Beautiful Devon corrage in stunning countryside location.

Lovely small traditional cottage with lovely safe outside space, with vviews of buttercup meadows, cows and new born calves. My grandaughter loved the trampoline in the garden. The pretty village has a welcoming community shop and pub serving delicious food and only a 10 minute walk. A real getting away from it all destination yet close to great days out. We will be back.

Peaceful haven

An absolutely wonderful break. A very well equipped property, surrounded by fields. We had calves as neighbours. A compact cottage with wonderful grounds and beaches only 15 minutes away. Didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much.

Picturesque

Second time we have stayed here. Always a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and had everything we needed and plenty of logs to use in the fire. Fabulous location, in easy reach of some great beaches. Nice pub in the village that served good food, which was a bonus.

Rustic cottage in rural Devon countryside

Great for families and people wanting a quiet holiday. Great area for exploring the Jurassic coast. Close to local pub, great grounds. Plenty of room. What more can we say. Communication with the owner Tracey was great, an easy going pleasant holiday destination.

Fabulous

What a place to stay. Absolutely beautiful setting. Local pub not far and close enough to the beaches for those wanting water based activities. If taking bookings for next year we would definitely go back as still so much to explore.

Lovely getaway by the Jurassic Coast

We had another fantastic stay at Waterfall cottage in Dalwood, thank you Tracey. The property was great for our family, nice and cosy, and had everything we needed. Loads of good places/beaches to visit within a 20 minute drive or so, whilst we also enjoyed the delights of Dalwood including a superb dinner at the Tuckers Arms. No doubt we will be back visiting again soon!

Perfect stay

Really the finest rental property we’ve stayed in. Setting, aesthetics, equipment level, comfort … all fabulous. We already re-booked for ourselves, our 2 year old and our little dog to return in August for 11 nights. Particular highlights were the extensive garden with hammock and trampoline, the family-friendly layout of the cottage which stays beautifully cool on hot days, and views of the hillsides. Thanks to Tracey, booking and arriving were a pleasure.

Beautiful stay

Just as advertised. A beautiful kept property with lots of charm! The setting is secluded and you will have to negotiate some narrow country lanes but it’s worth it. We had a very comfortable stay with my our young children and my parents- the shared door bathroom with bedrooms wasn’t a problem for us. Stairs are very steep but the children learnt to handle them safely. They loved the trampoline and hammock outside! And the games room was a fun extra place to explore. Local pub serves delicious food and the local play park is delightful (4 mins drive) We enjoyed the old fashioned trams at Seaton and the nearby wildlife park with lots of animals. Tracey was a brilliant host.

Wonderful property but terrible cleaning

The location is fantastic, we were so thrilled when we arrived. It was heaven for our nature loving kids. Playing in the stream in front of the house and jumping on the trampoline for hours. Waterfall cottage would have really been perfect, had it not been for the absolute terrible cleaning of especially the kitchen and the bathroom. It was horrible. We sent Tracey a text about it and sent her the photos I took. She responded quickly and apologised multiple times. We were offered a family meal on their costs. That was ofcourse very nice, but the uncleanliness of the cottage affected our whole stay. It made us not feel at home as a clean house would have done. If the house were clean we would definitely recommend it very much!

Just wonderful

We had a 5-night stay at Waterfall Cottage and it was fantastic. The inside and outside space worked brilliantly for us, as a group consisting of 3 generations (oldest 72 and youngest 4 years old!) The cottage had space for us to live and play, whilst remaining cosy too. We all enjoyed the garden, which was especially great for an Easter egg hunt. The location really worked for us as well, wonderful views, passing horses and cattle to look out for. We did a circular walk appropriately ending up at the pub in the village. It's also great for accessing local places of interest- we spent a day at the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, and also completed some junior parkrun tourism in Axminster. My 8 year old son loved the games room- this is a lovely additional space for relaxing. And both children enjoyed the sunken trampoline and the hammock! The cottage is well equipped for a family trip- it seems like everything has been thought of. Tracey was welcoming and helpful in all our communications. I would recommend staying at this cottage and I would happily return to this idyllic spot.

A heavenly cottage in beautiful countryside

We had the most magical week at Waterfall Cottage. My husband and I and our two little girls were there for October half term and it was so much more special than we could have imagined. Arriving at the house it feels like something from a book - just a walk away from the village but felt like we were in our own little world. We had a very friendly pig in the field behind the house and some gorgeous cows and calves at the end of the garden. The house itself had everything you could need, plus two wood burners which we made the most of even though the house was lovely and warm. Well equipped kitchen and lots of super kids books, games and puzzles. The layout of the house (twin bedroom accessed through the master and the upstairs bathroom between the two doubles) was clear in the description and worked for us, prob best for families or those v familiar with each other. It’s such a good base to explore the area and loads to do - we really enjoyed the beaches at Branscombe, Seaton, Charmouth (where we all had a dip in the sea!), Beer and Lyme Regis, we did the tram ride from Seaton which was great fun, the Axe Valley wildlife park just down the road (the zebras, flamingoes and ostriches were particular highlights!), Millers Farm shop, River Cottage (we didn’t eat there but the menu looked good!), and some of the surrounding villages/towns. Tracey was a fab host, gave us all the info we needed, was quick to respond and super helpful.

Fantastic cottage

We had a very good holiday at the cottage. It was even more beautiful then the pictures showed. It is very tranquil, surrounded by meadows and a nice creek, but with the village easily in distance. Contact with the owners was very pleasant! Our children were sad to leave (especially their own gaming room with all the games available). Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Cosy cottage in a rural location

We had a very lovely, simple family break in this very welcoming cottage. Once the teens and young adults had got used to the etiquette of a “jack and Jill” bathroom we all settled into this very relaxed but functional space with ease. The kitchen was very well furnished for self catering evenings. Local pub and community run shop/ post office within a short walk (7 mins max). Even with it lashing down with November rain outside, the well stocked wood burners glowed and staved off any chill. Lots of great places to visit nearby too.

I highly recommend this lovely cottage. We are a family of 4 and it was perfect location to explore the jurrasic coast, being able to them escape back to the countryside for quieter evenings was great. Tracy is also a great host and always available to help with any requests.
