Within close reach of the Jurassic Coast and other such wonders of marvellous Devon, this incredible cottage invites all kinds of guests to get comfortable on a long or short getaway. Utterly spacious and offering unique design features, this three-storey house hosts a total of eight guests, perfect for extended families or larger groups of friends.

It’s not too far from Axminster (2 miles), a lively market town that’s overflowing with Devonshire charm and quintessentially English architecture.

A tastefully decorated period property with an altogether homely feel is what awaits you inside. Utterly spacious, you’ll find the lounge, kitchen and dining room in three separate spaces on the ground floor, accompanied by a helpful utility and separate WC.

Split out across the first and second floors, there’s plenty of space to settle in when bedtime calls. Outside, the garden is enclosed and engulfed by mature flora, an area that comes into its own in the summer months.

Primed for exploring both counties, the property straddles the borders of both the Dorset National Landscape and the East Devon National Landscape. This means that the opportunities for outdoor adventure are endless, with so much rural splendour waiting to be hiked through or cycled around. On the coastline, the destinations of Lyme Regis (4.5 miles), Seaton (8 miles) and Beer (10 miles) offer much to explore, linked by geologically impressive cliffs, pristine beaches and panoramic views.

This was a very stylish cottage with beautiful gardens and many outside eating areas. The furnishings were smart with plenty of seats. The kitchen was huge but some basic utensils could do with an update. Lovely to have a welcome basket. You need a car.

Ideal cottage for extended family, with plenty of space and glass walls giving chance to see where younger children were without having to get up to look for them! Comfortable furniture and beds.

Level of cleanliness very disappointing. Lots of other little niggles, things not working etc. Such a shame as cottage is nicely decorated and in a lovely location but would not recommend to others due to multiple issues.

As mentioned above the house was beautiful, the only small grumble was the NEFF induction hob, we could only get one side to work, the other side kept putting up e9 error codes. When I read the manual it said system malfunction isolate at the mains, I did this but then if you tried to use it the same error code came up. It made cooking the spaghettRead morei Bolognese a little more tricky Hide
