    “Wow wow wow!”

    ! What a hidden gem in the beautiful village of Colyton. One really couldn’t want for more. From arriving and being greeted by the hosts, the welcome just got better and better. As i entered the property, all of my dreams for a home from home experience unfolded. The table was laid with an afternoon cream tea and the selection of teabags was sublime. The kitchen cupboards were full of beautiful crockery and utensils, baking paper, foil and even matches to light my aromatherapy candle ...

    ! What a hidden gem in the beautiful village of Colyton. One really couldn’t want for more. From arriving and being greeted by the hosts, the welcome just got better and better. As i entered the property, all of my dreams for a home from home experience unfolded. The table was laid with an afternoon cream tea and the selection of teabags was sublime. The kitchen cupboards were full of beautiful crockery and utensils, baking paper, foil and even matches to light my aromatherapy candle. Washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, hoover. Drying stand, TV, Radio and and and……. The 3 Dallyteers quickly explored the gardens and field. The boundaries in the field were clear and there is a beautiful viewpoint where sunrise can be witnessed. Great location near a freshwater river with endless footpaths to explore. Short drive to find the sea in Charnmouth, Seaton, Beer and my favourite Lyme Regis. This is only meant to be a short review but I so much wanted to explain that it really couldn’t get any better. Dog friendly to perfection but a warning to the neighbours that each cottage is in close proximity to the others, set in a beautiful courtyard and dogs can bark intermittently which does not mean that they are poorly behaved. They just have a voice! I’ll definitely be back
