About this property

This stunning property, situated in the pretty village of Branscombe just 1.5 miles from the beach, is perfect for an active holiday in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping four adults over two peaceful double bedrooms and four children in a charming bunk bedroom with seaside decor, this gorgeous 18th-century thatched cottage is ideal for two families coming together for an exciting break. Bring the dogs with you and go for walkies along the beach or take a ride on the Seaton Tramway (6.5 miles), or simply soak up the sun in the spacious garden, drinking and dining alfresco.

As soon as you step inside you’ll be impressed by the blend of original features and contemporary styling. Exposed beams and a brick ornamental fireplace in the kitchen diner look fantastic among white walls and neutral tiles, while the electric Aga oven and wooden worktops and dining table offer a superb farmhouse look. Get cosy in the sitting room, lighting the wood burner and curling up on the eclectic mix of sofas and chairs, or catch up on some work or read a book at the table. Store your muddy walking boots in the boot room, with a separate WC close by. Upstairs, peaceful pastel tones, exposed beams and vintage-style furniture in the double bedrooms encourage a great night’s sleep, while kids will love the fantastic beach hut-style bunk bedroom. Traditional fixtures in the bathroom offer a touch of class; take an invigorating shower or a relaxing bath before bed. Travel cot & High chair available (please request at the time of booking, extra fee's apply).

Children will delight in the Donkey Sanctuary (2.5 miles) or Crealy Adventure Park (13 miles); Beer Quarry Caves (2 miles) is a great option too. The beach and Beer Heights Light Railway (3 miles) are also well worth visiting. Take walks along the South West Coast Path from Hooken Cliffs (4 miles), or enjoy a more leisurely stroll around the streets of Branscombe (0.5 miles to centre). For something a bit different, go alpaca trekking with Bearhouse Alpacas (5.5 miles)!
