Prestigious self catering at secluded
rural holiday rentals. Cottages with character in Devon, Southern England
which earned the English Tourist Board's 4 Star grade for comfort, location
& decor
What makes the
West Country Britain's most popular tourist destination ?
When you feel the need for a vacation to get away from the
frenetic pace of a demanding job, the needs of equally demanding children,
or even from the dreary boredom of a hum-drum existence, one of our luxury
1, 2, 4 and 5 bedroom holiday rentals near Colyton in East Devon
may be all you need to put your life back into perspective. You will soon
discover that the pace of life down here really is slower and, even in
mid-winter, the dramatic scenery will provide a perfect haven in which to
do just as you please for a while.
Those of us who live here can
experience, all year round, the tranquillity of the secluded coves, wooded
river valleys, lush pastures, and spectacular hills and moorland which are
an unchanging feature of the West Country's landscape. Improved road
networks mean that you can travel to the holiday cottages of your dreams
in under 3 hours from London.
Our Grade 2 listed self catering cottages
have been awarded "4 Stars" - one of the English Tourist Board's top
grades, and are situated in a secluded area well away
from noise pollution in the picturesque Axe Valley, which is on the South
Devon coast between the resorts of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis which are part
of the World Heritage Coastline and in an area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
Our
rental properties, which are listed in the Doomsday Book of 1086, offer
views of green fields and the freedom of tranquil woodland walks, farm
tours, nature trails and
picnic sites where you could encounter farm animals such as ewes and their
lambs peacefully munching grass, or even Nobby and Norma - our 2 fully
grown 7 feet tall ostriches - the World's largest flightless birds - who
may even entertain you with their crazy mating dance in full view of our
luxury holiday rentals !!
Let the children see the Sheep being sheared or feed
baby lambs with milk from a bottle. How would they like to hold a
baby lamb just after it has been born ?
If that doesn't
excite you, maybe the rich variety of other tourism attractions elsewhere in Devon will
persuade you to visit them ......
