Overview
Property code: OC-NHOUS

Get out and about in the beautiful countryside of Somerset, Dorset and Devon from this character home near Musbury in Devon. One of two exquisite properties set within a former Devon longhouse, it welcomes up to six guests and two of their happy hounds. Close to the borders of all three counties, this charming holiday home is well positioned for enjoying the best of the coast and the countryside. It also benefits from a large garden where your playful pups can run and romp to their heart’s content.

Find your charming stone cottage offers generous space while also exuding character. Airy, well-proportioned rooms mean you and your furry friends can spread out and savour this home-from-home. Settle down together in your lounge, with its inglenook fireplace and wood burner, after lengthy forays into your surroundings. Feed your happy chaps in the country-style kitchen and let them pad through to the dining room afterwards to keep you company while you gather around the table. Find a shower room and WC at ground floor level and a family bathroom up on the first floor, where your three bedrooms are also situated. Gather together on the terrace on sunny days and take turns playing with your perfect pets well into the warm evening.

Head out from the home to follow fabulous footpaths through the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Drive 4 miles to Seaton to pick up a stretch of the South West Coast Path. Walk 3.5 miles with your lively pets to Lyme Regis, through the Undercliffs National Nature Reserve and along the highlights of the Jurassic Coast. Enjoy bluebells and daffodils in the springtime. Picnic and look for fossils on the beaches at East Cliff, Church Cliff and Monmouth, where your furry friends can frolic all year round.

The location of this cottage is superb and it is so quick and easy to reach key sites such as Lyme Regis, the pretty village of Branscombe, Seaton and Beer which all have great coastal walks. Although the cottage is in the middle with two other properties either side, we were never disturbed by any noise. It was very peaceful and quiet. We had mixeRead mored feelings about the cottage itself. Room proportions were good. There was adequate seating but everything felt rather tired and we felt there was no evidence that the cleaning fee was being used to good effect - cobwebs abounded everywhere. On reflection we would not return. Hide

Castlewood Cottage was a lovely cottage. It had all the necessary equipment in the kitchen, including a mixer, freezer and two fridges. The garden was pleasant, the surroundings beautiful. The local pub serves good food and good advice: a boat trip along the Jurassic coast, starting in Exmouth. One minor drawback: the beds were rather short and noRead moret very wide. As a tall family, we found this made sleeping a little less comfortable. So bear this in mind if you are tall and are thinking of visiting this cottage. Hide

We very much enjoyed our stay at New House! The location is lovely, down a rural lane, amongst the fields, attached to a working farm albeit that proved no issue in terms of noise or disturbance. The property is literally a country farm house and so accepting of its quirkiness and style is a must. The log burner in the lounge was a big plus and useRead mored a lot. Downstairs shower way better than the upstairs. Lovely secure garden out the back if you have dogs. We very much enjoyed our stay. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at Newhouse, which was mostly positive, with regular visits from Molly, the owner's dog, and friendly owners. However, some quality-of-life improvements could be made such as; more clarity on the booking page about how the fire is only available during the winter months, the downstairs shower having an extra shelf for soaps and Read moreextra cushions for the wooden chairs in the dining room. We enjoyed our stay, but these improvements could help boost the experience. Hide
