The property
Honeysuckle Cottage is one of five Grade II listed stone cottages set within the peaceful grounds of Little Trill, located near the village of Musbury in East Devon. Surrounded by more than three acres of beautifully maintained communal gardens, this charming property offers a safe and scenic retreat for families or small groups. Children can explore freely while adults enjoy the tranquillity and picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.
A gravelled courtyard parking area leads to the front of the cottage, where a small terrace with outdoor seating overlooks the impressive shared grounds. Inside, the open-plan living space retains much of the cottage’s original character, with exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, and a cosy sitting area. The farmhouse-style kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to complement the historic charm of the property and includes everything needed to prepare meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table beside a traditional window seat.
Upstairs, the cottage comfortably accommodates four guests across two bedrooms. The double room features sloping ceilings and countryside views, while the twin room is ideal for children. A tiled bathroom with a bath, shower attachment, WC, and basin provides a relaxing space to refresh after a day of exploring.
Guests can make the most of the extensive shared grounds, which include well-kept lawns, colourful planting, and peaceful seating areas. These outdoor spaces are perfect for enjoying the sunshine or dining al fresco. A welcome pack is provided on arrival, including milk, tea, and a selection of locally sourced treats to help you settle in and begin your holiday with ease.
Honeysuckle Cottage is located on the edge of Musbury, a picturesque village with a shop and a friendly pub. The area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is popular with walkers and nature lovers. From the doorstep, guests can enjoy scenic walks along the South West Coastal Path and take in the dramatic views of the Jurassic Coastline. Nearby hill forts such as Musbury Castle and Lamberts Castle offer panoramic vistas and a glimpse into the region’s rich history.
Little Trill is ideally positioned between Axminster and Seaton, with the popular seaside town of Lyme Regis just five miles away. Visitors can explore the iconic Cobb Harbour, browse independent shops and galleries, or visit attractions such as the Lyme Regis Aquarium, Marine Theatre, and town museum. Seaton also offers a mile-long beach, a Wetlands Centre, and a scenic tramway ride along the River Axe.
For family-friendly outings, the picturesque fishing village of Beer, the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, and the Axe Valley Animal Park, which is home to a variety of animals from around the world, are all within easy reach.
Whether you are drawn to coastal walks, bird watching, fossil hunting, or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings, Honeysuckle Cottage at Little Trill provides a welcoming and well-positioned base for discovering the beauty of East Devon.

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.
