    “We had a great stay at this wonderful property.”

    It is a spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped house, with fabulous views. The grounds were great fun to explore and our children, ages 9-16, spent lots of time outside, particularly enjoying playing on the rowing boat on the pond. The owner was very helpful and made sure we had all we needed. This is a great location for walking into Honiton too - only 15mins walk to a really interesting and varied high street, with lots of independent shops and cafes. We ate at 'Toast', which ...

The owner was very helpful and made sure we had all we needed. This is a great location for walking into Honiton too - only 15mins walk to a really interesting and varied high street, with lots of independent shops and cafes. We ate at 'Toast', which was delicious and catered well for our gluten free family members (plus there is a fully gluten free bakery on the high street - Tilleys, which is well worth a visit).

About the location

HONITON

Ottery St Mary 5.6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.2 miles; Exeter 16.7 miles.

Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.

Note: Visits to the owner's private small holding can be arranged with the owner prior to your stay.
