The property
Trill Cottage is one of five charming Grade II listed stone-built cottages at Little Trill, set within over three acres of magnificent gardens in the peaceful hamlet of Trill. This tranquil rural location, on the outskirts of Musbury, offers a safe and scenic environment for children to play and explore, while adults can relax and soak in the stunning views of the Devon countryside.
Inside, the cottage is traditionally furnished and full of period features, including exposed beams, flagstone floors, and a striking inglenook fireplace with a woodburner that forms the heart of the cosy lounge and dining area. The ground floor also includes a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast table, perfect for relaxed mornings, and a convenient wet room with a shower, WC, and basin. Entry to the cottage is via five steps down to the front door, adding to its quaint, tucked-away feel.
Upstairs, the cottage comfortably sleeps six guests across three bedrooms: one with a double bed, and two with twin beds making it ideal for families or groups of friends. A family bathroom on this floor features a bath with shower over, WC, and basin.

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.
