About this house rental

The property enjoys uninterrupted countryside views and is a haven for anyone who enjoys walking. It is only a 10 minute walk to the South West Coast Path where you can explore the numerous coastal and countryside walks. There are also plenty of beaches to nearby and Exeter City Centre is only a 30 minute drive.
The cottage comprises of one double bedroom, one twin bedded room, a bathroom, small utility and an open plan kitchen,dining area and sitting room. There are patio doors from the sitting area which open onto a terrace and garden.
The village of Otterton has its own Working Mill which has a restaurant, craft shop and fresh bakery in addition to the local village pub.
Facilities in the Area: Otterton is close by to Woodbury Golf and Country Club which is open to non-members and Exmouth boasts an Indoor Tennis centre which has 6 courts. Bicton Gardens is only a few minutes drive from Hawkern and the Regency town of Sidmouth is a 10 minute drive away.
Otterton is an ideal position as Dartmoor, Torbay, Lyme Regis (great for fossil hunting with the children), Exeter Cathedral Town are all easily accessible which makes plenty of day trips out for the family.
If you simple want a base for walking or relaxing on the beach, again you couldn't ask for a better location.

Claire popped over and introduced herself and was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The milk, tbags and biscuits were an added bonus, thank you. The cottage itself was fab, beds were really comfy too, it was just what we needed in an ideal location for us, thanks again Claire and it was lovely to meet you

6 / 10Average·Sep 2022
Lovely property up a small hill, ten minutes walk just outside the village of Otterton. Clean and comfortable. We were greeted personally by Claire.
Box of sweets and tea left for us but no coffee or sugar. No instructions left on how to use any of the electricals or the gas boiler, and despite putting the hot water on an hour before a bath, the water was barely warm. Although the owner said to call her if there were any issues, we don't consider it a holiday if we're having to sort issues out by phoning people. We prefer to be independent if possible. The toilet cistern can be slow to refill.
A lovely garden is provided with a great view and sun loungers. We had looked forward to relaxing out there. However we barely used it due to the owners using loud machinery such as a petrol driven motor lawn mower on and off for two mornings. We were even asked if we minded the garden lawn being scarified with one of these noisy machines, and when I suggested it be left for another day, the owner went away muttering that the machine had to go back that day. My husband had just received some bad personal news that morning too.
If you are in the holiday let business and you offer a quiet, rural property, then you should strive to actually achieve this. We were only there for a few days so surely lawn mowing and work should have been left for changeover days or when guests aren't there. We especially chose this property due to its quiet location and garden for us to have a break from the often noisy city that we live in.
We would definitely come back to lovely Otterton with its beavers and old mill and pub but we won't be booking this property again.
