This cottage is fantastic for a family weekend away. The cottage is fully equipped with everything that you need and more. It is located close to a Tesco so forgetting groceries is not an issue. The setting and the drive was tranquil and peaceful. We wish we had booked for a longer stay, definitely going back !

Lovely, well equiped cottage with lots of amenities. Not far from the town of Axminster, and the Ax Wildlife Park just down the road is a great way to spend a few hours. River Cottage for breakfast or lunch, plus a a garden centre or local pub close at hand for meals. Rooms are large and spacious with comfortable beds.

Really great place to stay, it's far enough away from the roads to feel peaceful but withing 3 mins you can be in Axminster or at the nature park. 15 mins to Lyme Regis as well which is great. On arrival it's clean and really well presented, got all the equipment you'd want especially with kids (stair gates top and bottom, high chairs, travel cots Read moreand mattresses, changing mat) plus a load of toys in the living area in the sideboard which was a real bonus! Clean and inviting place to stay. 10/10 Hide

We were pleased to find the cottage was not far from the road to Axminster, as we usually have to drive for miles down country lanes! There was no problem with traffic noise. We had everything in the cottage we needed, the wi-fi was very good and having smart TV's was a blessing. Lovely big garden, we would definitely return with our grandson

Absolutely beautiful cottage and had everything we needed!! The garden was absolutely fantastic and the children would of played all day if we had let them! The extra baby equipment like the high chairs and travel cots was extremely appreciated!! Only reason I didnt give full stars on cleanliness was we had to re wash a few plates, cups and cutleryRead more as they were very dirty. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day! Thank you for a wonderful stay! The scones were amazing to! Hide
