Holiday cottage, Axminster (1.5mls S) - Sleeps 4 (FCH79208)

Choose beautiful Axminster as the destination for your family getaway and stay in this impressive property that has ample room for your party of four. Ideal for couples, families or friends catching up, you’ll soon be swapping the stresses of modern life for suppers with a view and days exploring the glorious coast and countryside.

Stylish and comfortable with quirky extra touches, this stone property is a sanctuary after a busy day exploring the countryside. Stone walls, wooden flooring and surprisingly contemporary fixtures and fittings set the scene in the open-plan living space, and the crackling wood burner is a bonus on chilly evenings.

Make yourself a coffee using the Nespresso coffee machine and admire the views from the patio doors, perhaps even descending the steps to stroll around the shared garden. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom for restful evenings. To really unwind, why not treat yourself and book the on-site beautician/masseuse for a spot of pampering.

Best known for celebrity chefs, carpets and stunning countryside, Axminster is a favourite for foodies and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The town itself is 1.5 miles away, but you’ll find it easy to access a plethora of walks directly from your doorstep throughout ancient woodland and along winding river trails.

Spot curlews and oystercatchers from the estuary, following the East Devon Way footpath or cycling along the Buzzard Route, both of which can be joined on the outskirts of town. For children, the Axe Valley Wildlife Park is a treat 2.5 miles away, promising a fun day out for all the family.
