Refurbished in 2020, this beautifully restored barn combines country style with contemporary features. With outstanding views over rolling countryside, this is the ideal base for a relaxing break

Choose beautiful Axminster as the destination for your family getaway and stay in this impressive property that has ample room for your party of four. Ideal for couples, families or friends catching up, you’ll soon be swapping the stresses of modern life for suppers with a view and days exploring the glorious coast and countryside.

Stylish and comfortable with quirky extra touches, this stone property is a sanctuary after a busy day exploring the countryside. Stone walls, wooden flooring and surprisingly contemporary fixtures and fittings set the scene in the open-plan living space, and the crackling wood burner is a bonus on chilly evenings. Make yourself a coffee using the Nespresso coffee machine and admire the views from the patio doors, perhaps even descending the steps to stroll around the shared garden. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom for restful evenings. To really unwind, why not treat yourself and book the on-site beautician/masseuse for a spot of pampering.

Best known for celebrity chefs, carpets and stunning countryside, Axminster is a favourite for foodies and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The town itself is 1.5 miles away, but you’ll find it easy to access a plethora of walks directly from your doorstep throughout ancient woodland and along winding river trails. Spot curlews and oystercatchers from the estuary, following the East Devon Way footpath or cycling along the Buzzard Route, both of which can be joined on the outskirts of town. For children, the Axe Valley Wildlife Park is a treat 2.5 miles away, promising a fun day out for all the family.

As a family of 4 with two children, aged 8 and 5, we had a brilliant week away in this fantastic cottage. I cooked most nights and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare and cook meals. We loved the views across the hills and its location made it easy to get to local amenities. We loved visiting Lyme Regis and West Bay for some exciting fosRead moresil hunting and the kids loved Crealy Theme Park, and Wookey Holes (if you don't mind a drive). Thank you for a lovely week!

Thank you Louise and Brian, we had a wonderful Christmas at the Sundowner cottage. The Cottage was just perfect for us. Spacious, exceptionally clean, very comfortable with beautiful far reaching countryside views. The Christmas tree and decorations were spot on. The hamper was a lovely touch! We highly recommend the Sundowner.

We stayed for 4 nights with our two kids (10yrs & 8yrs old). The Sundowner was immaculately clean and an extremely comfortable place to relax after a long day at the beach - plenty of space to lounge and the kids could go and play in the field at the back if they wanted to run around. We did a relatively short stay but the location was great as it'Read mores so close to Lyme Regis and Sidmouth where we spent most of our time. The owners were also really friendly. We had a lovely break. Hide

A perfect getaway with amazing views and beautifully decorated accommodation. Our 17 month old had the time of her life with the open space and feeding the cows. The hosts were brilliant and the little touches made the difference. Close to amenities and beaches and we look forward to visiting again.
