This single-storey cottage is exceptional high quality, with plenty of private parking, a terrace and extensive gardens.
The sitting/dining-room has French windows out onto a lovely terrace for al fresco dining.
The stone terrace has beautifully planted borders and French windows from the living-area, lead straight out onto it. You can see the corner of the owner's home next door - The Coach House is on a higher level and tucked behind it.
The Coach House is approached along this private road across the Axe Valley. There are footpaths along the river banks for you to enjoy with your dog.
This is the little harbour at Seaton - your closest beach. There is a delightful cafe on the quayside and a wide pebbled bay.
Also very nearby is the fishing village of Beer - well worth a visit. It is like stepping back in time, with fishing boats drawn up on the beach.
There is a wonderful wood-burning stove for out-of-season breaks - this is the most welcoming of cottages whatever the time of year.

The Coach House is embraced with beautiful flower borders and has its own beautiful gardens, set within the grounds of a country house. There are a couple of steps down to the front door and then one up.
There are beautiful gardens in a set of terraces, with seating to choose from to enjoy this most peaceful setting.

This is the river Axe. You cross the river to reach the Coach House and there are footpaths all along the banks.
A wider view of the fishing village of Beer. Seaton is to the far right of the photo - at the head of the Axe Valley - and just a few miles from The Coach House. This is an excellent stretch of the South West Coast Path.
The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is just a five mile drive away, stretching through east Devon and over the border at Lyme Regis into Dorset. Seaton, the nearest beach, is in the distance.
The quality inside this property is exceptional.
Lyme Regis, such a wonderful iconic town, is a very short drive from The Coach House. Whatever the time of year this is a great place to visit.
Sidmouth is one of the many delightful coastal towns in east Devon. This pebbled beach has plenty of sand at low tide.
This boat on the pebbled beach at Budleigh Salterton says it all. East Devon is a very unspoilt area and the countryside is as good as the coast.
Follow the Jurassic Coastline into Dorset and the scenery will continue to amaze you.

Lovely two weeks at the Coach House with wonderful weather. House was well equipped with beautifully kept grounds. The location is good for visiting nearby beaches and attractions in the area and also an easy drive for attractions in neighbouring Dorset and Somerset. The lane to the house is narrow (as mentioned in previous reviews) but we had no trouble negotiating this with our two cars. The walk from the house into Axminster along the river on a sunny morning was lovely but be aware that the return does have quite an incline to the house. We had a lovely holiday in a lovely cottage and area with amazing weather - we couldn’t ask for more

This is a beautiful property with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Sofas lovely and big as are the bedrooms. Getting to the property is easy, although it is up a single track without many passing places, so if meet another car can be a little bit of a problem. I am sure if you are lucky enough to stay at this property you will enjoy your holiday as we did.

Excellent property

Beautiful tranquil cottage in a lovely garden setting. Ideal with a small dog. The location of the cottage worked very well with several places to visit and only a short drive involved.

Beautiful quiet location. Ease of exploring Devon, Cornwall and Somerset areas. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay

We both had a relaxing break and enjoyed our stay.

Delightful hosts, wonderful peaceful ambience, cottage beautifully furnished and decorated.

The Coach House itself was warm cosy, well equipped and clean inside. Please think about changing the description of where the cottage is in relation to the owners property and the drive up to the Coach House.

A wonderful holiday cottage mainly furnished and equipped to a very high standard in a beautiful and peaceful location.

This property does not have a secure garden for a dog, and is therefore not dog friendly.

Super cottage, very spacious, ideal for two couples

The coach house was spacious comfortable and a pleasure to spend time there.

An incredibly comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings but with easy access to places of interest in East Devon.

The Coach House was everything we wanted for a relaxing break.Very peaceful ,set in beautiful gardens and lovely walks from the house down to the River Axe. It was decorated beautifully and very clean. We had a lovely welcome basket on arrival and logs provided for the fire. We would love to come back again..

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the Coach House in October. Although it was typical autumn weather, quite rainy, the cottage was a warm, spacious and comfortable place to be, with all the amenities we needed. The location, with its peace and tranquillity, and beautifully maintained gardens, was a delight, and within easy distance of the sea for our excursions and coastal walks, when the sun came out.

Lovely location, spacious ideal for 2 couples. A bit of a challenge to get to the cottage via single track road, but the view, comfort and garden were worth it

Lovely clean, cosy cottage, nicely decorated throughout. Location great for visiting both the Devon and Dorset areas. Will defiantly re visit.

stylish, cosy, well located cottage

The Coach House is a lovely comfortable, quiet cottage and very tastefully decorated with well tended gardens. A nice welcome pack was also included. The Coach House also has easy access to lots of other places like Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Charmouth. Bicton Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit.

A very restful place with easy access to Axminster and beyond. The welcome pack was much appreciated.

Liked the excellent directions to the property which were easy to follow. The welcome phone call from the Housekeeper to make sure that we had settled in ok. The prompt dealing with the issue with the washing machine. The welcome card and basket of wine and biscuits. The water and feeding bowls for our dog made her feel welcome as did the option to secure her on the pation with the lead extension. The standard of accommodation is very high and feels very 'home from home'
