LOCATION

The cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside, sitting across the lane from a small brook which eventually runs through the main street of Budleigh, a mile away. Walking is almost endless, starting from the gate. Easy routes will take you over the nearby Commons and to the red sandstone cliffs of the East Devon coastal path. For birdwatchers, the 3 mile River Otter path from the pretty village of Otterton to Budleigh beach is a beautiful and level walk partly alongside conserved reed beds and salt marshes.

The area generally has something to offer everyone: Budleigh's  famous pebble shore, Exmouth's 2 miles of sandy beach and the Exe estuary, Exeter's cathedral, shops  and historic quayside, several excellent golf courses and many National Trust and similar properties.

Just along the coast, at Sidmouth, the fabulous International Folk Festival takes place each summer.

The Dorset and East Devon Coast has been proposed as a World Heritage Site because of its outstanding, beautiful  and accessible geology - see http://www.jurassiccoast.com/

Just 300 yards away is the local pub where good value meals can be enjoyed. The nearest shops and restaurants are in Budleigh and a large Tesco supermarket is just 2 miles towards Exmouth.
