I have never stayed anywhere so quiet. The hosts, Angela & Steve provided everything we needed for our stay. It was a great base for us to explore the area. We visited Lyme Regis, West Bay, Bridport, Durdle Door, Seaton and others. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Restful, relaxing and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting in the lovely conservatory watching the squirrel, birds and even field mice! I definitely hope to visit again.

10/10 Our holiday began with a warm welcome from Steve and Angela. Absolutely everything conceivable was provided for our stay including a bottle of wine on our arrival. The warm and cosy cottage is set in quiet woodland off the beaten track but is also within easy location of the sea and beaches of Seaton, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth are between 11 to 16 miles away. We thoroughly enjoyed our quiet and peaceful location spending time chilling out watching birds from the conservatory and we most definitely plan to return next year.
