DAISY COTTAGE in peaceful rural location

Property Description
----------------------------
Daisy Cottage is a 2 bedroom barn conversion. It is extremely well insulated keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. The cottage faces south-west and so is in the sun for most of the day.

The ground floor provides a light and airy open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, dining table and a lounge area with cosy wood burner. Full height windows extend the living space, opening out onto a south-facing patio and graveled courtyard that provide the perfect suntrap from which to enjoy a morning cup of tea or al-fresco dining. The modern bathroom includes a shower over the bath and under floor heating.

Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms with exposed beams and stripped wood floors, reflecting the character of the original building. The master bedroom is equipped with a comfortable double divan bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe with space for a travel cot or standard cot which can be supplied on request. There are far reaching views over the surrounding Devon countryside from the master bedroom. The second bedroom is equipped with two full size single divan beds, chest of drawers and wardrobe.

Facilities and services:
Bed linen and towels included. Electric heating and logs for wood burner included. Space for a cot for additional infant in the double bedroom - please request when booking if required. Highchair and Stair Gate also available on request.

Amenities:
There is a mini market at the local garage at Wilmington stocking fresh milk and bread and a basic range of groceries. Also in Wilmington, there is a small farm shop and a thatched pub serving a range of local beers and good local food.

The market town of Honiton (4 miles) has a good range of local shops and a twice weekly street market. Similarly Axminster (7 miles), has a weekly market and boasts the Riverside Cottage shop. Colyton is a smaller town, with interesting little shops, including the award winning Colyton Butchers.

The entire area is rich with excellent country pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. We will be pleased to provide you with our recommendations.

The Roman city of Exeter with its beautiful cathedral and green, and Taunton, the county town of Somerset, are both approximately 18 miles distant. For shoppers, either of these offers a full range of High Street chain stores and individual shops.

Daisy cottage is well situated for walkers with an excellent network of paths and tracks through the beautiful Devon countryside, many of which can be started from your own front door. The East Devon Way passes within a mile of the cottage, and the spectacular South West Coastal path is nearby.

Peace & Quite

Definitely rural and down lots of narrow rough lanes but that is the challenge in parts of Devon. Really good detailed direction from host but if you prefer SatNav just type “Slade Dairy Cottages”. Although a rural setting it is very close to everything including a Tesco supermarket. This was just the peaceful, quiet break we needed

Lovely cosy cottage

Lovely cosy cottage. Enjoyed our long weekend very much. Cottage has everything you need and there was a lovely welcome pack of biscuits and fudge on arrival plus milk, tea bags and coffee. Quiet area and as expected, narrow lanes in and out so expect lots of reversing to let vehicles passed. Played 2 golf courses during our visit - Honiton & Axe Cliff, also visited The Donkey Sanctuary which is an amazing place and well worth a visit. If you’re not in a hurry to get anywhere, Daisy Cottage is an ideal place to stay.

Lovely stay

We had a great time at Daisy Cottage. There has clearly been a lot of thought put in to the facilities, e.g. there was washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing tablets, tea, coffee and milk left for our use. The play area was a hit with the three year old in our group. The location is great with a Tesco's a 10 minute drive away in Honiton and the coast not that far away either. Thank you for ensuring we had such a lovely stay.

Absolutely Wonderful.

Daisy Cottage was an absolute winner. In a perfect location with nothing but fields around. Inside was beautiful, with a log fire, for cooler evenings and underfloor heating in the bathroom which was an extra special touch. I would recommend Daisy cottage to anyone. You do need to be a driver. Or, at least, have one driver in your party.

Beautiful cottage and setting

We had a three night stay in Daisy Cottage and found everything to be perfect for our needs. It's very warm and cosy inside and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Perfect for local walks or exploring the Jurassic coast. Tony was very friendly and communication prior and during our stay was excellent. Highly recommend.

Beautiful location. Lovely cottage.

Deep in the Devon countryside yet within easy reach of local villages and town (and only a short drive to the Donkey Sanctuary) this is a well appointed property with all you need for a great holiday. The owners are friendly and welcoming - even the resident pheasant is friendly! All in all a wonderful late Spring holiday. We will certainly want to return.

A place to relax

Daisy Cottage is a clean, well kitted out, comfortable place to stay. The one downside for us were the spiral stairs we needed to go down to the bathroom in the night which we don't think was obvious in the information. We left a light on downstairs which helped.
