“Our stay at Marlborough cottage was lovely.”

The cottage itself was a great mix of traditional and contemporary, very homely with everything we needed and more spacious than we expected from the photos and perfect for our first holiday away with our dog.The gardens were interesting and well designed -we could have only hoped for some sunnier weather to make use of the many outdoor seating areas.

The cottage itself was a great mix of traditional and contemporary, very homely with everything we needed and more spacious than we expected from the photos and perfect for our first holiday away with our dog.The gardens were interesting and well designed -we could have only hoped for some sunnier weather to make use of the many outdoor seating areas. The property is in a great location for enjoying many of the local beaches/villages but in such a quiet hamlet so feels truly relaxing. We recommend the walks at Golden Cap (fantastic views) and Trinity Hill woods for dog walking( although v limited parking at latter). Property was very warm due to the Aga and would have been nice to have a few board games ( these may have been removed due to Covid guidance??)

“We had the loveliest of holidays in Marlborough Cottage.”

It couldn't have been cleaner, warmer, welcoming or more tastefully decorated and furnished. The Aga was a real treat, as was the fire, and the garden was a delight (even if it was too wet to really enjoy!). And I know this sounds a silly comment, but to find a well-stocked kitchen made such a refreshing and stress-free change the some of the places we've been to before - big thumbs up for sharp knives, sufficient pans and utensils, and big enough cooking pots for a family! The location is fabulous - so so remote and peaceful, yet 10 mins from Lyme Regis and a 15 mins from our friends in Sidmouth. Booking was easy (but we'd expect that, to be honest) but the following communications were thorough and clear from Sykes, and the personal welcome email from the owners was a really lovely touch. Many thanks for a lovely week in the middle of some really bleak times!

“The house was very easy to live in - well organised , warm and lovely.”

There were lots of sheltered spots in the well maintained and pretty garden. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches nearby

“We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely cottage which just kept on giving.”

The garden and garden room was a delight, large and very well tended. The house was generously provisioned and had everything to make our holiday enjoyable and comfortable.

“The tranquility you will experience in the outstanding setting of Malborough Cottage cannot be emphasised enough.”

The cottage lies a peaceful valley surrounded by a picturesque garden. It is a warm inviting and extremely comfortable holiday home. You won’t want to leave!

“Had a wonderful break.”

.. the cottage is set in a beautiful spot with stunning scenery! The garden had something for everyone.. for me, watching the sun go down with a G&T was one of the highlights!

“A Little Gem of a Cottage”

A picture perfect chocolate box cottage - thatched roof and tucked away in a quiet valley just minutes away from the coast. Fabulous garden - deceptively large, terraced, with many garden 'rooms' and beautifully maintained. Superbly appointed inside - just watch the low beams or you'll keep banging your head like I did ! A very minor gripe is that the beds were a little firm for our liking but in all other respects absolutely first class in every respect. The surrounding area is rather beautiful too - Lyme Regis just a few minutes away and other enchanting coastal villages like Beer and Sidmouth less than 20 minutes away too. Countryside is jaw-dropping. All in all a great cottage in a sublime location. Thoroughly recommended.
