    Ozgur told us about the history of the properties and the amount of work they carried out when they bought them. It’s a credit to them both, we stayed in the Hayloft, which had everything and more you could wish for, it was extremely comfortable and the views were to die for , and so peaceful, the first night we were there , there was a clear sky and with no light pollution we had never seen so many stars it was a wonderful sight. It is also great for exploring that part of the country, with Lyme Regis and Sidmouth being only 1/2hr away, but also much more to see and do, or just stay there and enjoy the local area, there’s a pub just 1/2mile away which is easily walkable and can recommend for either just a drink or a meal if you fancy a change from cooking. You also have the added bonus of the hot tub if you been out walking or just chilling and enjoy the fantastic views. On arrival we had cake, milk and eggs from their chickens which was a lovely touch, also a personalised welcome card which just shows how Sara and Ozgur go above and beyond to make you welcome. We would definitely recommend this place to all our friends and family without hesitation and would love to go back one day.

About the location

HONITON

Ottery St Mary 5.6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.2 miles; Exeter 16.7 miles.

Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.

Blackdown Cottage Escapes at Lower Lye is an historic Grade 2* listed medieval hall house, this property is based on the farmstead on the grounds. The holiday cottages & curtilage are therefore listed by association. The site, because of its age & heritage has many uneven, non-level surfaces. Much of the outside amenity space & paths are cobbled. There is also open water & several streams. Whilst these features add to the character & charm here & we do not wish to exclude children or those less stable on their feet, it might well be that we are not best suited to their requirements.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Christmas
