  • "~The owner is lovely and very helpful."

    Where we were is beautiful area and a good area for visiting the old houses etc. Only problem is finding nuthatch and the narrow bad roads. Other than that had a great week

  • "Anna is an excellent host and could not have been more welcoming."

    The gift of freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam waiting for us was a delight. This is one of the best cottages I have ever rented. The addition of the available hot tub added even more . The bed was super comfortable and all the little touches from a kitchen apron to milk and ground coffee left by Anna made our stay just perfect. We were very sad to leave . I would definitely stay again any time

  • "A wonderful stay at Nuthatch!"

    Upon arrival, we were greeted with a freshly baked cake made by Anna which was a lovely treat! We couldn’t believe how quiet the surroundings were at night (could even hear the owls!) and loved star-gazing whilst sat in the hot tub! Everything we needed for a week’s stay was in the property and only 15 mins from Honiton for shops, pubs etc! The last couple of miles are via some very narrow, single track lanes - would definitely recommend doing a Google Street view before travelling as this really helped get an idea of whereabouts the property was and what to expect! Would thoroughly recommend!

    Set in stunning countryside, it is so peaceful. The cottage offers every comfort and facilities. We had a warm welcome from Anna, home baked brownies, wine and fresh flowers. A comfortable bolthole to return to, after visiting picturesque villages, beaches, towns and Exeter city.

  • "Nice cottage in a very quiet location - comfortable."

    The cottage is adjacent to the owners house. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The approach was through very narrow lanes, but was acceptable. The warning in the details not to approach from Stockland was wise.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Nuthatch."

    The attention to detail by the host was second to none. We were left a lovely homemade cake and bottle of wine and all kitchen condiments, tea, coffee, cooking oil etc were available. The hot tub was great and rather large for 2 people so could easily relax and spread out. The mile drive down a single track was a bit bumpy and overgrown and we actually thought we were lost when we first drove down it but you do get used to it. Soft furnishings may be ready for a refurb but this didn't affect our very relaxing stay and would happily stay again.

    Hi Tracy Thank you for your lovely feedback from your stay at Nuthatch! I will be having a close look at the soft furnishings and appreciate your comments on the possible need for an upgrade. Would very much appreciate any specific observations - your feedback is very important to me! Please don’t hesitate to call me if you would like to. Kind regards, Anna Property Owner

    We needed a break badly and staying in your cottage was the rest and peace we needed. The thoughtfulness you put into making the cottage a home from home is so welcoming and comforting. It’s a real peace haven. Thank you for the eggs, freshly baked goodies and stunning garden flowers, you’re the perfect host. I’ve recommended this cottage to all my friends and family.

  • "Had a lovely stay, the cottage is very rural so very quiet & peaceful."

    Getting to the cottage is not for the fainthearted, it's down a 1.5 mile long single track road. Once you do get to the end of the road though there are lots of beaches to visit & some beautiful villages with good pubs to eat out. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful break. Anna the host is lovely & very welcoming.

HONITON

Ottery St Mary 5.6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.2 miles; Exeter 16.7 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.
