Our home is a beautiful and quirky grade 2 listed thatched cottage, with a modern extension. On the ground floor there is a large lounge, kitchen and garden room, along with the master bedroom with en-suite. Up three stairs takes you to bedroom 3 which has twin beds. Up a short (but steep) flight of stairs you get bedroom 2, which has a very large landing we use as a play space. Bedroom 2 has a double bed. The house was originally built in mid 1600s and there is an inglenook, remains of a bread oven and low ceilings (in the lounge). The heavy oak beams in the lounge started their lives as ship masts. There are wonky walls and floors in the cottage but these contrast nicely with the modern extension which is spacious, light and bright. The garden is beautiful, with a large lawn perfect for football or croquet. A small brook runs through the garden and on the other side, over a small bridge, we have a rewilded area where there are wild flowers and fruit trees. The house is down the end of a lane, there is no passing traffic and all you will hear at night are the local owls, foxes, badgers and deer. The village is very quiet; lots of footpaths crisscross the fields so walking about is very popular. Bring your wellies! The local beaches are Seaton, Lyme Regis and Charmouth. For fossil finders young and old, head to Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Exeter is a 45 minute drive away, and well worth a day out. Sidmouth and Bridport are both bigger towns with lots to do. As hosts we will be able to advise possible itineraries based on individual bookings. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33607100/33607059/672e9628.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary barn in the East Devon countryside, close to the coast.
