Rural Holiday Cottage with Wonderful Countryside Views on Friendly Smallholding.

We converted Golden Square Cottage from an old dairy. The cottage was designed to make the most of the amazing views from our hill top position. The view from the bedrooms and the large private deck are really special.

The cottage is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage is in a great location for walking and exploring the Blackdown Hills and the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach for great days on the seafront.

Finished to a high standard, with every detail carefully thought out. We've tried to be as environmentally friendly as possible, installing solar panels to provide hot water, using responsibly sourced wood for the windows and doors made by a local craftsman, and using eco friendly paints and finishings wherever possible. As even rural areas are moving with the times we now have a Fibre Broadband connection at the cottage.

A perfect cottage.
A very comfortable cottage with everything you need. Lovely fresh eggs on arrival, two bathrooms and large fluffy towels made our stay extra special. A quiet area and waking up to amazing views and sunrises added to the charm. Our dogs loved the orchard which was a secure area for them. We enjoyed the wonderful countryside and the cottage was well situated for the coast too.

A home from Home
Set in idyllic surroundings the house was a perfect place to relax and unwind. The location was great and central to many villages, towns and lovely walks. It was fully equiped with everything you need. Rob and Kath were extremely welcoming and on hand for any advice or questions. Great place for a family who love adventure and being able to bring our dog with us made it even more special. Simba, our dog, especially loved his early morning play dates with Noah and Barney. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Excellent cottage stay
The cottage is really nice and cosy, feels like home. Stunning view over the hills and village, looks like a Christmas card scene with light fog and smoke from a nearby house. Brilliant log fire. The hosts were really friendly. Perfect experience.

Fantastic stay, excellent hosts and beautiful cottage
We had a fantastic stay, the hosts greeted us on arrival which was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and plenty big enough for a family of four. The beds were very comfy, the whole place was spotless. Thank you 😊 also for helping with the little “incident” with the dog. We will definitely be back. Thank you again

Wonderful location.
This property is located in a very picturesque setting. We found it very easy to find using the postal code in the owner’s directions. We found the home very clean, well stocked and comfortable. The location was a great base from which we explored the area.

A relaxing and quiet place to stay
Excellent. Decking area great for morning sun. Good views Good easy to use Log burning stove, not that the cottage was cold as has CH. Comfortable beds. Good layout of cottage. On site parking by cottage, handy to unload if wet. Good access to main roads, no bumpy gravel farm tracks to cope with. On site grounds to explore, with various animals to watch.

Stockland: 15th to 18th April 2023
We have stayed at this farm-house previously and very much enjoyed it. This time, we took our young dog with us. The walks are great, although hilly, and the countryside surrounding this very rural spot is very quiet. However, it is not too far from Honiton, and a little further, the coasts of Lyme Regis, Seaton & Sidmouth. Lovely clean, well kept and extremely well equipped accommodation, and the owners on site in their own house are very friendly and helpful, but will leave you alone to get on with your break. We will go again, as most places and resorts are dog friendly, as is the holiday home. Highly recommended.
