About the home

Mannings Cottage is a charming country cottage that offers an ideal base from which to explore both the stunning coastline and beautiful countryside that East Devon and its surrounds offer. It is suitable for families, couples or groups of friends with its configuration of 3 bedrooms sleeping 5 people. The stone cottage has character accents such as exposed beams, slate floors and a cosy wood-burning stove, but provides modern and comfortable accommodation. It is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the charming village of Stockland, which is surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside but is only 20 minutes from the coast and 30 minutes to the cathedral city of Exeter or the popular market town of Bridport. The large private garden is delightful with a separate outdoor seating area for 6. The cottage has internet access and Wi-fi is available.

The West Country / Devon region

Although only 10 minutes from the A303/A30, Mannings Cottage is surrounded by beautiful rolling green hills and farmland, and therefore enjoys the peace and quiet that comes with this idyllic location. The cottage is ideally situated to allow guests to enjoy the beauty of the countryside whilst being within striking distance of the coast. There are many public footpaths and bridleways for walking and cycling in the spectacular Blackdown Hills around the village. The Jurassic Coast, which was named a World Heritage Site in 2001, is a short 25 minute drive away to Lyme Regis with its sandy beach and boardwalk. The charming fishing villages of Beer and Branscombe are only 30 minutes as are the upmarket towns of Sidmouth and Topsham and the cathedral city of Exeter. The market town of Bridport in West Dorest and nearby villages of Burton Bradstock and West Bay with their popular beaches and restaurants are also only a short drive.

The Axminster / Stockland area

Nearer to Stockland, within a 15 minute drive, are Honiton with its antique shops and gastro pub The Holt, and Axminster where guests can visit the River Cottage Canteen. Large supermarkets, local butchers, fishmongers and bakeries are available in both Honiton and Axminster. There is also an excellent farm shop -- Millers Farm Shop -- in nearby Kilmington, which offers a large array of fresh produce and goods, a wet fish bar, wine, products imported from France and a small cafe. There are several good pubs nearby in the surrounding villages, including The Tuckers Arms in Dalwood, The Candlelight Inn in Bishopswood (http://www.candlelight-inn.co.uk) and the Tytherleigh Arms outside Axminster (http://www.tytherleigharms.com).

“Best of both worlds - city comforts in rural setting / close to hills and coast” Very well appointed cottage in lovely, quiet village in East Devon, within Blackdown Hills.15 minutes drive either way to nice market towns of Honiton and Axminster, or 20 mins to coast. Owner very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about local area - towns, facilities, attractions, restaurants etc. Excellent cottage presentation, and some nice extra comforts e.g. welcome treats, basic larder supplies, spare dishwasher tabs, firewood etc. Good wi-fi connection, and decent mobile reception in house (Vodafone). Conservatory a nice addition, perfect for relaxing in warmth even when raining! In summary, highly recommended for a pleasant countryside retreat, yet offering access to facilities and attractions of Devon/Dorset.

“Simply Perfect 5*” This is the perfect place to stay to explore this beautiful part of Devon and surrounding areas. We selected this property primarily because of the look and description on holiday lettings. Gut... more

“An absolute must book, if visiting Devon, 5 Star” "We had a lovely long weekend in Devon at Mannings Cottage. My wife and I spent a few days with another couple enjoying the local walks, and the local pub which was very welcoming! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean with lovely furnishings and very comfy beds. We didn't venture too far because it was great to relax in front of the fire but the local area was very pretty. The cottage is a good size for 2 couples with enough room to find your own space whilst still being cosy. We'll definitely be back in the summer to enjoy the garden, coast and Diana's homemade cakes!"

“Friendly and Accommodating” We stayed at Mannings Cottage for an extended weekend in November last year and it was lovely. The Cottage itself was perfect for us with our very young family and was very family friendly with lots of toys and equipment for our children so we hardly needed to be bring stuff with us. The Cottage is furnished and decorated beautifully and sits well in a great village which was a great location for the local sites. The whole trip was perfect and easy for us and we would recommend to anyone.

“A very well furnished family holiday home” We really enjoyed our stay at Mannings Cottage. The owners are very friendly and it felt like a home from home. Our children had use of their garden (along with the garden attached to the holiday property) and really enjoyed using the large trampoline! There were lots to keep us entertained within the area and most beach resorts are within 30-40 mins away. We will definatly be coming to stay again!

“Very comfortable, very well equipped, great location - first class.” We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Mannings cottage. It's in a great location for the Jurassic coast, and it was well equipped for us and our kids. Excellent.
