“We enjoyed a three night stay with our two children and 3 and 1.”

The weather was very autumnal, blustery and wet and the accommodation was a warm and cosy place to return to after exploring the local beaches. It is only a ten minute drive from coast so perfect if travelling with small ones! Although described as a ‘cottage’ the accommodation is more like a flat. (My 3 year old was mystified by the lack of stairs) The garden is very pretty, as is the view of thatched roofs but if you’re looking for cottage charm inside you may be disappointed. We did ...

The weather was very autumnal, blustery and wet and the accommodation was a warm and cosy place to return to after exploring the local beaches. It is only a ten minute drive from coast so perfect if travelling with small ones! Although described as a ‘cottage’ the accommodation is more like a flat. (My 3 year old was mystified by the lack of stairs) The garden is very pretty, as is the view of thatched roofs but if you’re looking for cottage charm inside you may be disappointed. We did not see the owners but a sweet little pack of tea biscuits and juice for the children was left and they were quick to respond to text message regarding arrival time. All in all it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a few days.

“Can not recommend enough!”

Thank you Annie for being so welcoming, helpful and lovely. Little Meg will forever be our highlight. Beautiful location to stay, every single room was spotless and well organised. There was board games to keep the children entertained and some DVDs. We was lucky enough to use the little BBQ and had some lovely evenings out in the garden. Annie provides helpful information/guides inside in the folders which was great if you’re not familiar with Devon. The welcome basket and fresh flowers was a great additional touch. Perfect location, short distance to the essentials such as super market/pharmacy/butchers etc, and some great attractions a short drive away. Definitely will be back.☀️

“The flat is extremely comfy and the garden is really scenic.”

there is not an eating place very near, our only slight disappointment. The owners could not have been more pleasant and helpful however, so would recommend this as a peaceful retreat. Change of sink, change of scene in these trying times.

The property

Set in the little hamlet of Wiggaton, amid rolling farmland and lush woods is Charlston, a nicely presented ground floor apartment, attached to the friendly owners home and next to the local church.

One mile away, the popular market town of Ottery St Mary, famed for its annual November 5th 'Tar Barrels' celebration, sits beside the River Otter - home to a newly populated resident beaver colony.

Here you'll find interesting shops, cafes, and a large garden nursery.

Charlston is within easy reach of the stunning Jurassic Coast and just a short drive to the cathedral city of Exeter, making it the perfect base for exploring the beautiful East Devon countryside.

All on one level the apartment has a large, sunny, open plan lounge/kitchen/diner with glazed doors looking over your own pristine flower filled garden and the adjacent church.

The large master double bedroom also enjoys views over the garden and is adjacent to the newly fitted, smart family bathroom.

The smaller bunk room with en- suite shower room is ideal for youngsters or those who are young at heart.
