A wonderful place to relax and rest which was made even better by a very warm and welcoming host. The position of the cottage gave good access to many different beaches although Branscombe beach was the most relaxing and never crowded. A wonderful holiday.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2020
Lovely if not somewhat remote - the track was a challenge for us city folk! Lovely welcome and such beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable and helped us all switch off. Great for exploring the coast as so many places are near by - again not for the faint hearted In terms of narrow lanes! Cottage it self was warm and fit us in well. We didn’t play snooker however as the weather was pretty good for October. The walks from the cottage are on the steep side due to being on the side of the valley - however pop on the car and there are many great walks to go on - the river at Colyton, Branscombe, Axmouth, .... the list goes on. We had a lovely time and the dogs loved it the most Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
