    “Martiine and Russ were very welcoming hosts and Brookhaven was a lovely, clean and cosy cottage for two plus our cat (who was made particularly welcome!”

    ). Musbury is a perfect location to explore the beautiful Devon and Dorset scenery. Lots of walks possible straight from the cottage, we walked to the delightful Seaton Tramway which we took from nearby Colyton into Seaton itself. Also a walk up to the Musbury Hill Fort gives 360 views of the valleys and coast. Recommend a visit to The Hind pub, which had delicious home cooked food and a good selection of drinks.

The cottage itself had everything we needed for our stay and the spar shop in the petrol station down the road was well stocked with local produce and general groceries with Axminster very close for a bigger shop, or Millers farm shop for the truly local experience. All in all couldn’t fault our stay and would 100% recommend and can’t wait to come back again as there is still so much to explore.

About the location

MUSBURY

Axminster 3 miles; Seaton 4 miles; Lyme Regis 5 miles.

Musbury is a small village in East Devon lying between the towns of Axminster and Seaton with much of the surrounding unspoilt countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and the centre of the village is a designated Conservation Area. There are plenty of spectacular walks in the surrounding landscape of wooded combes, vast areas of heathland, fertile river valleys and breathtaking cliffs or hilltops. The area is rich in wildlife with local nature reserves providing sanctuaries for birdlife including ospreys around the Axe estuary. From Musbury Castle, a hill fort above the village, there are spectacular views of the Axe Valley. Musbury is three miles from picturesque Seaton Bay with its mile long shingle beach on the Jurassic Coastline, a natural World Heritage Site. The attractive fishing port of Beer is also close-by as is the historic town of Axminster, with medieval minster church by the beautiful river Axe, weekly market, a museum containing antique Axminster carpets and ‘River Cottage’ produce shop and café.
