“We were very happy with our holiday cottage.”

We found it comfortable and it was in a good position for visiting the area. For the owner - just to note that there was no tin opener in the Peach House and also we were not able to use the retractable washing line as it wouldn't go in or out.

“Apart from our car breaking down, we had a restful break in this lovely little cottage and very much appreciated the chance to be hidden away in comfort.”

Other reviewers have commented on the traffic noise - it is there, but not too much of a distraction. Everything was well-prepared and organised, including a welcome card, a vase of hydrangeas from the garden and some delicious biscuits. We very much appreciated Stuart, the owner, calling in when we first arrived. This would be an ideal cottage for someone with access needs, as everything is very much to hand.

- Michael, August 2023

Thank you so very much for your positive feedback . We really are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cottage features. All the very best to you for the future . Property Owner
Derek July 2023

“We stayed at The Peach House for two weeks.”

It is well equipped and very well maintained. It is located in lovely grounds but is very close to a very busy main road and so suffers from constant traffic noise which made sitting out on the patio very difficult. The building is small with an all in one lounge/diner/ kitchen. It has a very good wet room. The bedroom is very comfortable. The bed is very large with a cashmere mattress. The biggest drawback is the very poor internet. We had to find somewhere everyday to log on to the web. The TV only has a limited Freeview reception but there is a good dvd player. It should be noted that there is no washing machine. The local area has many good locations to visit and the town of Axminster is excellent One very good plus point for dog owners is the extremely large fenced field available to exercise the dogs. We enjoyed our stay but found it rather small with a few negative points

- Derek, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback . We are glad that you enjoyed the area and property , despite being there for insurance reasons rather than a holiday . The internet is provided by a mobile 4g router , we would have been delighted to have shown you how it could be adjusted for improved service, had we known you were unhappy. We hope your home is restored soon. Property Owner

“There wasn't a shaver point in the bathroom which is really useful for shavers and electric toothbrushes.”

Little bit tired in the bathroom too, could do with a deep clean. Overall though, a handy little location, tucked away, but actually very close to be able to explore the jurassic coastline.

- Karen, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the location and exploring the coast . All the very best for the summer . Property Owner
Robert June 2023

“A very pleasant and clean property, well situated for touring Lyme Bay, West Dorset and East Devon.”

We were welcomed on arrival by the Owner of the Property who was happy to advise on places to visit and eat. Although Wi-Fi was available we found our 4G connection was far better. An ideal place to relax within close proximity of the A35.

- Robert, June 2023

Thank you so much for your review Bob . We are delighted that you found the property pleasant, relaxing and well located . It was a pleasure to have met you . All the very best for the rest of the year . Property Owner
Mark June 2023

“Great place as a base, ideal accommodations.”

Liked the fact all cleaning products were eco friendly. Nice touch with a bottle of wine and a welcome card on arrival and a visit from the owner asking if everything was ok. Only negative which didn't spoil our break and wasn't worth knocking down a point was that even though we were behind trees and fields there was a noticeable hum of traffic, but we played our music a bit louder to drown it out. Would use again and recommend to family and friends.

- Mark, June 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback , we are delighted that you would come back again and found the peach house an ideal accommodation. All the very best to you . Property Owner
Ilse April 2023

“Lovely secluded place to relax and especially excellent for dogs as there’s a paddock to walk your dogs in.”

Owners are very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend

- Ilse, April 2023

Thank you so much for your review, we are really pleased that you had a lovely time and enjoyed your break. All the best to you both, and the dogs! Property Owner
Martin March 2023

“Fabulous stay at The Peach House.”

It lives up to all expectations. Lovely quiet setting and safe parking. Loads to do all around the local area, River Cottage HQ on your doorstep & the lovely coastal town of Lyme Regis is only 15 minutes away. Generous and kind hosts. Highly recommended.

- Martin, March 2023

Thank you for feedback Martin, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay . It was lovely to meet you and we hope to welcome you back should you ever need a bolt hole on Devon . All the very best to you . Property Owner
J March 2023

“We needed a last minute break and are glad we found The Peach House.”

Everything was comfortable, warm and clean. The paddock was great for the dogs. The owners, Marina and Stuart, were very welcoming and helpful. Only spoiler was the weather, which was really terrible (pouring rain each day) – but sadly nothing could be done about that!

- J, March 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback . We look forward to welcoming you back and hope for better weather for you next time ! All the very best for the rest of the year . Property Owner
Greg February 2023

“Pet friendly little cottage, beautiful surroundings and very private with your own private driveway.”

The cottage itself was lovely and all facilities were catered for. There is a field litterrally 10 feet from the front door which can be used to walk the dog, all enclosed so the dog can't accidently escape. Picking the dog poo up, bag it and bin it keeps it clean as it's in such beautiful surroundings. Very friendly owners who live nearby come and say hello and welcome you to their property but also give you privacy. Throurolly recommend having a break here and I think we will be back.

- Greg, February 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback , we are so pleased that you both had a lovely time and look forward to welcoming you and your gorgeous dogs in the future. Property Owner

- Raymond, September 2022

Sara August 2022

“Recently we stayed at The Peach House.”

The owners were very helpful and the house is well located for some fantastic places and great coastal areas. The house is comfortable and the kitchen has a good range of equipment. Wi-Fi is available, although high users should note it is from a cable connection. For dogs, there is a lovely field to let of steam and some super places to explore. Thank you Stuart and Marina.

- Sara, August 2022

Thank you Sara, it was kind of you to find the time to leave us a review. Your tree expertise has now been put to good use and we have plan for the Ash trees which our Tree Surgeon has started to implement. All the very best to you and your Daughter. Property Owner
Annette June 2022

“We booked the property last minute and understood from the write up that we would have use of the shared gardens which looked very attractive.”

This was not the case and had an overgrown paddock which wasn't much fun to walk in. As soon as you walked in the door there was a musty smell.The property was very dated, old furniture, curtains and general decor. There wasn't even a pint of milk to welcome us! Having run a holiday let myself where I provided a bottle of wine, milk, orange juice, bread, marmalade, butter and biscuits, this was very disappointing. The bin lid didn't work, so it was a pain taking the whole lid off every time to put something in. The shower on/off button wouldn't always switch on or off and you had to use the switch outside the door nearly every time, especially to switch it off. The cupboards smelt musty so when drinking from a glass you always had a musty smell. It is so easy to provide lovely accommodation but if I was the owner I would definitely give it a revamp and provide a welcome package and make sure everything works properly. I also feel that it was overpriced for what you got. We won't be returning.

- Annette, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry we didn't get to meet you in person, we tried 3 visits to the property but missed you. The 3 acre paddock has been cut, the shower checked and the bin replaced. The marketing of this property does not offer welcome produce, that way guests can bring their preferred choice of tea, coffee etc and avoid paying for welcome gifts that are not to their taste. We wish you a lovely summer. Property Owner
