A very comfortable cottage, well-furnished, very clean. Well-placed for the Jurassic coast. A very good large farm shop (Millers) less than 3 miles away, in addition to a supermarket and other shops in Axminster. Recommended.

We had a fantastic week staying here as a family of four with a five and a seven year old. It was the perfect location for exploring the Jurassic Coast. We enjoyed trips to Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Seaton and Kimmeridge Bay! There was so much to see and do. The cottage has a beautiful view overlooking fields and was exceptionally clean. TheRead more beds were really comfy. We received a warm welcome from the host Louise and lovely welcome gifts. We would definitely recommend this cottage. Hide

As a family of 4 with two children, aged 8 and 5, we had a brilliant week away in this fantastic cottage. I cooked most nights and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare and cook meals. We loved the views across the hills and its location made it easy to get to local amenities. We loved visiting Lyme Regis and West Bay for some exciting fosRead moresil hunting and the kids loved Crealy Theme Park, and Wookey Holes (if you don't mind a drive). Thank you for a lovely week!

Thank you Louise and Brian, we had a wonderful Christmas at the Sundowner cottage. The Cottage was just perfect for us. Spacious, exceptionally clean, very comfortable with beautiful far reaching countryside views. The Christmas tree and decorations were spot on. The hamper was a lovely touch! We highly recommend the Sundowner.
