If you were looking for cottages like Willow Cottage, how about trying these:

Set in unspoilt countryside a short distance from Honiton, known for its antiques shops, pottery and street markets, this cottage is named after the tree standing in the pretty, enclosed courtyard garden, perfect for children. Sidmouth and Exmouth both offer marvellous beaches for children – a short drive away, as is the Crealy Adventure Park. Or try your hand at fossil hunting at nearby Lyme Regis. The mid-county location of the cottage also means trips to Exeter, Exmoor and Dartmoor are within easy reach. Originally the coach house for the medieval, thatched farmhouse (which dates back to the Domesday Book), the cottage has many exposed beams. The sitting-room is warmly decorated, with a wood-burner effect gas stove and comfortable upholstery. The kitchen/diner is particularly spacious, with a pine table and matching cupboards. An open-tread spiral staircase (please take care with toddlers) leads to the first floor, where both bedrooms overlook the garden. The Owners have four alpacas in the field across the lane – sure to delight younger children – and offer guests use of their utility-room (washing machine) if required.
