Cosy cottage vibes abound at this two-bed property in Branscombe within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As well as feeling really welcoming, this beautiful cottage spoils guests with touches of both traditional character and up-to-date luxury. Ideal for one couple or a family and two dogs, it’s in a lovely peaceful spot that’s ideal for walking and exploring. Back at your desirable home from home, sink into the sofas before the cosy wood burner in cooler months or spend time in the stone summer shelter or on the patio, kids playing, hounds snoozing by your feet.

Relish the supreme comfort of this rural cottage’s surprisingly generous open-plan ground-floor living accommodation which is finished to a high standard and is really family friendly. The warm wood flooring is echoed by the exposed ceiling beams, adding charm and a sense of history. The well-equipped kitchen could bear witness to some culinary triumphs that you can eat at the space-saving breakfast bar for four. Upstairs, a stylish king-size and a fun bunk bedroom await for sweet dreams. A door from the kitchen leads to the outside space, comprising a stone-built shelter with a furnished sitting area and a secure patio, accessed via steps, with lovely views over the surrounding village and hills.

The whole pack will enjoy wonderful walks – including on the South West Coast Path – from this traditional cottage that’s also ideally located for trips out. The National Trust’s meadows lead to the dog-friendly beach (0.5 miles), part of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Enjoy a pint and a meal in the pub after admiring the wonderful cottages of this pretty village. Further afield, esplanades and pebbly beaches await at the Regency gem of Sidmouth (8 miles), at Beer (2.5 miles) and at Seaton (4.5 miles).

Overall the cottage was suitable for our needs which included accommodating a dog. Perfect location for a daily walk to the beach which is approximately half a mile. Also convenient for a walk across the road to the Masons Arms which is a cosy pub serving good food and a decent selection of real ales from St Austell and Branscombe breweries.

Beautiful cottage alot of attention to design and detail. Everything in very good condition and some stuff I think new. Lots of crockery and dishes. Location was just what we were after and we were aware of the parking situation which was fine for us, but I can see for some would be tricky

Great place to stay with a great pub, walks to the old bakery and the beach which are all dog friendly. Property is well equipped and you won't have to bring your own stuff as its all there plus cleaning fluids for the bathroom which normally isn't catered for. Shame the bathroom doesn't have a blind for privacy as the cottage next door looks righRead moret in but we have feed that back to the owners so it should be rectified. Hide

The property was very well appointed. There is a pub across the road which does good food which is great, the beach at Branscombe is a beautiful spot with no tide so great for swimming or paddle boarding , and the beach cafe (The Sea Shanty) is fantastic, great food and service and a view to die for and just a 12 minute stroll away on a very safe pRead moreublic foot path.
