Completing the ground floor is the shower room. A staircase in the living room leads up to the first floor where there is a family bathroom featuring a bathtub for relaxation, and a tasteful double bedroom (zip and link so option of double or twin beds). Finally, on the second floor, there is the king-size bedroom which has gorgeous, exposed beams across the ceiling. Outside, the enclosed patio garden is a lovely place to sit out when the weather is nice, with a set of garden furniture as well as a garden room featuring a Smart TV and a sofa.

A lovely clean and comfortable cottage. White company bedding and quality kitchen and comfy sofa. A good location in central Axminster close to shops and pubs and restaurants. Cheap parking nearby and lots of local places to visit - recommended.

This is a comfortable and characterful old cottage which has been very nicely modernised, with high quality fittings. It's ideally located for the town centre and was very convenient for the shops/pub and also for bus access for anyone travelling without a car.

Beautifully appointed cottage in a quiet convenient location. Everything is clean and comfortable. The outside space is very pleasant and well maintained with seating and a table for meals outside on warmer days. Plenty of parking close by but drop off and pick up only outside the cottage. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and familyRead more. Hide

We had a most comfortable stay in the cottage. All needs we catered for both human and dog friendly. The stairs were steep and perhaps a challenge for less mobile. Great outside space for both humans and dogs. Quiet neighbourhood and little traffic due to road closure. No parking at the cottage but street parking a short distance away was no probleRead morem. Dog walking by river Axe a short walk away. Hide
