The Cider House

The garden is open , couldn't leave dog to run freely.

Cottage was lovely and met the owners, very pleasant and welcoming. I wouldn't go again, because of the long very narrow country lanes to get to the cottage. Well worth it, if you don't mind.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cider House, a cosy, peaceful farm cottage in a scenic location, just outside the small village of Dalwood near Axminster.

Accessing the property by car is, as to be expected, via a series of narrow lanes, but we found these to be quiet most of the time, not having to reverse often, and there are regular passing places. The property itself is well equipped and nicely furnished. That said there is limited space for clothing in the bedrooms, so pack lightly unless you don’t mind living out of a suitcase. The upstairs bed has a soft mattress and the ground floor beds are firm (and a bit short for anyone around 6ft). Our young son loved sleeping in the roof area, and we were grateful for the electric fan up there at bedtime. The spacious garden area is lovely and thanks to the fine weather, we enjoyed sitting and playing out in it most days. Note that, as well the stream, there is a public footpath that passes through the garden and around the back of the property, so you will see people and dogs passing through at any time of day.

The Cider house is an absolute joy!

It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is in a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend it!

Such a lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

We had a wonderful weekend here. It was well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. They even had garden games which were a lovely surprise. The garden is beautiful. Would 100% recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat. Many thanks.

Our family had the most amazing stay over Christmas.

The Cider House was perfect for us and we particularly enjoyed the Mulled Wine on the beach at Lyme Regis on Christmas Day! Will definitely return again in the future, a big thanks to our hosts for the lovely touch with the tree and decorations. Very thoughtful and a lovely way to arrive.

Lovely stay, fab location for dog walks.

Great property very well maintained. Local pub very good. Would definitely recommend Cider House.

We had a wonderful stay - beautiful tranquil setting with comfortable bed & furniture.

Nice facilities throughout and it felt like a lot of effort had gone into the presentation of the cottage. Only a short drive to the beaches & towns too which we loved. It was the perfect place for us & our dog to stay.

Wow facture, a little goldmine.

I would have loved a woodburner just to finish it off. Lovely location. Nice and quiet. Beds were lovely.

We had a lovely stay ,the accommodation is in a very nice peaceful spot .

We had everything needed facilities wise and there is lots to do in the area , particularly enjoyed our morning walks along the brook to the village and back . Can highly recommend the pub in the village .

Beautiful location, plenty of areas to walk the dog.

Cottage was great for us as a base and had everything we needed for a short break.

A beautiful cottage set in a lovely Devon village.

A great place to relax and an excellent location for walkers, and it's dog friendly too!

Delightful owner, Mick and his family, a lovely setting in a valley and accommodation, lots to do in the area and coast nearby.

Enjoyed our vineyard tour with Mick and pub meals in the village.

A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings

We love this cottage.

Its our second time staying here, the first time was June just gone. So peaceful, the location is perfect. Very clean. The owners and family linked with the cottage are extremely helpful and welcoming, nothing is too much for them. We've already booked to return next year and we're hoping to visit twice if we can. My daughter loves it here which is an added bonus. Fully recommend this cottage.

Lovely cottage, lovely people.

Very rural and quiet. Would definitely recommend

We had a fantastic week at The Cider house.

The cottage and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Our children and dog had plenty of space to play and loved the garden. Great location for trips to Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Seaton. Would definitely recommend

Lovely cottage.

Lovely location.

We enjoyed the cottage very much.

The gardens were lovely and well kept. An additional part of the garden was shaded with a stream nearby a perfect spot to sit on a hot day. The views all around were lovely. The host made us very welcome

We thought we had cleared everything but on returning home realised we had left something in the washing machine.

We contacted the owners and they very kindly laundered our items and sent them on which we received within a few days. We are truly grateful. It's been our second visit and we absolutely love it. It's the most beautiful and tranquil spot and within easy reach of much loved destinations.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and in a very pretty, peaceful location.

The owners were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lovely week visiting places in East Devon and managed a trip to Longleat Safari Park. Our daughter and granddaughter joined us midweek and enjoyed it so much that before we left for home our daughter booked for them to go there again in August. Thank you for everything.

Lovely property, we both enjoyed our stay, very quiet, tidy gardens, clean rooms and everything we needed to hand.

A pint of milk and a bottle of Dalwood wine awaited us in the fridge and plenty of tea and coffee. The only suggestion we would make is that the directions to find the property could be altered to come through the village of Dalwood, rather than the property post code as it takes you down very long , rough, potholed lanes , but once we found the other way in, it was much better. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Cider House.

The setting of the house is beautiful as is the accommodation. Such a lovely place to stay. Everything you need and the bed was so comfortable. The place was spotless. Just sitting listerning to the birds and the river was so relaxing.Easy walking distance to a great pub. Lots of places to visit. Thank you again for a lovely stay. Molly our dog love it too.

The whole experience was a pleasure.

The interior and exterior of the property was spot on. There was everything you could need. It was so peaceful and the dog was safe in the garden as no traffic passes by. It is ideally located for many nearby resorts. I would definately recommend it and hope to go back myself.

This was a charming property in a beautiful setting.

We had everything we needed and more. The outside gardens were well maintained and a lovely place to sit. The only sounds being the horses in the next field, the stream and the birds. It was very restful which is what we needed. Our son has profound learning difficulties and can struggle in new places. He was very settled here and happy. We would definitely recommend this place,

We had a lovely week at The Cider House in Dalwood.

Great place to stay along with our dog, lots of outdoor space and beautifully kept grounds, wonderful riverside setting with horses and woodpeckers and 10-15 mins walk along quiet lanes to The Tuckers Arms, an excellent village pub.

Excellent property and location.

Perfect

Beautiful and tranquil.

Accommodation was as described. Booking was straight forward and smooth. Highly recommended

We loved out stay at The Cider House.

Lovely welcoming cottage set in beautiful surroundings. The cottage had everything we needed, comfortable lounge and bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, amazing garden. Short drive to beautiful coastal and cliff walks and can also walk from the cottage to The Tuckers Arms. Everything was so inviting we will be back! Thankyou!

Very comfortable and cute barn conversion set in lovely grounds, we loved it.

Nice little cottage in lovely grounds, it has everything thing you would need.

The only downside would be for drivers of larger vehicles, who will need to be wary of some of the nearby roads, which can be a bit narrow in places, but don't let it put you off.

peaceful & comfortable.

..we all loved it and hope to come back.

Very delightful, comfortable, well kept, cosy accommodation with all requirements met in beautiful garden and countryside surroundings.

The narrow lanes to access the property require some reversing at times.

The property is located in a very rural spot in the Devon Countryside and is approached by very, very narrow country lanes.

Driving to and from the property is not for the feint hearted. It is an excellent spot for walking in the surrounding countryside and provides a very tranquil area in which to relax. A very good local pub is accessible along an enjoyable walk along a local stream. Although the property has two bedrooms, the living area is small, and the property only has one toilet. Sadly, the WiFi buffers when watching Netflix. Overall a very nice property in which to stay.

A unique location, especially with the dog.

Lovely area to walk around. There is a good pub at walking distance and a community shop.

A wonderful well equipped, comfortable holiday cottage, beautiful, peaceful setting.

A little bit of paradise perfect for relaxing and recharging. An absolute pleasure to have stayed.

Lovely cottage and location, we have a very relaxing mini break.

Local pub is great very friendly and welcoming and excellent food. Cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Lack of a welcome pack a little disappointing, no fresh milk or bread. Would be useful if some washing up liquid was provided too. Please note the radiators in the Kitchen & Bathroom get super hot and would be dangerous for young children, I actually burnt myself after showering on the bathroom radiator so we had to cover it with towel to avoid doing it again!

Lovely warm cottage with lovely walks on the doorstep

A gem of a place.

Thoughtfully equipped throughout. Cosy and warm ... even though it was (mostly) a cold, windy March outside. Very peaceful. Streamside walks straight from the door. Dalwood is ten minutes away that way ... where the Tuckers Arms is a delight. The food there is exceptional quality and value. Jurassic Coast is twenty minutes away by car. Would recommend.

A gem of a place!

Gorgeous self contained cottage. Ample room for 2 kids and 2 dogs.

Turn off the A35 onto Loughwood Road towards Dalwood Village and you instantly travel back 50, 60, 70 years to an age when parents taught their children good manners and people had time for each other.

The narrow lanes seem to regulate the pace of life. No boy racers here! The Cider House is set in peaceful countryside behind a once working farm and what hits you immediately is the silence. Once darkness falls a glance up to the night sky takes your breath away. The house has a pleasant atmosphere and is comfortable but take sundries such as salt and pepper with you. The village boasts a Community Shop which is rather expensive but has some little gems, such as delicious dry cured bacon. The nearest supermarket is 5 miles away in Axminster. The village pub, The Tuckers Arms, is warm and welcoming and serves good food but be sure to book a table. Nearby Lyme Regis (9 miles) is good for seafood but don’t expect too much from Honiton Market (it may be better in season, but our visit on an October Tuesday had three stalls). It’s hard to see how anyone can fail to enjoy their stay at the Cider House. We had a super time.

Cottage was lovely ,but roads to it were horrendous.

We were very pleased with the cottage, and plenty of space for dogs.We think there should be some indication of the state of the roads, in description. It spoiled holiday to some extent, because we were not inclined to use the roads again in the evenings, as we normally do to go out for a meal, so therefore we had to eat in the day, or buy food to cook in cottage.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful and remote location.

Unfortunately the cottage was not as clean as we expected, and the furniture shown in the profile pictures was not in the cottage. The bed was also uncomfortable. On the plus side the gardens and surroundings are great for exploring and unwinding.

We had a lovely time, thank you.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful surroundings.

Well equipped .Very friendly owner. Road too it a little difficult due to potholes. Pleasant walk to the village. Tucker's arms excellent food. Electric pylon close but not disabled from the property. Would definitely recommend Cider barn and go again.

Beautiful location and lovely comfortable cottage.

A hot tub would finish it off perfectly. Would definitely come again. A couple of suggestions to maybe consider would be having a dog shower or outside tap to wash down dogs when they get muddy or roll in cow dung and a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs to prevent small children and dogs going upstairs. Ps don’t swap the washing machine for a dishwasher would prefer to wash dishes than hand wash muddy clothes :) Thank you for renting out your beautiful cottage

Enjoyable stay in a lovely cottage, with a delightful garden, in a quiet location.

We had wonderful break at The Cider House, situated in the stunning village of Dalwood.

We were 3x adults and 1x teenager plus our small dog. Although the cottage looks small on the outside, it actually felt very spacious with good sized bedrooms, vaulted ceiling and beautiful garden area. The cottage and grounds absolutely met all our needs and creature comforts. You can access the village by a short walk along the river and walking the country lanes is equally pleasant as hardly any road traffic. Waking up to the sound of birdsong and the babbling stream was the tranquil break we needed. Thank you so much!

Lovely cottage in a most friendly village

Really lovley place to stay.

Cottage was well equipped and comfy. Very dog friendly. Dalwood village is lovely and The Tuckers Arms is highly recommended

The Cider House was a beautiful place to stay.

It was warm and comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was clean and well equipped and maintained. We hope to go back, it was in such a beautiful setting. Great for walks with our dog too.

We had a very restful time - just what we needed.

Thank you .

Second time staying at The Cider House.

Lovely location, so peaceful, beautiful views. Had everything we needed. The perfect holiday cottage

Lovely barn in stunning setting.

Quite off the beaten track but ideal for exploring inland or the Jurassic coastline which is just a short drive away. The barn is well equipped, but would benefit from a dressing table and mirror in each bedroom, just a very minor tweak to an otherwise perfect holiday let. I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

An amazing property and we had a very comfortable and restful visit.

Thank you

Great stay and lovely location.

Beautifully peaceful location Wonderfully comfortable beds with gorgeous-smelling bed linen!

Everything you could possibly need - and thank you for the prompt response when we needed advice

We wish we could have stayed longer - the Cider House is such a gorgeous place.

The garden is a particular bonus and the BBQ too. We had everything we needed (and some things we didn't strictly NEED but did appreciate, like the Smart TV and Scrabble!). Anyone unfamiliar with Devon needs to be prepared for the narrow lanes in the surrounding area and if you can, do visit the Dalwood village shop!

Fantastic place.

So peaceful, lovely outside space. Loved it. Will be back!

Comfortable and well-equipped cottage in attractive grounds - especially liked the BBQ!

Lovely countryside walks in surrounding area and handy for the coast.

Everything was lovely ,beautiful cottage and setting, would have liked a welly and walking boots tray just inside front door to save the floor getting muddy and wet , definitely we will be back .

Really nice property and surroundings.

Easy to get to many of the coastal towns and cities nearby. Property is comfortable and equipped. Will stay again when in the area.
