About this property

Sandford Cottage 5 Star Holiday Retreat

Sandford Cottage is located on Southmoor Farm, close to the very attractive village of Hawkchurch in South East Devon and only 5 miles from Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast. Southmoor Farm is approximately 40 acres and apart from the farm house, the majority of land remains untouched, apart from grass maintenance. The result is acres of secluded 'wild' areas, including woodland, meadows, lake, ponds and streams for you to enjoy. Apart from being a bird watchers paradise, we can boast a multitude of wildlife with deer, fox and badgers etc. in fact your very own nature reserve.

This very peaceful and secluded cottage was rebuilt in1989 to the original design with local stone, solid walls and a low exposed timber beamed ceiling and has recently undergone a complete interior refurbishment.
Accommodation comprises of a carpeted open plan sitting room and kitchen, modern units, oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The sitting room area with a large inglenook fireplace and wood burner is tastefully furnished with a sofa, armchair, flat screen television and coffee table. A carpeted staircase rises from the sitting room taking you to the bedroom with a roomy king size bed, flat screen television, pine wardrobe and bedroom furniture. This in turn leads you into the spacious fully tiled shower room and toilet, with vanity unit and heated towel rail.
Heating is by electric wall heaters and wood burner with logs supplied without charge.
Due to the secluded location, although available, the dongle internet connection can be intermittent.
Sorry No Pets or Smokers
We also have an additional property on the farm, Orchard Mews with a Friday change-over day and available to book through Vrbo.

Peace and Tranquility
A beautiful, well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage, ideal for relaxing and switching off from the stresses and strains of everyday life. We even lived without the internet for the whole week! Lovely welcome from Pete and Bev, including a variety of ‘goodies’ to help us settle in. Much appreciated after a long drive from the midlands. The remote location is perfect for encouraging a variety of wildlife, the highlight of which was the nightly visits from Mr Badger, eager for his food. Ideally located for Lyme Regis, Axminster and many other towns and villages, we managed to ‘tick off’ a number of locations during our week, including: Honiton, Taunton, Seaton, Branscombe, Beer, Manacute House, Forde Abbey and The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth. Sandford Cottage is highly recommended for anyone wishing to switch off, enjoy the gorgeous landscape and local wildlife and indulge in a wide variety of restaurants, pubs and cafes.

A great place to reset
The cottage really is the ideal place to relax, with beautiful walks to charming seaside towns and villages, this is the perfect base. Pete and Bev give a lovely warm welcome and the cottage is immaculate. The wildlife is literally on your doorstep with rabbits, robins, badgers and deers plus many more. We had an absolutely amazing time getting away from it all. Thank you once again.
