We think that this charming cottage looks like something out of a fairytale. Nestled on a quiet lane in the pretty village of Branscombe, it's a dreamy place to spend a few days alone or with your favorite person. You'll fall in love as soon as you arrive and gaze up at the thatched roof and painted stone walls. The interior is cosy and welcoming, with fabulous views of the rolling countryside from the windows. During the colder months, you can throw a log on the fire and get cosy on the sofa with a glass of wine and a good book. And, when the sun is shining, head out to the patio to enjoy your supper alfresco as you breathe in the fresh, clean air. From here, you can amble down to Branscombe Beach, or take the car to arrive on the sandy shoreline in no time at all. There are plenty of other coves to discover, including the famous Beer Beach and Sidmouth Beach. And, keen walkers will be in heaven, as the South West Coastal Path is close by, ready to lead you through these stunning landscapes.
