“Peaceful and cosy”
We stayed at The Old Log Shed in Honiton for a week at the end of July and had a lovely holiday. The owners and their family are so welcoming and helpful and the house itself is beautifully furnished, equipped to a very high standard and so comfortable. The barbecue area and terrace is a wonderful, well thought out outdoor living space and a great bonus. The garden is fabulous and, with two boys, it was great for kicking a football around and they also loved the tennis court. I would happily recommend the accommodation and its surroundings; it was peaceful, picturesque, relaxing, cosy and so comfortable. I can imagine it would be lovely all year round with the log burner in the living room to keep you warm and snug in colder months. If you are looking for a cosy, comfortable and relaxing home from home to have a great break in Devon, then this is a great place to stay.

About the location
HONITON
Ottery St Mary 6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.5 miles; Exeter 22 miles.
Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.
