I'd probably rate this cottage as a 4.5 Rosemary our host was on site and extremely accommodating, sorting out any issues. Her welcoming pack was extremely generous and the homemade scones with clotted cream and jam went down a treat after a long drive. A few snagging issues with the cottage requiring some maintenance. The one mile long drive to the cottage is challenging for cars with low profile tyres, ok if you have a 4x4. We were fortunate as the pot holes had been filled and less of a bumpy ride. We had a food delivery on our day of arrival and the driver commented on the road repairs. The views from the cottage were stunning and overlooking a field full of sheep. The description of the surrounding areas and photos were a bit misleading. The enclosed garden and decking was very tiny for our Doberman with the pictures suggesting there was much more secure grassed areas for our 4 legged friend to freely roam. The BBQ area could have an overhaul, with the weed membrane not serving its purpose plus seating here would capture the late afternoon sun. Really can't take away the generosity of Rosemary and our leaving gift of a jar of homemade honey was a lovely surprise. Rosemary is a bee keeper and a true hands on host.

A beautiful rural setting down a mile long track - away from it all! No footpaths from the cottage, but a private woodland walk in the grounds.

Everything we needed for our stay was provided. Very quiet area and beautiful views from the cottage. The drive down the 1 mile track to the property was a bit daunting at first as I don't like heights. Beware the potholes. Both coast and countryside in the local area is stunning. Beer being our favourite.

Tranquil and fairly remote, but with great access to surrounding Seaton, Sidmouth, Beer and Lyme Regis. Would recommend this property.
