Tulip Tree Cottage

About this property

Bursting with character and charm, this attractive stone cottage sits in the quaint village of Axmouth, just 1.5 miles from the coastal town of Seaton. Sleeping six guests in three spacious bedrooms, this dog-friendly holiday home is perfectly suited for families and friends seeking a peaceful retreat close to Devon’s Jurassic Coast. Spend your days wandering coastal trails, fossil-hunting and messing about on the water. Then return here for garden BBQs and relaxing evenings snuggled around the wood burner.

Step inside to find a harmonious blend of comfort, style and history. This two-storey cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to highlight its period charm while offering all the contemporary comforts you might expect. Featuring wooden beams, a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, and an assortment of comfortable, antique-style furniture, the lounge invites cosy evenings with your loved ones. The modern, farmhouse-style kitchen is a delight to prepare food in, before gathering around the dining table in the light-filled conservatory for mealtimes of fun and laughter. Let the merriment spill outside and into the mature lawned garden, which includes a BBQ, outdoor dining table, and a garden bench that invites quiet mornings with a cuppa, listening to birdsong. When night falls, three elegant bedrooms promise a refreshing night’s sleep on the first floor; choose between two doubles and a twin. A modern family bathroom completes the interior.

Stroll out and wander through the village to the banks of the River Axe for incredible birdwatching opportunities. It’s a short walk from here to Seaton (1.5 miles), gateway to the Jurassic Coast, and the South West Coast Path. This charming town boasts an abundance of shops and eateries, a magical narrow-gauge tram, and is a playground for water-sports fans, with kayaking and paddle-boarding, and The Grizzly 20 mile run held in March each year, among the activities on offer. A little further afield are the coastal villages of Branscombe and Beer, famous for its Quarry Caves and Lyme Regis known as the Pearl of Dorset.
