    "Cottage was everything we would want, a hand rail to the cottage would be a blessing for those compromised on mobility the steps were quite steep."

    A visitors book to share places we found of interest it makes it more interesting to read. No WI- FI was a bit of a challenge. I would come back as it was a beautiful place with lovely gardens. Thank you Mrs D.

    We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Little Trill so much and thank you for your helpful feedback. Particularly about a handrail which is being installed. The internet is a challenge for us in this area of Devon but we expect to soon have a connection to all cottages which will be good news! Property Owner

    "Trill is an absolutely beautiful house set in beautiful rolling countryside."

    Beer and Lyme Regis are a few minutes away in a car and the local pub is friendly. Basics were to be found at the local garage, either a five minute drive or a highly recommended and beautiful walk away. There are a few bit that could be better but overall it was a beautiful base for a lovely holiday. Some of the furniture was broken (although usable) and the lack of usable Wi-Fi made itself felt with two teenagers in the house. The road in is pretty awful too, but take it slowly and watch out for the potholes and you’ll be fine. Don’t let this put you off though, being a bit off the beaten track puts you right in heart of the countryside. The local wildlife was a constant joy, with red deer, birds of prey and a menagerie of other species all making an appearance in the beautiful grounds. For eating out River cottage is just around the corner (if you haven’t been, go, it’s incredible) and the local pub serves good honest food too. Faultless? No but the positives of Trill far outweigh any of it’s faults. Highly recommend!

    "Little Trill cottage is set in a peaceful countryside location yet only a 20 minute drive from Lyme Regis and Charmouth beach."

    The nearest town of Axminster is a few miles and has a major supermarket, pubs, restaurants and take-aways. The cottage itself is cosy with a working woodburner in the open sitting room (logs can be bought at the local garage in Musbury). Just down the lane is a footpath across open fields so ideal for dogs! Overall a relaxing few days and great place to stare at the stars away from the business of everyday life!
