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.
Looking along the length of the wide hallway with the kitchen off to the left and the sitting/dining-room straight ahead.
This is the second double bedroom. Very spacious with plenty of fitted wardrobe space and an en suite bathroom.
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.
There is a wonderful wood-burning stove for out-of-season breaks - this is the most welcoming of cottages whatever the time of year.

Oh so pretty, bedroom 2.
The en suite bathroom is bright and cheerful.
This bathroom has so much space.
This is the creatively decorated cloakroom.
The quality inside this property is exceptional.
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.
Another view of the stunningly planted gardens for The Coach House. Stone steps lead from one level to another - a delight to explore.
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.
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.
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.

The Coach House is a wonderfully appointed cottage in a superb location. We can’t praise the property highly enough and have stayed at The Coach House for the last two years and look forward to returning next year. It is ideally situated for exploring Devon, Somerset and Dorset with the coast not far away. Our favourite beach is Beer beach where you can hire deckchairs and a parasols and spend a relaxing day by the sea....

Excellent place to stay for peace and quiet and access to the coast.

We were very happy with our stay at The Coach House. The grounds we overlooked were spectacular and even though we had a wooded area above where we were staying it was not that easy to access it. Having said that, both my friend and I are in our 70s and a rail to hold on to over on the nearest side to the house would have been appreciated. We did have a lovely sun trap terrace though and perhaps if it was the height of summer a parasol or awning to give some shade would be a good addition. These are minor niggles though - the property itself is beautiful, all the furnishings are of an excellent standard, the beds and linen as good as the finest hotel. We were very impressed and would recommend this beautiful property wholeheartedly. ...

We had a lovely stay at this cottage - everything you could need is provided. The property is in a secluded area (accessed by a single track road) in lovely grounds next to the main house. Axminster is a lovely little town and we had good evening meals at the George pub/restaurant and the Italian. We would recommend this as a lovely cottage that’s in easy reach of local attractions....

Very good location within easy driving distance of places to visit. Ideal for a dog. Property definitely spacious enough for 4 adults. Private although next door to the owners.
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed in this cottage, with the few exceptions stated in our Review Guidelines.
