    “Really lovely, well equipped cottage.”

    The games room was a brilliant addition. The owners were really friendly and we had some delicious cake and fresh eggs waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage is a bit remote but only 10-15 minutes from Honiton and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis. Really peaceful and lovely.

The property

4 miles from Colyton, deep in thick, lush hedgerow lanes in the Coly Valley, is the sleepy hamlet of Northleigh, 5 to 7 miles from the lovely coastal villages of Beer, Sidmouth and Branscombe.

On the edge of Northleigh, three cottages converted from traditional Devon barns with extensive views over surrounding farmland.

An acre of lawn (barbecue) for energetic ball games or just sitting under a shading cherry tree and enjoying gorgeous rural views.

Shared laundry room (washing machine, tumble drier, freezer) and games barn (table tennis, ¼-sized snooker table, darts, table football) which can be adapted into a big dining room for special occasions, by arrangement.

When booked together, the cottages accommodate 14 guests.

Ducks on the pond (fenced), cobblestones in the courtyard, a soppy dog and dignified cat make this an utterly charming place to stay, unwind and enjoy a friendly, rural idyll.

The Shippen: door from courtyard into open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge, electric cooker) with woodburner, TV/DVD and glazed door to patio (table/chairs) with lovely far-reaching rural views.

Two bedrooms - a double, and a twin; big bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

At the back, the shared lawn. Colyton: ancient little town on the River Coly with buildings dating from the Domesday Book, Norman church and unique, independently owned shops, pubs and restaurants.

Tramway to the coast at Seaton, 3 miles.

Pecorama railway attraction/gardens, 5 miles.

Honiton, 7 miles; Lyme Regis, 9.

On the East Devon Way footpath between Lyme Regis and Exmouth.
