Complete with exposed brickwork, original beams and a pretty walled garden, this cosy cottage really does encapsulate the charming nature of life in the Devonshire countryside. With the River Coly running past and the amenities of the peaceful Colyton town centre less than 0.5 miles away, you will no doubt feel immersed in East Devon life when staying right here. You’ll find yourself extremely well positioned for exploring some of the area’s most beautiful areas. Head down to Seaton (3 miles) to find your nearest beach, the chance to join the South West Coastal Path routes and the gateway to the geologically fascinating Jurassic Coast. If you prefer to explore countryside more than coast then set off walking into the East Devon AONB. The fabulous East Devon Way crosses your path less than 0.5 metres from home. Follow this route to explore up to 40 miles of fantastic scenery and discover some of Devon’s hidden gems.

Maintained with plenty of farmhouse-style charm, this traditional cottage has been lovingly preserved as a time-honoured place to stay. Step into the ground floor lounge/kitchen with wonky beams, characterful furnishings and unique artworks adorning the walls. Here you’ll find both a cosy living space with a wood burner effect gas stove and a TV/DVD and an excellent dining area with table set for six. Just next door is a kitchen with additional breakfast table, perfect for lazy morning brunches. A second sitting room can also be found right here on the ground floor, complete with a sofa bed offering handy ground floor sleeping quarters. A steep, narrow cottage-style staircase leads up to the first floor with a family bathroom and two pretty bedrooms. These rooms are made up as a double and a twin.

Well equipped cottage. It has a nice walled secure garden for our dogs which they loved. One improvement would be a more comfortable sofa and armchairs.

The location of the cottage was good with regards local amenities (shops and pubs etc) and an ideal touring base. The garden was great for the dog and private for sitting or dining outside.

The cottage is in need of a deep clean, improvements are botched! There is no hoover to keep place clean. There should be mention in details that the staircase is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems!

Well equipped cottage in a really lovely location. The price was very reasonable which I assume is down to the age of the internal decoration and furniture.

While the cottage was lovely and well equipped, and the location great, we did find the armchairs and sofa very uncomfortable, especially after a long day of walking.
