Bradfield Cottages

Accommodates 8 + 2 cots in 2 properties | 8.9 miles NW of Honiton

 
The large lake and extensive grounds are very attractive, especially in the spring.

Once part of the Bradfield Estate, Oak Cottage and Arch Cottage, two of a terrace of three, started life as servants’ quarters and dog kennels. Now very stylish and comfortable single-storey cottages, awarded a VisitBritain Quality Assurance Standard rating of four stars, each has a sunny terrace and their own walled garden below. The Owners, who live next door to the cottages, have transformed eighteen acres of wilderness into wonderful grounds with woods, streams and a stunning two acre lake (see photograph) – please take care with children around the lake and streams. Home to plenty of wild waterfowl and stocked with carp, rudd and tench, the lake is an angler’s paradise. There are several large fish lurking in the reeds, so why not try your hand with a rod and line? The Owners also keep poultry and there are some striking living willow sculptures. This is a little piece of heaven with lovely walks and tranquil spots to sit and relax but, if you can tear yourselves away, the coast at Exmouth is a half-hour drive and Honiton, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth are within easy reach. With under-floor heating throughout, these cottages are warm and welcoming whatever the season.

Arch Cottage next door is approached from the front, stepping up from the footpath around the side of the cottages and in through French doors. Again the furnishings and colour schemes are soft and simple, but with touches of colour from prints, pictures and the odd brightly coloured cushion or bed cover. Like its neighbour, this cottage is ideal for a small family or friends wishing to stay somewhere contemporary, yet still enjoy a restful get-away-from-it-all holiday. Please note that the changeover times are 4pm on arrival and 10am on departure.
