you want, then this is the place for you, the garden is enclosed (pets can't get out) and very private so you can use the hot tub without being overlooked. The double bed was extremely comfortable (did not try the single beds) as was the rest of the property.
