DAISY COTTAGE in peaceful rural location

Property Description
----------------------------
Daisy Cottage is a 2 bedroom barn conversion. It is extremely well insulated keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. The cottage faces south-west and so is in the sun for most of the day.

The ground floor provides a light and airy open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, dining table and a lounge area with cosy wood burner. Full height windows extend the living space, opening out onto a south-facing patio and graveled courtyard that provide the perfect suntrap from which to enjoy a morning cup of tea or al-fresco dining. The modern bathroom includes a shower over the bath and under floor heating.

Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms with exposed beams and stripped wood floors, reflecting the character of the original building. The master bedroom is equipped with a comfortable double divan bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe with space for a travel cot or standard cot which can be supplied on request. There are far reaching views over the surrounding Devon countryside from the master bedroom. The second bedroom is equipped with two full size single divan beds, chest of drawers and wardrobe.

Facilities and services:
Bed linen and towels included. Electric heating and logs for wood burner included. Space for a cot for additional infant in the double bedroom - please request when booking if required. Highchair and Stair Gate also available on request.

WiFi access available on site. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN EXTRAS

If you require additional accommodation for a second family etc. Buttercup Cottage is available next door which can be booked separately subject to availability.

Amenities:
There is a mini market at the local garage at Wilmington stocking fresh milk and bread and a basic range of groceries. Also in Wilmington, there is a small farm shop and a thatched pub serving a range of local beers and good local food.

The market town of Honiton (4 miles) has a good range of local shops and a twice weekly street market. Similarly Axminster (7 miles), has a weekly market and boasts the Riverside Cottage shop. Colyton is a smaller town, with interesting little shops, including the award winning Colyton Butchers.

The entire area is rich with excellent country pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. We will be pleased to provide you with our recommendations.

The Roman city of Exeter with its beautiful cathedral and green, and Taunton, the county town of Somerset, are both approximately 18 miles distant. For shoppers, either of these offers a full range of High Street chain stores and individual shops.

Recreation:
Daisy cottage is well situated for walkers with an excellent network of paths and tracks through the beautiful Devon countryside, many of which can be started from your own front door. The East Devon Way passes within a mile of the cottage, and the spectacular South West Coastal path is nearby. Slightly further afield, but within easy driving distance, are Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Blackdown Hills.

The coast is close at hand with the picturesque villages of Beer and Branscombe (6 miles), the Regency town of Sidmouth (12 miles), historic Lyme Regis (12 miles) and Seaton (6 miles).

At Colyton, there is the Seaton Tramway with vintage trams running to Seaton. Many other local attractions, gardens and National Trust properties are close at hand.

Beautiful location. Lovely cottage.

Deep in the Devon countryside yet within easy reach of local villages and town (and only a short drive to the Donkey Sanctuary) this is a well appointed property with all you need for a great holiday. The owners are friendly and welcoming - even the resident pheasant is friendly! All in all a wonderful late Spring holiday. We will certainly want to return.

Beautiful cottage and setting

We had a three night stay in Daisy Cottage and found everything to be perfect for our needs. It's very warm and cosy inside and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Perfect for local walks or exploring the Jurassic coast. Tony was very friendly and communication prior and during our stay was excellent. Highly recommend.

Lovely cosy cottage

Lovely cosy cottage. Enjoyed our long weekend very much. Cottage has everything you need and there was a lovely welcome pack of biscuits and fudge on arrival plus milk, tea bags and coffee. Quiet area and as expected, narrow lanes in and out so expect lots of reversing to let vehicles passed. Played 2 golf courses during our visit - Honiton & Axe Cliff, also visited The Donkey Sanctuary which is an amazing place and well worth a visit. If you’re not in a hurry to get anywhere, Daisy Cottage is an ideal place to stay.

Lovely, quaint cottage

Quaint little cottage in the beautiful Devonshire countryside. Perfect base for exploring the the surrounding areas, our children loved the outdoor play area and the very friendly chickens! The cottage was clean and comfortable with a nice little welcome pack of treats. Milk in the fridge was a nice touch for a much needed cuppa upon arrival!

Devon break

The property was lovely clean and in good decorative order, everything worked. The location is very quiet, the terrace outside was a sun trap. Lovely views of the Devon Countryside from the main bedroom window and outside. Play area for kids and barbecues are provided.

Absolutely Wonderful.

Daisy Cottage was an absolute winner. In a perfect location with nothing but fields around. Inside was beautiful, with a log fire, for cooler evenings and underfloor heating in the bathroom which was an extra special touch. I would recommend Daisy cottage to anyone. You do need to be a driver. Or, at least, have one driver in your party.

Great for families with young children

The location of this property is definitely it's best feature if you like to be in the countryside. The roads are very narrow so maybe avoid if you're not the most confident driver. But it's easy enough to get to Exmouth and Sidmouth for trips to the coast. The kids play area was also a big selling point for us as it meant our young children could play while we relaxed and this wasn't a disappointment when we got there. The kids had so much fun. Our friends also rented the cottage nextdoor so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The inside of the cottage was spacious except the kitchen dining area. Unfortunately the dining table only has room for 2, thankfully the weather was good enough (just) to be able to eat outside but it would be a bit of a struggle in the colder months to eat as a family. Also be aware that the freezer is tiny so don't bring/buy loads of ice, ice blocks or frozen food. The cottage could benefit from some updates but the photos and description are accurate. Overall we had a lovely family holiday and would be happy to book this cottage again.

Lovely stay

We had a great time at Daisy Cottage. There has clearly been a lot of thought put in to the facilities, e.g. there was washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing tablets, tea, coffee and milk left for our use. The play area was a hit with the three year old in our group. The location is great with a Tesco's a 10 minute drive away in Honiton and the coast not that far away either. Thank you for ensuring we had such a lovely stay.

Daisy cottage

There was no connection for our mobile phone, only by wifi. We could not phone anyone. The dinertable was very small. It is an two onder one roof cottage and noisy. The garden and washingmachine are for both cottages. Not a lot of privacy. The beds are great and the bathroom also. The kitchen is fine and well equipted. The space in the livingroom is small. The road to the cottage is a small path for only one car. The area is great and the contryside beautifull.

Cosy Daisy Cottage

Das kleine cottage war genau richtig für meinen Mann und mich. Es liegt so wundervoll in den grünen Hügeln von East Devon. Das Häuschen ist sehr sauber und gut mit allem ausgestattet. Eine ruhigere Lage ist kaum möglich. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten an der Jurassic coast sind innerhalb von 30 - 40 Minuten zu erreichen. Das Fahren auf den 'single track' roads darf man nicht scheuen. Es geht oft nur durch Hecken.
