Old Orchard Cottage

Absolutely beautiful place, very peaceful, with a magnificent river at the bottom of the track

Comfortable, clean, spacious, quiet and close to nice dog walks

The location is stunning, ponies in the field adjacent and so peaceful

The kitchen/diner is an excellent space and the upstairs bedroom is enormous and the kids loved it!

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at Old Orchard Cottage. We didn't want to leave. It was an ideal location for our exploring of the East Devon and West Dorset coastline. The ponies were lovely to watch while sitting under the grapevines on the patio.

We have no complaints

Unfortunate Wi-fi issues

Beautiful location, rural but only 15 minutes into village walking. Cottage overlooked paddock with ponies and horses. The pheasants were always around, sound sleep had by all. Evenings were peaceful, owls could be heard clearly, and a lush starry sky uninterrupted by lights. Property was in good order, spacious for my teens to hang out and me to relax. Kitchen well equipped and roomy. Personally, I liked the split level, and my children did too. Lovely outside space, overlooking the hills and paddocks, just a shame the weather didn't allow us to utilise these fully. We all slept soundly only a local Cockerell crowing in the morning. No other noise. Idyllic location and cottage💛 Local walks to be explored if your hiking. 15 minutes to the beach by car if you enjoy the coast.

Nothing in particular. I am fussy. Bathroom bin could do with a bleach but that's it. I cleaned out the kitchen bin.

PLEASE NOTE the house has 5 beds max, not the 7 stated in 2 places by Booking.com, which the owner tells us is difficult to get corrected. Old Orchard Cottage, its surroundings and farm setting couldn’t be nicer. Lots of beach options, along with places to visit and keep the kids occupied. Ours (4, 6 & 12) loved Crealy theme park, Pecorama and eating at the Cow and Bean in Axminster. We love the high ceiling in the kitchen and the grand fireplace gives the sitting room real character. Everything we needed was there and having the master bedroom away from the upstairs one was ideal for a bit of peace and quiet from children/teenagers wanting to sleep in. Beware Devon’s roads might be narrower and more worn than you’re used to in places, so take them with a little caution.

A lovely tranquil location.
