Enjoy wonderful original features, a warming wood burner and your own patio garden at this charming home away from home.

Enter through a traditional stable door, and you''ll find ample storage and hanging space, as well as a convenient utility room with cloakroom facilities. A stunning inglenook fireplace takes centre stage in the L-shaped lounge/diner/kitchen, beckoning you to cosy up with a loved one on the sofa while Rover snoozes in from of the wood burner.

Branscombe Beach (1.5 miles) beckons dog owners from near and far. This pristine coastline allows pups to roam freely on most of the beach throughout the year. For a more adventurous escapade, venture along the South West Coast Path. This scenic trail offers sweeping views of the coastline and countryside, providing plenty of opportunities for Rover to explore along the way. Alternatively, take a stroll through the enchanting village of Branscombe (1 mile).

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped with everything you could need. The local pub, although very rustic seved excellent food. The only downside was the narrow, winding roads leading in and out of the village- not for the faint hearted driver or those with a big or expensive car !

A very well appointed cottage with a comfortable bed, cosy and compact. Of note this is a very beautiful but isolated location. If this is what youre looking for, it is ideal, but prepare for many, many miles of single track lanes. It has birdlife, footpaths and history on your doorstep. Recommended for nature lovers.

This cottage is perfect for two people and if youre like us, a dog. Its in the most beautiful setting surrounded by hills, thatched cottages and well worn paths.
