Located in the charming seaside town of Exmouth, Devon, this newly refurbished listed cottage offers a delightful retreat for up to five guests. Forming part of a historic school, the cottage features three bedrooms, including a king-size room, a single room, and a twin room that can be converted into a super king upon request. The property boasts its own garden, a bike storage area, and convenient on-road parking right outside, making it an ideal base for exploring the nearby East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The interior of the cottage has been thoughtfully updated to a high standard, complete with a modern bathroom and kitchen. Guests can enjoy a cozy living space furnished with two comfortable sofas, a television, and a games cupboard for entertainment. Each bedroom is outfitted with luxurious down and feather duvets and 400 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. However, it’s important to note that the cottage features a steeper staircase and low headroom in certain areas, reflecting its historical character.
Guests will appreciate the private entrance to the cottage and the garden, along with access to a brick-built store for securely storing bikes and drying wet weather gear. The hosts, who reside next door, are readily available to provide local insights, recommend restaurants, and suggest activities to enhance the stay. Exmouth serves as an excellent hub for exploring the wider Devon area, with notable attractions such as Michael Caine's Michelin-starred restaurant, Bicton Park for equestrian events, and established cycling routes around the River Exe.
For those seeking outdoor adventures, Stuart Line Cruises offers year-round boat trips from Exmouth, perfect for bird watching and sightseeing. The cottage is suitable for children aged 2-12, but not for infants or pets, and guests are kindly asked to refrain from hosting parties or events. Smoking is prohibited both inside the house and on the grounds due to insurance restrictions related to the adjacent thatched roof property. Check-in is available after 3 PM, with check-out required by 11 AM, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
