About this property

It is our intention to provide quality accommodation at a reasonable price!
Our Guests have their own space in a quiet area, a private garden with open views over the surrounding countryside and to observe the local wildlife. Our cottage has been fitted out as a comfortable home from home. Due to little light pollution, on clear nights you can see and identify the stars and the planets from the garden.
Seaton is centrally located for exploring the Jurassic South Devon/Dorset coast, the Seaton wetlands, the tramway and the 2000 year old quarry and caves at Beer. From the promenade you see three periods of rock formations. Cretaceous, Triassic and Jurassic, There are plenty of activities for children, Theme and wildlife parks, a donkey Sanctuary, and beautiful gardens to visit. The old Roman city of Exeter is 45 minutes drive and is well worth a visit with it's Roman walls, tunnels, the river Exe and a magnificent Cathedral. The Norman Lockyer observatory from where he discovered, and named, Helium in the sun. We could go on and on, but why not come and see for yourself. Oh! I forgot to mention the beaches and...
Your hosts, Gerry and Tess.

All-round excellent

There's absolutely nothing to fault with this property/our stay. So clean and spacious, beautiful views from lounge together with abundance of birds around host's feeders and plenty of other wildlife all seen from double-vista lounge. Gerry was so friendly, helpful and approachable and Tess immediately sorted our cooker confusion. Had lovely meals in olde worlde Wheelwright Inne down road and of course a beautiful area to boot. We are so pleased we discovered this gem.

About the host

Hosted by Gerry Boulter. or Tess Boulter.

My wife and I ran had been running B & B and / or self catering cottages for over twelve years.
We purchased St, Nicholas - an old care home - in 2016 converting it into a comfortable family home for us and our two sons, plus two holiday lets.
What we wanted to achieve was quality accommodation at a reasonable price.
In April 2019 we started the lettings and the feedback we have had from our customers in 2019 has been very positive giving us a rating of 4.9+ stars, citing quality, cleanliness, a fully equipped, light, airy and comfortable cottage, in a superb location.

For 2020 we have opened for business on the HomeAway site and looking forward to our first customers.

Why they chose this property

A beautiful rural location with lovely views but close enough to the town, the main road, and without the traffic noise.
The owner (Gerry) resides on site and available at any time.
