Description

This property is a real romantic getaway, a truly picture postcard cottage recently re-thatched and decorated inside and out.  For the summer it has a pretty small garden to sit in and on the colder evenings you can snuggle up in front of the log burner. Everything is new, the bedroom is spacious and the bed is very comfortable.  It is close to the Fountain Head Inn.  Wonderful walks to the sea where there is the Sea Shanty restaurant which serves good food.  An ideal place for dog owners as there are many miles of walks to be had.

Location:  Otter's Corner is in Branscombe, a lovely village on Devon's south coast where thatched cottages frame the valley and lead down to the sea. The cottage is situated on a picturesque walking route (one of many close by) and is moments from the characterful Fountain Head Inn.

Accommodation:  Outside the cottage is a handy space for cleaning off your wellies (and dog!) As you enter the cottage through the front stable door, there is plenty of handy storage and hanging space as well as a well-equipped utility room with toilet facilities.

The beautifully-decorated open plan dining and sitting room, complete with a window seat overlooking the lane, has a brand-new shaker-style kitchen with all you need for a relaxed or romantic supper. A welcoming log burner is tucked into a fireplace, with a two-seater sofa and armchair in which to cosy-up on during those chilly winter evenings. From the kitchen is a softly-carpeted open tread stairway leading to the first floor. To one side of the landing is a luxuriously-appointed shower room with large shower and fluffy white towels. Opposite is a light and pretty bedroom with painted beams and sloping ceilings in keeping the cottage's original features. There is a king-size bed with white cotton bed linen, dressing table, hanging space and chest of drawers. Finally, as dogs are very much welcome, he or she can curl up on the blankets provided, and dog bowls are ready and waiting.

Outside: Opposite Otter's Corner there is a private courtyard-style garden with table, chairs, parasol and sun lounger, ideal for al fresco dining, along with a dedicated (and much coveted!) parking space.

Facilities:  Wash-dryer, sink, small freezer, ironing board, TV, electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, larder, fridge, microwave, toaster, heated towel racks, hair dryer. Wifi and USB charging points. Bed linen and towels. Dog bowls and blankets provided. Parking for one car. Friday to Friday changeover.

Restrictions:  No smoking inside the property.

Reviews

Lovely little cottage with everything you need. We slept well and were very comfy. Branscombe was a great location.

Mrs B,

Excellent. Well fitted out and decorated to a high standard

Mr R,

It is in georgous little village winding down the valley and eventually to the beach where a great breakfast can be had. Village has two pubs and lots of places to walk in the stunning countryside.

Mr B,

We loved the cottage albeit it rather cramped. There was nowhere to put our provisions we had brought with us, therefore, it took up all the working surfaces. It would have been helpful to have had replacement bin liners if you are staying more than a week, and especially as the bins are collected on a Tuesday. (Such a complicated recycling system there and not easily followed). The neighbours were very good and helpful in that respect.

Mrs B,

Lovely cosy cottage in beautiful location, this was our 4th visit and I'm sure there will be a 5th.

Mrs A,

Nice cottage in a good location right next to pub serving good basic food.

Mr W,

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped with everything you could need. The local pub, although very rustic seved excellent food. The only downside was the narrow, winding roads leading in and out of the village- not for the faint hearted driver or those with a big or expensive car !

Mrs K,

Stunning location, feel cut off from the world! Wonderful walk to sea, super meals at local pubs and lunch at The Old Bakery. Cosy cottage, great well equipped base with courtyard garden just over lane. Super holiday for two with dog!

Mrs T,

A very well appointed cottage with a comfortable bed, cosy and compact. Of note this is a very beautiful but isolated location. If this is what you’re looking for, it is ideal, but prepare for many, many miles of single track lanes. It has birdlife, footpaths and history on your doorstep. Recommended for nature lovers.

Mr P,

Otter's corner is a lovely place to stay, l've known about this place for years and at last stayed there.

Mr L,

Cottage is very well presented and equipped. Written instructions were clear.

Mr D,

Otters Corner is a lovely cottage in a great location. We found walking from the cottage really enjoyable with everything sign posted well.The cottage had a great hanging area for damp walking clothes and plenty of space for boots and coats .

Mrs S,

We have stayed at "Otters Corner" many times over the years.

Mrs B,

Lovely little cottage. Disappointed no board games there. Thinking about it I would of opted for a larger cottage as the living room was very small with a big dog. And the kitchen was small. Only room for one. Nice neighbours. Lovely walks. Sea shanty cafe most exellect food. And lovely friendly owners. Weather was windy and warm. Embracing. We did enjoy our stay. Left feeling very relaxed.

Mrs B,
