About this cottage rental
Property Description
----------------------------
Daisy Cottage is a 2 bedroom barn conversion. It is extremely well insulated keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. The cottage faces south-west and so is in the sun for most of the day.
The ground floor provides a light and airy open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, dining table and a lounge area with cosy wood burner. Full height windows extend the living space, opening out onto a south-facing patio and graveled courtyard that provide the perfect suntrap from which to enjoy a morning cup of tea or al-fresco dining. The modern bathroom includes a shower over the bath and under floor heating.
Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms with exposed beams and stripped wood floors, reflecting the character of the original building. The master bedroom is equipped with a comfortable double divan bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe with space for a travel cot or standard cot which can be supplied on request. There are far reaching views over the surrounding Devon countryside from the master bedroom. The second bedroom is equipped with two full size single divan beds, chest of drawers and wardrobe.
Facilities and services:
Bed linen and towels included. Electric heating and logs for wood burner included. Space for a cot for additional infant in the double bedroom - please request when booking if required. Highchair and Stair Gate also available on request.
WiFi access available on site. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN EXTRAS
If you require additional accommodation for a second family etc. Buttercup Cottage is available next door which can be booked separately subject to availability.
Amenities:
There is a mini market at the local garage at Wilmington stocking fresh milk and bread and a basic range of groceries. Also in Wilmington, there is a small farm shop and a thatched pub serving a range of local beers and good local food.
The market town of Honiton (4 miles) has a good range of local shops and a twice weekly street market. Similarly Axminster (7 miles), has a weekly market and boasts the Riverside Cottage shop. Colyton is a smaller town, with interesting little shops, including the award winning Colyton Butchers.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
A lovely cottage with everything you could need and more..Location is beautiful and quiet, about 15 minutes from the nearest village.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
Definitely rural and down lots of narrow rough lanes but that is the challenge in parts of Devon. Really good detailed direction from host but if you prefer SatNav just type “Slade Dairy Cottages”. Although a rural setting it is very close to everything including a Tesco supermarket. This was just the peaceful, quiet break we needed
