About this house rental

FULL REFUND IN THE EVENT OF COVID TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

The house is set in the picturesque hamlet of Shore Bottom in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The spacious 3 bedroom property has grounds of 6 acres and has a lovely large garden with a terrace overlooking 3 ponds of varying sizes and a rose and honeysuckle covered gazebo with views to the countryside beyond. The ponds are a lovely feature of the property, but small children need to be supervised around them at all times.
There are 2 sitting rooms - one with French doors onto the terrace and a cosy, oak beamed area to enjoy the log burner set in the original old fireplace, the other sitting room is a large contemporary room off the kitchen , french doors open onto the garden and there are stunning views from all the windows onto the surrounding fields, often home to horses or sheep.
The kitchen is a lovely traditional Devon country kitchen with pine table and Aga (there is also an electric oven and hob). It has a delightful window seat overlooking the garden and ponds.
There is a very large utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Off this is a large modern shower room.
The main bedroom has a super-kingsize bed and wonderful dual-aspect views. There is a family bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a Kingsize bed.
At the other end of the house is another flight of stairs leading to a large bedroom with 3 single beds one of which is a trundle bed that pulls out to make a double bed or additional single (sleeping 4 in total).
Garden furniture and a BBQ are available to enjoy the garden in the summer and a handy second fridge freezer in the garage.
The nearest pubs are the ancient Tuckers Arms in the village of Dalwood, 3 miles away, very good home cooked food, amazing Sunday Roasts or The Kings Arms in Stockland village, 3 miles away. The nearest beach is Lyme Regis (15 mins) where you can enjoy fish and chips on the beach, or push the boat out and admire the amazing view of the Cobb and harbour from Hix Crab and Oyster House restaurant.
Axminster, with its direct train line to Waterloo, is a 15 minute drive away and has been firmly put on the map with Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall’s River Cottage restaurant.
Honiton is also 15 minutes away and is a historic Devon town with a weekly market on Saturdays. The discerning Pig Group of hotels the Pig At Coombe, just a 20 minute drive away, lovely for a special lunch or dinner during your stay.
East Devon is very unspoilt and there are numerous coastal towns to explore, from bijou Topsham on the beautiful Exe Estuary to seaside classic Sidmouth. There is a fantastic walk over the cliffs from Beer to Branscombe where you are rewarded by a delicious lunch at The Mason’s Arms.
There is much to see and do in the area but the main joy of a holiday here is just being at the house with family and friends.

Wonderful property with amazing grounds made a relaxing and enjoyable break. Responsive and helpful hosts. Even got to watch the neighboring sheep get sheared by the local farmer!

This was our third visit to this spectacularly lovely property. Our first review in 21 May 2024 remains just as valid this year as then. We had another fabulous vacation here. The property is very comfortable with a beautiful peaceful garden, Simon & Sallie made sure we had settled in OK and were easily contactable if we had needed their assistance with anything. Thank you both. We would love to return next year for another restful week exploring the beautiful villages and countryside.

The house is beautiful with stunning gardens. It's in a fairly secluded area so lovely and peaceful. Really easy to check in and access the house, and everything was ready for us, with everything we needed to feel at home! We were two families with three kids between us, and there was plenty of space for all of us in the house. We had fun making this our home for 10days and attempting to cook all meals on the lovely aga! Sally was so helpful before and during our visit, she provided lots of information about the surrounding areas, with more available in a helpful booklet inside the house, and she was only a phone call away if we needed her. Would definitely recommend!
