We had a really lovely stay in Axmouth. The weather was beautiful, and the accommodation was more than adequate for 4 people and 3 dogs. The Ship Inn does some lovely food, with some good surrounding walks. Seaton and Lyme Regis aren't very far away so we made the most of the lovely weather and spent some time there, with our afternoons mostly spenRead moret in the back garden at the property topping up our tans. The dogs had a great time too. Hide

Lovely house, tastefully furnished. Could do with some attention in places. Location was spot on, great views,walks from the door and between 3 good pubs both serving great food. Walking distance to Seaton but quite a busy road to walk if you have children or a dog. There is a path but it's narrow and the traffic seemed fast. Ride the Seaton tram, Read moreit's a fun experience through some beautiful scenery Hide

Lovely big lawn area for our 3 dogs.Cooking was easy with facilities provide, visited 1 of the 2 very local pubs for a drink, food smelt lovely but ate at property.

Overall a lovely stay, comfortable and spacious. Attention lacking in cleanliness to plastic seal on shower screen. Wobbly handle to frying pan, which we fixed. Otherwise well equipped with everything we needed. Large garden ,safe for dogs and children. Unfortunately we had a power cut , 1 to 11 pm. Would recommend you take torches/ lamp Read more. Log burner was great. We called the owner the following day to reset heating and hot water , which he did. Location lovely . Two pubs in village. Could walk into Seaton, although main road busy and path narrow. Parking at house for two cars was difficult. We left one car on the drive and one in front of the gate recess. Would consider staying again . Hide

A well equipped house, about a 20 minute walk outside of Seaton with a good sized garden. The Pigeon Nest is placed between two pubs, both serving food. Seaton has lots of restaurants and bars and Lyme Regis is a short drive away. We'd highly recommend the beautiful beach at Branscombe where the cafe and takeaway sell AMAZING pasties.
