We are on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Blackdown Hills, a few minutes drive from the beautiful village of Dalwood, which has the Tuckers Arms pub.
We are close to Exeter Airport (25 mins drive), Axminster Station (10 mins drive, train to London 2.5 hours), 1.5 hours from Bath and Bristol, and 2 hours from the Cotswolds and the Midlands. We’re conveniently located between the A303 and A35 and 15 minutes drive from Lyme Regis and the Devon Jurassic Coast. This stretches from Exmouth in Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset and is a World Heritage Site populated with incredible fossils and gorgeous beaches. The famous River Cottage is around 10 minutes drive and the Pig-At-Combe is 20 minutes away.

Staying in the Jurassic Coast
You’re in the heart of the Jurassic Coast so go fossil hunting at Monmouth and Charmouth. Check out the Lyme Regis museum for more on fossils and our local heroine Mary Anning, whose new statue sits near the Clock Tower just by the beach.
Lyme Regis has a stunning sandy beach and you can hire paddle boards and kayaks or try the Shoreline Sauna. We also love the beaches at Burton Bradstock, West Bay, Seaton Hole, Cogden and Charmouth.
For child-friendly places to visit, we recommend Wildwood Escot with red squirrels, wolves, ridiculous death-defying slide, and Saxon Village, Crealy adventure park and Axe Valley Wildlife Park.
For walks, we are absolutely spoiled with the South West Coast path all around us. There are 2 gentle 30 minute walks from Seaton to Beer and Beer to Branscombe, or Stonebarrow Hill for the Golden Cap (park in the national trust car park at Langdon Hill just past Felicity’s Farm Shop) where you have amazing views along the Jurassic coast after a 45 minute walk. Trinity Hill near River Cottage is great for dog walks, as is Lamberts Castle.
