Further along the hall is a handy ground-floor shower room and WC. The cottage style steep staircase in the lounge leads you to the first floor where you’ll find the large family bathroom with a free standing roll top bath and WC, then across the hall, a delightful king size bedroom with zip n link beds that can be made into a twin room. Heading up to the second floor, there is a stylish king-size bedroom with beautiful exposed beams and stunning views across the Axe Valley.

Outside, there is a large enclosed patio garden complete with an outdoor table and seating to enjoy al fresco dining with planters full of herbs. A garden games room offers a comfy sofa, a Wii Console and plenty of toys for the children, or a sunny spot for a peaceful read and to plan your next day of fun.

A lovely clean and comfortable cottage. White company bedding and quality kitchen and comfy sofa. A good location in central Axminster close to shops and pubs and restaurants. Cheap parking nearby and lots of local places to visit - recommended.

This is a comfortable and characterful old cottage which has been very nicely modernised, with high quality fittings. It's ideally located for the town centre and was very convenient for the shops/pub and also for bus access for anyone travelling without a car.

Beautifully appointed cottage in a quiet convenient location. Everything is clean and comfortable. The outside space is very pleasant and well maintained with seating and a table for meals outside on warmer days. Plenty of parking close by but drop off and pick up only outside the cottage. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and familyRead more. Hide

We had a most comfortable stay in the cottage. All needs we catered for both human and dog friendly. The stairs were steep and perhaps a challenge for less mobile. Great outside space for both humans and dogs. Quiet neighbourhood and little traffic due to road closure. No parking at the cottage but street parking a short distance away was no probleRead morem. Dog walking by river Axe a short walk away. Hide
