On the outskirts of Axminster, you will discover this characterful barn conversion, a modern retreat only a short distance from the Jurassic Coast. Nestled in the beautiful English countryside on a working farm, this cottage promises a relaxing stay for couples or travellers. The stable doors lead through to an open-plan dining area, with a table for six people and a comfortable sofa where you can rest and wait for those appetising meals to cook. Traditional exposed beams overlook the room, and low lighting adds a quality effect. The contemporary kitchen lies in the corner of the layout, styled with a light grey overtone. Two fabulous bedrooms make up the cottage; a bedroom is located on the ground floor with 3 single beds, whilst the king-size rests upstairs, both are elevated by en-suite shower rooms and more charming exposed beams. The lounge is a beautiful place to unwind, designed with sumptuous sofas, a vaulted ceiling and art prints on the wall. Magnificent countryside views are showcased from the windows, and you can stroll out onto the balcony, to be at one with it all. With the addition of a sofa bed, wake up to the views each day that goes by. Lastly, the family bathroom is immaculately presented, well-appointed with a suite matching that of a hotel standard. Only a short drive away, you will have a selection of beaches to choose from; Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Seatown, Branscombe, Seaton and Beer all make for memorable days out. Finding fossils, swimming, building sand castles, fishing, coastal path walking and much more is on offer here. This location is perfect for walkers, bringing you the best of the Blackdown Hills.
