“It feels just like home but in even better surroundings.”

We love Branscombe and to have such a convenient base is wonderful. The house is very well equipped, clean to a very high standard and has amazing views, all just a fifteen minute walk from the sea.What is not to like?

My daughter has a dog and there are lots of good walks nearby. We went last year and will go again if possible.

“After a 6 hour drive we were all very tired when we arrived so when we went in and found all sorts of welcome goodies it was a lovely surprise, we then had a look round and found everything so clean and bright, the bedrooms were a good size and more to the point the beds were very comfy.”

The village is lovely and the locals were very welcoming. We would definitely go back.
Mrs Green May 2019

“Delightful cottage in idyllic surroundings.”

Excellent base for exploring the area. Excellent facilities, warm and cosy. We have already re booked for next year
Mrs Jenkins March 2019

“Comfortable, warm, well appointed cottage.”

Very peaceful.
Mr Walder December 2018

“Great location in the centre of Branscombe and only a short walk to the beach.”

Very comfortable property with everything catered for and a very flexible and easy check-in and out.
Mrs Lockwood October 2018

“The cottage was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed, plus more!”

On arrival we were greeted with beautiful flowers, wine, biscuits and tea/coffee! Our holiday started the moment we turned the key! The location was perfect for long walks in the day and evenings spent by the open fire at The Masons Arms. We would highly recommend this cottage!
Mr Beardmore September 2018

“Perfect home from home.”
Mr Johnson September 2018

“The cottage location and atmosphere was worth the drive for two miles down a country lane, On arrival we were made VERY WELCOME after a long journey.”

Usually you have to unpack before you can sit back and relax with coffee, tea or even chocolate, it was all here. I will say no more as the biggest surprise is waiting for you when you book this beautiful cottage, add to that the view as you sit in the dining room is something to treasure. Ok no local shop, no mobile phone contact, but surely that last thing will ensure you don`t get pestered with problems you have left behind. There is WI FI if you really need it, but step out of this modern world and just relax in very comfortable beds with the main bedroom giving you views you just want to wake up to. The lovely beach is half a mile along the road with cafe, the Masons Arms a couple of strides frtom the cottage serve good food, but do book before you go, even in September. Our Favourite place has always been Sidmouth with the Connaught Gardens and Cafe, Big Portions here. Don`t forget the friends at the Donkey Sanctuary with its new look and Resturaunt. The beaches and villages of Beer & Seaton well worth a visit and ofcourse Lyme Regis. We visited the Beer Caves, a Cathedral in its own right, you can take pictures but I am glad I bought the video at a cost of £5 as it encompasses the whole experience. Ian & Zoe our hosts could not have given us more. We will be returning to 2 Smugglers cottage in the future Thankyou for a perfect holiday home.
Mrs Cicuttin July 2018

“Everything was great and the cottage was fantastic.”

The only slight downside was that there was no garden however there was a footpath nearby which led to nice area.
Mrs Hunt June 2018

“Overall, we were very pleased with the holiday cottage.”

The little extra touches such as the flowers and the soap made it different. The welcome pack was most welcome and the extras with the umbrellas and torches showed a lot of thought had gone into the organisation. The only drawback was that the outside steps were very steep. Both my husband and I are in our 60s and my husband has COPD and he found it impossible to carry the cases up the steps so I feel mention should be made of these and perhaps a suggestion that the front door in the first instance would be a better bet. Another older couple had mentioned that an extra grab rail outside the rear porch door would be helpful and we agree as my husband managed to take a tumble down these. It would not, however, stop us renting this cottage again as we would be forearmed. The cottage was beautiful and the views were outstanding. Every morning we would watch the rabbits and pheasants from the bedroom window.
Ms Owen June 2018

“Smugglers close was stunning clean tidy beautifully presented peaceful with an amazing outlook.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely book with helpful holidays again
Mrs Phillips May 2018

“Lovely touches on arrival, fresh flowers, bottles of wine, biscuits, towels beautifully laid out with soap on top, excellent kitchen equipment don't often get sharp cooking knives on holiday.”

Very comfortable beds with cotton bedlinen, comfortable, non-plastic settees, the soft furnishings are up to date and very tasteful, no mould around the bathroom fitments - fantastic pub close by, only 10 minutes from the sea front via a lovely off road pathway, I could go on...........

The property

In Branscombe, on a quiet lane less than ½ mile from the beach and Coast Path and yards from one of the popular pubs, a neat cottage in a small terrace of three.

Surrounded by National Trust land with lovely long views from most rooms and excellent walking from the door, the cottage has been enjoyed by the owners family as their own holiday home; a recent revamp brings a smart modern feel with the occasional characterful retro touch.

From the private drive (lockable storage area) to the rear, gentle slope to tiled steps up to landing (table/chairs) and front door to lobby (fridge-freezer).

Country-style kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, larder fridge, electric oven), full of light with big picture window and those views.

Smart living room (smart TV/DVD, wireless music system).

Upstairs (stairgate), three bedrooms - a double and two snug twins (limited space around beds); bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

Alternative entrance via lane with 2 steps up to back door.

The beach and pubs are an easy stroll from this handy heart-of-village location with beautiful surroundings. Branscombe: one of the prettiest villages on the south coast (church, two excellent pubs, licensed restaurant, thatched cottages) with a fine pebbly beach, located at the meeting of two valleys or combes.

Sidmouth (seaside town), 3 miles.

Lyme Regis (lovely seaside harbour town) and famous 'Jurassic' fossil coast, 10 miles.

About the location

BRANSCOMBE

Sidmouth 5.6 miles.

Branscombe is located at the meeting point of two valleys, home to a collection of thatched cottages that lead the way to the sea, and the village is believed to be the longest in England. A number of historic buildings are worth noting; the Old Bakery and Forge, both National Trust properties, are just some of which can be found nearby. Branscombe Mouth has a beach with good parking facilities, a licensed restaurant complete with thatched roof and a wealth of rock pools just waiting to be searched for crabs and other sea creatures. Why not take a trip out to Sidmouth and the surrounding countryside where you’ll find a great range of attractions and activities to entertain the whole family, including a visit to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary with over 500 rescue donkeys to see. World of Country Life is just a few miles away and is an award winning family day out.
