    “This was our 7th visit to this property in just under two years, and regretably looks to be our last.”

    Changes between our visit in June and this visit has made a difference to the over all experience. Arrival time delayed / changed by one hour mid contract; lack of information concerning change of property management company from Sykes; and problems / condition of property / lack of some basics upon arrival all added up to disappointment. A fair analogy after 6 previous visits to this property would be: 'you go to a store regularly and purchase a particular tin / package of an item, but then the ...

    Changes between our visit in June and this visit has made a difference to the over all experience. Arrival time delayed / changed by one hour mid contract; lack of information concerning change of property management company from Sykes; and problems / condition of property / lack of some basics upon arrival all added up to disappointment. A fair analogy after 6 previous visits to this property would be: 'you go to a store regularly and purchase a particular tin / package of an item, but then the next time you do so, the size is the same, the price (an assumption) is the same, but when you open it there is less inside'. That sums up our feelings about this lastest visit to 2 Smugglers Close. And we now see the changeover day is being moved to a Friday, which does impact on us visiting again. Friday changeovers are to be blunt, 'ridiculous for travel and all else combined when organizing / dealing with one's holiday'. All good things come to an end, and it certainly looks as if the holiday's we have enjoyed at Smuggler's Close have now ended.

The property

In Branscombe, one of the prettiest villages on the south coast with a picturesque, gentle walk to the beach, less than 1/2 mile long, providing ample car parking, via the road.

A popular pub and restaurant is yards away and there is an excellent beach cafe with a small shop, open all summer and 4 days a week during the winter months.

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 (Freeview TV/DVD, Radio).

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

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

Branscombe: with church, two excellent pubs, licensed restaurant, thatched cottages, 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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

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.
