The house is set in the picturesque hamlet of Shore Bottom in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The spacious 3 bedroom property has grounds of 6 acres and has a lovely large garden with a terrace overlooking 3 ponds of varying sizes and a rose and honeysuckle covered gazebo with views to the countryside beyond. The ponds are a lovely feature of the property, but small children need to be supervised around them at all times.
There are 2 sitting rooms - one with French doors onto the terrace and a cosy, oak beamed area to enjoy the log burner set in the original old fireplace, the other sitting room is a large contemporary room off the kitchen , french doors open onto the garden and there are stunning views from all the windows onto the surrounding fields, often home to horses or sheep.
The kitchen is a lovely traditional Devon country kitchen with pine table and Aga (there is also an electric oven and hob). It has a delightful window seat overlooking the garden and ponds.
There is a very large utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Off this is a large modern shower room.
The main bedroom has a super-kingsize bed and wonderful dual-aspect views. There is a family bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a Kingsize bed.
At the other end of the house is another flight of stairs leading to a large bedroom with 3 single beds one of which is a trundle bed that pulls out to make a double bed or additional single (sleeping 4 in total).
Garden furniture and a BBQ are available to enjoy the garden in the summer and a handy second fridge freezer in the garage.
The nearest pubs are the ancient Tuckers Arms in the village of Dalwood, 3 miles away, very good home cooked food, amazing Sunday Roasts or The Kings Arms in Stockland village, 3 miles away. The nearest beach is Lyme Regis (15 mins) where you can enjoy fish and chips on the beach, or push the boat out and admire the amazing view of the Cobb and harbour from Hix Crab and Oyster House restaurant.
Axminster, with its direct train line to Waterloo, is a 15 minute drive away and has been firmly put on the map with Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall’s River Cottage restaurant.
Honiton is also 15 minutes away and is a historic Devon town with a weekly market on Saturdays. The discerning Pig Group of hotels the Pig At Coombe, just a 20 minute drive away, lovely for a special lunch or dinner during your stay.
East Devon is very unspoilt and there are numerous coastal towns to explore, from bijou Topsham on the beautiful Exe Estuary to seaside classic Sidmouth. There is a fantastic walk over the cliffs from Beer to Branscombe where you are rewarded by a delicious lunch at The Mason’s Arms.
There is much to see and do in the area but the main joy of a holiday here is just being at the house with family and friends.

Summary: the property is as the Vrbo description The beds were so comfortable. just to make people aware the property is not fully enclosed as if you have inquisitive dogs as mine are they can get into the wood at the side of the garden over a muddy stream then onto a road and leading to fields with livestock in. The garden is a wonderful size for doge to run around in and the outside hose is a great edition to wash down your pets as we had to do on many occasions. We were visited by a deer one morning in the garden which was great to see and plenty of birds and dragonflies flying around through the day. The property does have all the amenities you require for a comfortable stay and the owners kept in touch but not intrusive with plenty of information in the property books. To make people aware there is no welcome package so please bring a small amount of shopping in to start your first evening and morning. This is the first cottage we have stayed in that did not have a welcome pack or even a small milk in the fridge. The cupboards do have tea coffee and sugar in for you to use along with plenty of condiments. The local shops are just up the road in Honiton (Lydl, Aldi Tesco and Co op)

Summary: We have just had two wonderful weeks at Shore breach, even though the weather was not kind to us the holiday was fantastic. The house is in a perfect location, just far enough from the coast to be tranquil with great dog walks just outside the front gate, but close enough to the tourist hot spots to “do stuff” when we fancied it. The house is lovely and we really enjoyed using the AGA, and appreciated the warmth when the weather was bad! The gardens are more mature than the photos show, and the owners have created a haven for wildlife, we were treated to several visits by Deers and foxes as well as water fowl and vivid dragonflies . There are several friendly pubs very close by that do excellent food and a few special restaurants within a half hour drive (which were excellent recommendations by the owners) were real treats. Also to add, the communication with the owner was first class, we were made to feel very welcome and I would recommend Shore Breach as a base for a perfect holiday.

Summary: The property is spacious and very bright. The kitchen is well equipped, large and very functional. The two living rooms are very comfortable with one having access to a patio with lovely views and the other with a cosy fireplace. The bedrooms are very comfortable and again very bright with views across the countryside and garden. The garden is absolutely lovely with the ponds and stream running through the it. We saw lots of wildlife in the garden such as rabbits, deer, buzzards, coots, ducks, bats and various birds. The gardens are bordered by fields in which there were horses and sheep. The garden was a peaceful haven in which to while away the time. There is a main patio area next to the house but also other seating areas located around the garden to give a different perspective. This was a fabulous stay. Our hosts kept in contact to make sure we were OK but were not intrusive in any way. There are some great pubs/restaurants within a short drive and, of course, many tourist attractions in the surrounding East Devon and Dorset countryside and coast although the house and its garden are a holiday in itself.

Summary: Had an absolutely amazing time here earlier this month. While browsing Vrbo we were in two minds over whether to go for civilisation or something more tucked-away and peaceful; we had a few options in walking distance of restaurants, bars etc but as soon as we found this the decision was pretty much made for us. It's a gorgeous property, within comfortable driving distance of everything but large and homely enough for you to not really need to go anywhere. The grounds are vast, wonderfully landscaped but not manicured; clearly plenty of thought has been given to the local wildlife, from the ponds to the unmowed fields and patches of lawn left to grow long. We saw rabbits every morning. A baby deer came to snack on the foliage as we took breakfast. Lovely stuff. My family and I (wife, two kids under ten, large dog) have spent the Covid years staying in various Vrbo properties along the south coast and this was comfortably the best. Most of the others have clearly been rental properties, run purely as businesses: a cottage, townhouse or converted farm building stuffed with spare furniture and the bare essentials. This feels like a home — the owners clearly spend time here, and it shows. It's comfy and cosy and the interior design, particularly in the sun room, is spellbinding. We had a terrific time, left feeling thoroughly relaxed and energised, and fully intend on a repeat visit. (I quite fancy it in autumn, particularly if they'll let me have a go on the ride-on mower.)

Summary: The house was very comfortable, as were the beds. We only slept in the master bedroom. Great to wake up in the morning and see the bunnies on the lawn by the pond. We did use the AGA in the kitchen and the barbecue with coals. We stayed at the end of July and it was rainy most of the time. Enjoyed visiting Lyme Regis by the ocean, Dalwood and the Dalwood vineyard tour and wine tasting. Also Exeter, Axminster, and Darts Farm complex just outside of Exeter. Amazing place to purchase all kinds of gourmet food and items, pastries and to eat at the restaurant. (crowded in August, but we ate outside at the restaurant.) Sallie our host, was very helpful giving us information about the surrounding places to visit and her favorite restaurants. Hix Oyster and Fish House in Lyme Regis was our favorite for amazing seafood-and gluten free. A little tricky to find, but well worth it. The roads from the property and many in Devon, are very narrow. Some are the width of the car. The hedges are high, so it's almost like a tunnel. (others are wider and definitely doable) That said, this is a fact in Devon that we did not realize. All in all, a fun and interesting stay in the Devon region.

Summary: Beautiful garden and stunnjng views. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Very quiet,peaceful location great place to chill and relax. We were cycling and would have preferred a few less hills...but luckily we had E Bikes so managed pretty well. Lots of good pubs around for dining and just enjoying a drink . Would definitely recommend 👌

Summary: Exactly what I wished for in a rural break. The house is beautiful and the garden very large and enclosed for our dogs to run around. The garden itself is very well attended to and the location very rural and peaceful. The house is large and beautiful inside. I do however feel it could have been cleaner as there were cobwebs in one of the wardrobes and the side tables and units could have done with a dust and polish, other than that it was wonderful. I would definitely return for another break. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

Summary: Wonderful location, house and garden. Had a brilliant time. So much to do in the area, lovely walks from the house, quiet yet easy to reach places, including Millers farm shop, where you can stock up with all sorts of goodies!

Summary: Good points - great location in absolutely beautiful setting, close to many great amenities like shops, restaurants, beaches in local towns like Honiton, Lyme Regis, and Seaton. Good local pubs near by serving great food. The house is large enough for 8 people and has seating for the same, in dining areas and lounge. The hiuse is well equipped. The gardens are a great area fir the children abd dogs to play and there are many great walks nearby. We had a problem with water pressure on our arrival, which was out of the owners control. On contacting the owners they were fantastic in finding out the cause of the issue and when a solution would be rectified. In deed the issue was solved by late afternoon. So thank you to you both. Bad points - the only issue I had on arrival was the the top shelf of the fridge was full of half used jars of food and condiments. In addition the kitchen cupboards were the same we were expecting a delivery of groceries from a local supermarket but we had nowhere to store it. In the end we cleared the cupboards and fridge and had to place them in the utility room. I noticed there are carbon monoxide alarms but no fire alarms throughout the house I would have brought some had I known. There were a couple of other safety issues, which I discussed with the owners , who confirmed they will sort. Overall the house and gardens are fantastic and we had a great holiday. Simon & Sallie are very attentive hosts without being intrusive. The issues raised would not stop me booking this property again in the future.

Summary: My family spent five weeks at ShoreBreach. It was like a little piece of heaven for us. It was peaceful and beautiful, even better than you can tell from the pictures. Everyone loved going for walks and relaxing in the yard and sunroom. The neighbors we met were so friendly and had three sweet dogs. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife., rabbits, deer, a fox, an otter, and lots of birds. The master bedroom was one of my favorite places. The bed was so comfortable and the view of the property from there was wonderful. We really liked learning to use the Aga! Sallie was kind and helpful at every turn. We really hope to come back for a visit some day.
