Guests say
Guests have praised the holiday rental at 9 Mitchell Gardens for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and convenient location. The property is well-equipped, offering a comfortable stay with a special mention for the comfortable double bed. While Axminster is not described as particularly exciting, it is appreciated as a good base for exploring East Devon and West Dorset. Some guests suggested minor improvements, but overall, the property is highly recommended for its standards and as a base for sightseeing.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with many guests impressed by the immaculate condition. One review mentioned dust and unwashed cutlery, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is generally seen as convenient, close to supermarkets, transport links, and as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. Axminster itself is not the highlight, but its position is strategic for day trips.
Comfort is frequently mentioned positively, especially the double bed. However, a few guests noted the small shower space, suggesting the addition of a shelf could enhance comfort.

Great Community and independent shops, nice market on a Thursday and lovely real ales at the Axminster Inn and The Ale Way. Great access to the coast and other interesting places to visit. Would be happy to stay again.

Mitchell Gardens is clean, comfortable & well very equipped. The additional toilet is a definite bonus & the property has good WIFI connectivity, a must have for our teenage granddaughter. On arrival, we parked in the designated space & our car stayed there all week until departure day. The train station & bus terminus are located less than 5 minutes walk away & got us to all our destinations without the stress of trying to find parking in peak season. Two supermarkets very nearby & Axminster has a small weekly market on a Thursday, bought fruit, veg & bread there. Donât expect a view, itâs on a small housing development & backs onto a carpark. Having said that it ticked all the boxes for us. We had a most enjoyable week & would certainly book again.
