Description
Dragon Cottage is a beautifully converted barn nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Musbury, near Axminster in Devon. This charming retreat combines rustic character with modern comforts, offering a peaceful escape surrounded by wrap-around gardens and sweeping countryside views.
Perfect for families or friends, the cottage accommodates up to four guests and their well-behaved pets. Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner ideal for preparing and enjoying home-cooked meals together. The welcoming sitting room, complete with a Smart TV and a woodburning stove, provides a warm and inviting space to unwind after a day of exploring. A bright garden room offers an additional spot to relax while soaking in the stunning rural scenery. The ground floor also features a stylish bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower, along with a plush king-size bedroom. Upstairs, a charming twin bedroom with a casement window offers breathtaking views of the rolling Devon hills. Outside, the extensive wrap-around gardens create a tranquil haven with specimen trees and cottage-style planting. Multiple patio and gravelled seating areas invite you to dine alfresco or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Dragon Cottage is ideally located for exploring the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with its dramatic coastline, scenic walking trails, and charming villages. Right in Musbury, you’ll find a well-stocked village shop for essentials and local produce, and The Hind, a welcoming Georgian/Victorian pub offering home-cooked meals, locally sourced ales, and a friendly atmosphere. Millers Farm Shop in nearby Kilmington offers quality local produce and is a fantastic spot to stock up on holiday essentials. For keen walkers, Musbury Castle, an Iron Age hillfort, offers panoramic views over the Axe Valley and is a fantastic spot for a countryside walk steeped in history. Nearby attractions include River Cottage HQ, Trill Farm Garden, and the Axminster Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the town’s famous carpet industry. For seaside adventures, the historic town of Lyme Regis is just a short drive away, known for its fossil-rich beaches and iconic Cobb Harbour. Families will also enjoy visits to Seaton Tramway, Seaton Wetlands, and Beer Quarry Caves, all offering unique and memorable experiences. With so much to see and do, Dragon Cottage in Musbury is the perfect base for a relaxing and memorable Devon holiday.

What guests are saying
A lovely cottage in a quiet location, well equipped and with a good size well kept enclosed garden ideal for our dog.
Nearby shop and garage and within easy reach of the South West coast path and coastal towns including Lyme Regis, Seaton, Beer and Sidmouth.
Things we didn’t like was waiting ages for hot water and the gardener turning up unannounced.
Things we did like, absolutely everything else, the cottage was lovely the area was great and we would go back in a heartbeat. Great for the dog as well.
Clean & comfortable fairly secluded cottage in a perfect location to explore by car the delights of east Devon & west Dorset.
No contact from owners / caretakers during the stay but welcome pack of biscuits and essentials including milk made us feel welcome. Kitchen & utilities well stocked with equipment needed to make self catering straightforward. Spar shop at garage is well stocked was easy to reach short walk away. Cottage is recommended.
