This beautifully presented terraced cottage nestles in an idyllic village setting just a short walk from the gorgeous pebble beach and provides a wonderfully relaxed retreat for couples and small families alike.

Head to this tranquil cottage that comfortably sleeps three. Situated in a pretty valley in the idyllic village of Branscombe, you’ll be able to access walks of varying abilities, winding through the charming countryside and along the scenic coast.

This delightful cottage is brimming with character and has traditional features throughout such as exposed beams and low ceilings. Fire up the wood burner and enjoy a relaxing evening warming up in the lounge watching something on the Smart TV. A sociable and spacious kitchen/diner is well-appointed and has a comfortable window seat where you can enjoy garden views. Upstairs are the two bedrooms and a lovely bathroom. Outside is a small garden, a real sun trap and the perfect space for taking some time out after an explorative day. Reached via some steps, it’s been well designed to keep children and pets safe, and has plenty of space to sit and watch buzzards soar overhead.

The cottage was much to our liking. Very clean, plenty of hot water and a nice friendly restaurant close by. The owner was very helpful with a blocked loo, which was fixed within hours - while we were out.

I loved the simplicity, and the back to nature feel of Roslyn Cottage also the humor and quirkiness within!! Set within a national trust village. Lots of local info, along with OS maps of the local area which was great... a lovely comfy cottage... Only real issue might be the parking if staying in high summer. P.s. learn to reverse your vehicle up Read moreand down narrow roads !!! Hide

Our stay in the cottage was fine, it was very clean and comfortable place. The only downside for us was that the location was quite remote and it was a problem for those who dont drive as public transport, including the taxis in that area were scarce. Overall, the place is fine.

I think the cleaning needs to be better when paying that amount of money and not getting in till 4 pm . I had to wash mugs and some kitchen equipment before use . There were cobwebs all over . It was very dusty too. . The garden was beautiful but quite overgrown . Wouldnt stop me going again though . As it was a well restored cottage .

Roslyn Cottage is perfectly situated for a gloriously relaxing holiday in a most beautiful part of Devon. A cute little cottage with a quiet back cottage garden. Wonderful to be able to walk along the footpath to Branscombe beach and cliff path. We didn't use the car all week, other to pop to Waitrose for a quick shop top up mid week. The cottage wRead moreas lovely, with comfortable beds, large towels etc. The mix of the new kitchen and rustic works well. I grew up nearby and will be back! Hide

Superb cottage, sympathetically refurbished, well equipped and very comfortable.A great location for walks with (or without) the dog to the beach or along the South West Coast Path. Beer village is an easy 2.5 mile walk, or, if you're less energetic, the Masons Arms is 20 feet with great food, beer and service.

A cute cottage brimming with character, with just a short walk to the beach, what's not to love? Plus the cottage was very cool during the hot weather. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A gorgeous cottage - it was cool in the heat and would be cosy in the winter (in fact Im going to book to go again in the winter it was so lovely). It was beautifully furnished - really stylish, retro vibe but also comfortable and practical.

Really dog friendly - they were interested to try the vegan dog treats! Right opposite a nice food pub but not noisy. LOVE Hide
