Very happy with our stay in Bloomsbury Cottage; great location to explore the east of Devon & Dorset border areas (Lyme Regis & Weymouth). Owner was prompt to respond to any text messages and the place was clean. The clotted cream tea on arrival, plus pint of milk in the fridge, were most welcome!

Cottage is dirty, smells of damp and needs refurbishing. The damp smell is strong when you enter the cottage, you can see damp stains at the bottom of the stairs and bathroom ceiling is peeling because of leak. We had to hover up over 20 cobwebs from the corners, furniture and lamps covered in dust. The backs of the curtains were black from mould.

This cottage is fantastic for a family weekend away. The cottage is fully equipped with everything that you need and more. It is located close to a Tesco so forgetting groceries is not an issue. The setting and the drive was tranquil and peaceful. We wish we had booked for a longer stay, definitely going back !

Lovely, well equiped cottage with lots of amenities. Not far from the town of Axminster, and the Ax Wildlife Park just down the road is a great way to spend a few hours. River Cottage for breakfast or lunch, plus a a garden centre or local pub close at hand for meals. Rooms are large and spacious with comfortable beds.
