My family and I had an absolutely wonderful week at the cottage! The place itself was gorgeous and very welcoming and calm for us and the kids. The garden was magical and we spent a lot of time with the kids out there relaxing and playing - they explored every corner of it, it was really special for them. The walks immediately around the cottage weRead morere stunning. Some endless fields for the kids to just run and run and run, a very pretty coastal walk too. It all felt so peaceful and safe. We'll definitely be booking to come back, it was a very special holiday. Hide

Good location for surrounding resorts. Nice walks on the estate. The overall cleanliness of the cottage was not good. In need of a deep clean. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to friends. Disappointed!

This is in a fantastic location which is very, very quiet and the house is generally very comfortable, unfortunately the cleanliness lets it down. I would recommend to a friend but with reservations.

Ideal location to access a variety of activities. The views from the cottage were amazing. Good recommendations given for eating out in the local pubs. The 'Ship' in Axmouth was our favourite!, with its amazing choice. We'll definitely return in the near future for another holiday!
