    “This is truly a home from home cottage.”

    There are lots of lovely touches everywhere: plants, bathroom toiletries etc. The box of dog toys and especially the dog biscuits went down well with our little pooch. The snug opening to the garden was perfect to put the dog bed and the comfortable upstairs perfect for us. The accommodation is warm and bright even on a rainy day and the location excellent to explore the coastal towns of Sidmouth, Beer and Lyme Regis, all within half an hour’s drive.

    There are lots of lovely touches everywhere: plants, bathroom toiletries etc. The box of dog toys and especially the dog biscuits went down well with our little pooch. The snug opening to the garden was perfect to put the dog bed and the comfortable upstairs perfect for us. The accommodation is warm and bright even on a rainy day and the location excellent to explore the coastal towns of Sidmouth, Beer and Lyme Regis, all within half an hour’s drive. There is a great dog walk near the river in Ottery St Mary and the local farm shop serves wonderful home made food (it is dog friend too). All in all, a lovely stay.
