Within a twenty-minute drive is the town of Beer, where visitors will find Pecorama with its gardens and railway museum. Also, within easy reach, is the seaside town of Seaton with its three-mile long tram route, along which vintage double decker trams take visitors through the beautiful surroundings of the Axe Valley. You are also close to Shute Barton National Trust property.

At the centre of this attractively converted former-piggery is the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has been lovingly styled to provide a tranquil and restful country-style retreat, with comfortable sofa seating, dining table, TV/DVD, as well as large patio doors which open onto the private patio. Cosy up on those chiller evenings in front of the inviting log burner. The pretty kitchen with its co-ordinating units and accessories is well-equipped with an oven, hob, fridge with ice compartment, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine. The spacious bedroom is decorated in the same tasteful way as the living area, and has a double bed and its own TV, perfect for late night movies, or a relaxing lie-in.

We truly enjoyed our stay being able to relax in such a quiet, comfortable, and well equipped cottage. We dont usually book places where the owners are on site but would not hesitate to rebook as the owners were extremely friendly and helpful on the occasion we did need assistance, and yet respected our privacy at all other times. Its in a great loRead morecation so accessing places to visit along the coast was easy. Our only regret was not booking for longer! Hide

Lovely quaint, spotlessly clean cottage. Owners were very obliging, letting us park on their drive for the whole week, which was closer to the property as I was using a crutch. The property was home from home with added touches of a cream tea on arrival and welcome message. Situated in a convenient area for nearby beaches, pubs, good food. RecommenRead mored a trip to River Cottage, beautiful food. The Tuckers Arms was welcoming and very good food. Hide

Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring East Devon, Dorset & Somerset. Easy to find just off A35. Great views, comfortable bed & sofas. Although does have another cottage adjoining it is very private & quiet.

This is a lovely little place. Tucked away down a quiet lane. Everything was very well laid out, clean and bed was comfy. We didn't cook all week so didn't try the oven. The views from the garden were lovely and we even caught sight of northern lights on 12th September. Excellent base for Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Branscombe and Beer.
