The space
Alfington Farm Cottage is situated between the historic towns of Ottery St Mary and Honiton. It is a wonderful location for walkers with almost one hundred footpaths; from the level paths along the banks of the River Otter punctuated by pubs and restaurants, to the coastal paths rising to nearly nine hundred feet.
There are a wide array of individual shops with local produce, antiques shops, including the renown "Fagin's" and "Toby's" as featured in Kirsty Allsop's Homemade Homes, together with pubs and cafes for you to visit.
Within easy reach is the Historic Roman City of Exeter with its cathedral and free "Red-coat walking tours". To the east are Charmouth and Lyme Regis, the original home of one of the founders of modern archeology, Mary Anning, which still offer some of the best fossil hunting in the UK accessible to young and old alike. The Jurassic coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty and offers access to fabulous beaches and charming seaside towns such as Budleigh Salterton, Beer, Branscombe, Exmouth, Sidmouth and Lyme regis, which are all found along this stretch of coastline. Further afield is Dartmoor and Exmoor all within a 30 mins drive.
