Fabulous Branscombe Escape

This property is a real romantic getaway, a truly picture postcard cottage recently re-thatched and decorated inside and out. For the summer it has a pretty small garden to sit in and on the colder evenings you can snuggle up in front of the log burner. Everything is new, the bedroom is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. It is close to the Fountain Head Inn. Wonderful walks to the sea where there is the Sea Shanty restaurant which serves good food. An ideal place for dog owners as there are many miles of walks to be had.

Location: Otter's Corner is in Branscombe, a lovely village on Devon's south coast where thatched cottages frame the valley and lead down to the sea. The cottage is situated on a picturesque walking route (one of many close by) and is moments from the characterful Fountain Head Inn.

Accommodation: Outside the cottage is a handy space for cleaning off your wellies (and dog!) As you enter the cottage through the front stable door, there is plenty of handy storage and hanging space as well as a well-equipped utility room with toilet facilities.

The beautifully-decorated open plan dining and sitting room, complete with a window seat overlooking the lane, has a brand-new shaker-style kitchen with all you need for a relaxed or romantic supper. A welcoming log burner is tucked into a fireplace, with a two-seater sofa and armchair in which to cosy-up on during those chilly winter evenings. From the kitchen is a softly-carpeted open tread stairway leading to the first floor. To one side of the landing is a luxuriously-appointed shower room with large shower and fluffy white towels. Opposite is a light and pretty bedroom with painted beams and sloping ceilings in keeping the cottage's original features. There is a king-size bed with white cotton bed linen, dressing table, hanging space and chest of drawers. Finally, as dogs are very much welcome, he or she can curl up on the blankets provided, and dog bowls are ready and waiting.

Outside: Opposite Otter's Corner there is a private courtyard-style garden with table, chairs, parasol and sun lounger, ideal for al fresco dining, along with a dedicated (and much coveted!) parking space.

Facilities: Wash-dryer, sink, small freezer, ironing board, TV, electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, larder, fridge, microwave, toaster, heated towel racks, hair dryer. Wifi and USB charging points. Bed linen and towels. Dog bowls and blankets provided. Parking for one car. Friday to Friday changeover.
