About this property

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.

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.

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 country escape
The hosts had thought of everything to make us comfortable. The grandchildren enjoyed viewing cows next door and eating the chickens eggs. East Devon had loads to offer and we had a great time.

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.

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.

Relax
Absolutely lovely property, away from noise and busy city life. If you looking for peace and quiet it is absolutely perfect, but villages and shops just few minutes drive away, beautiful place!
