The property
Rose Cottage is one of five sympathetically restored Grade II listed stone cottages nestled within the peaceful grounds of Little Trill, a rural hamlet just outside the village of Musbury in East Devon. Surrounded by over three acres of lovingly maintained gardens, this delightful cottage offers a safe and scenic setting for children to explore and play, while adults can unwind and enjoy the calm and beauty of the surrounding countryside.
The cottage features a private patio area with outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening meal while overlooking the shared gardens. Inside, Rose Cottage is full of character and warmth. The open-plan living space includes a generous seating area with exposed stonework and wooden beams, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. French doors open out to the gardens, allowing natural light to fill the elegant dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals for the whole family, combining rustic charm with modern convenience.
Upstairs, guests will find two comfortable bedrooms. The double room features sloping ceilings and countryside views, while the twin room is ideal for children or additional guests. Both rooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional style that complements the cottage’s heritage. A family bathroom with a bath, shower attachment, toilet and basin provides a relaxing space to refresh after a day of exploring.
Guests staying at Rose Cottage have access to the extensive shared grounds, which include large lawns, colourful planting and peaceful seating areas. These outdoor spaces are ideal for dining al fresco, reading in the sun or simply enjoying the fresh Devon air. 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.
Little Trill is located just outside 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. 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 views and a glimpse into the region’s rich history.
The location is ideal for a traditional seaside holiday, with the charming coastal town of Lyme Regis just five miles away. Visitors can stroll along the iconic Cobb Harbour, enjoy fish and chips by the sea, browse independent shops and galleries, or visit attractions such as the Lyme Regis Aquarium, Marine Theatre and town museum. Seaton is also nearby and offers a mile-long beach, a Wetlands Centre and a scenic tramway ride along the River Axe.
For family-friendly outings, the 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 looking for coastal walks, bird watching, fossil hunting or simply a relaxing countryside and seaside escape, Rose Cottage at Little Trill provides a welcoming and well-positioned base for discovering the natural beauty and timeless charm 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.
