The property is one of a pair and has been completely renovated, offering some original features including inglenook fireplace, beams, historic bread oven and also very contemporary touches for today’s lifestyle.
The property is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, situated next door to the owner, but offering a very private setting. At the bottom of the lane is a small river with a ford across to the fields, and there is no through traffic. It lies close to Axminster, an unspoilt Devon market town situated on the River Axe, surrounded by stunning countryside and filled with charm and character. This attractive market town lies in the beautiful Axe Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasting quaint villages and unspoilt countryside. Famous for its carpets, the original Axminster factory was opened in 1755 by Thomas Whitty and authentic British ’Axminsters’ are still made in the town by Axminster Carpets. Situated a few miles inland from the Jurassic Coast, guests can visit towns such as Beer, Branscombe, Sidmouth and Seaton with its famous tramway.
Tucked in the south east corner of Devon, Axminster is an ideal touring centre for the neighbouring counties of Somerset and Dorset, with Lyme Regis and Charmouth just 6 miles away.
Celebrity chef and TV presenter Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has his very first River Cottage Canteen and Deli (an organic produce shop/market and canteen) here, and his River Cottage HQ is nearby in the Axe valley. There are many places to visit close by including many NT properties. This is an ideal spot for walking with a footpath close to the property. The Yarty Valley is a very peaceful area and ideal for bird watching, cycling the country lanes or just relaxing on the patio enjoying views of the river. Shop and pub/restaurant 2 miles (1 mile via footpath).

Summary: We had a 4 night stay in this gorgeous property. From the moment we walked through the door we fell in love with the place. It felt very homely, comfortable and beautifully presented. The upstairs was lovely and spacious. An amazing kitchen/dining room with everything we needed and more. We were greeted with an array treats and essentials, which was such a lovely suprise and very well received by all of us. We couldnt have found a better place to stay.

Summary: We could not have wished for a more beautiful place to stay! This cottage is a real gem and be rest assured, you will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. The location is rural with fantastic dog walks on your doorstep. The cottage itself is stunning, well appointed, and equipped with everything you could need for a break away. We stayed over Xmas and Sue and John had left a lovely welcome package of fresh bread, milk, mince pies, prosecco and even crackers and a festive table cloth. The beds are superbly comfortable and delightful in style. The kitchen is a dream and the lounge has a gorgeous log burner that kept us cosy all week. The cottage only has freeview TV if you’re expecting more (we didn’t mind at all) and the WiFi isn’t great, which was actually a relief in the end! John replenished the log bag as we needed and at a fair cost. Fresh eggs were provided at £1 per dozen as we needed them and for any other shopping needs, Millers Farm Shop is minutes away and highly recommended. Axminster town centre is only a few miles away with a decent size Tesco and other shopping too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning.. possibly in Summer to take advantage of the fishing! :) Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Summary: Wonderful, relaxing country retreat where the owners have thought of everything to make our stay easy and comfortable. This is a beautiful old house, sympathetically renovated so you get the best of both worlds. And a touch of luxury with a cook’s kitchen, comfy big beds and sumptuous bathrooms. The TV is smaller and more basic in quality than we’re used to, but that didn’t matter. We enjoyed a glass of rose in the garden looking out on the chickens and countryside beyond. Fantastic night skies for star gazing with our telescope. We even saw Jupiter, Saturn and the Milky Way. Highlights are stunning dog walks by the river and walking to Miller’s farm shop. Fish and Chips at Beer and Eype. A game of ping pong or two; great for our young teenager. Thank you for looking after us and to Molly the Colly for keeping us company.

Summary: Gorgeous, cosy thatched cottage with beautiful surroundings and plenty of walks right from the doorstep. We loved returning here after a day spent exploring. Comfortable, clean and charming. We loved watching the chickens and cows from the garden and had many table tennis games in the cider barn. Lovely homemade goods to welcome us too - wonderful memories made.

Summary: Stayed with friends and our dog at the beginning of November. Is a tough cottage to find, and the roads are a bit frightening, but the reward is never to be forgotten ! The cottage has been thoughtfully and beautifully renovated, every detail has been attended to and no expense spared. The kitchen is massive and everything is there, underfloor heating this time of year is frankly genius ! The stairs are steep and I would worry about infirm/young people, but they are only short at least. The bedrooms are big, the en suites excellent and again everything has been thought of, comfortable mattresses and pillows with plenty of wardrobe space too. Lovely comfortable living room with an extremely efficient wood burner, also probably the cleanest ! Outside space in the garden not huge and quite a slope up to the parking area, but nice to have a covered 2 space area in The Cider barn. Surroundings are great, as is the farmshop Millers, only 1 mile away, but I would have gone there everyday as the food quality and wine choice are truly awesome ! A great place to unwind, thank you

Summary: An excellent cottage. Have already recommended to friends. Would definitely stay there again. The owners were very helpful and lovely.
