Situated in the picturesque village of Lympstone, Devon, this charming self-catering country cottage offers a delightful retreat for families or small groups, accommodating up to five guests across three beautifully decorated bedrooms. Nestled near the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottage is just a short walk from the scenic harbour and the newly established cycle paths leading to Exmouth and Topsham. The local amenities include four welcoming pub-restaurants, a post office, and a well-stocked village shop, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay.
The cottage's location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with the Exe Estuary cycle path running through the village and 18 footpaths that provide stunning coastal and countryside walks. For those who prefer public transport, the village train station offers regular services to Exmouth and Exeter, complemented by a nearby bus service, making a car unnecessary. Exmouth, known for its expansive sandy beach and the famous Jurassic Coast path, is conveniently located just minutes away by car or a scenic 30-minute stroll along the coast.
Recently refurbished to highlight its original features, the cottage boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ground floor includes a cozy sitting room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, a window seat perfect for reading, and a kitchen diner equipped with all essential amenities, including a dishwasher and washing machine. The first floor features a family bathroom and three well-appointed bedrooms, ensuring ample space for relaxation and comfort. The design maintains the cottage's historical charm while providing modern conveniences.
Outside, guests can enjoy a low-maintenance terraced patio garden, complete with a paved area for al fresco dining and atmospheric lighting for evening enjoyment. Well-behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, adding to the cottage's family-friendly appeal. However, the property features steep stairs and rockery access, which may not suit those with limited mobility. In addition to local attractions, such as the Exmouth & Orcombe Point Walk and Topsham Museum, opportunities for windsurfing, sailing, hiking, and cycling abound, making this cottage an ideal base for a memorable holiday in South West England.
