Ixworth Cottage

About this property

Ixworth Cottage is a most attractive barn conversion offering quality holiday accommodation in the delightful setting of a small family-run farm (it's just a small-holding - no farm machinery). Situated on the outskirts of the attractive and historic market town of Ottery St Mary, and about 15 minutes drive from the pretty seaside resort of Sidmouth on the stunning Jurassic coast, the farm is a real delight. It`s home to a wide range of animals, including Pygmy goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. There are free range eggs and delicious homemade jams, as well as home grown seasonable vegetables, often available.This self-contained property has been thoughtfully designed to offer everything you could wish for in a really comfortable modern holiday cottage, including fitted kitchen with dishwasher, bathroom with power shower and central heating. The open-plan ground floor living area is light and airy with French windows opening to a sunny patio at the rear. Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms (both of which have beds that can be made up as either doubles or twins) and there`s a newly fitted bathroom.

The town takes its name historically from the many otters that lived on the riverside. Set amongst green Devon countryside and it’s dominated by St Mary’s Church.  The town offers a few shops and a good supermarket. There are a few public houses, café and restaurants in the town.

The surrounding area offers much to do for all age groups, children will have fun at nearby Escot Park (less than 3 miles away).  Keen gardeners will not want to miss the wonderful Otter Nurseries as well as Joshua’s Harvest Store and Restaurant a short stroll from the centre of town.  Walkers will love the beautiful countryside routes on the doorstep (including a lovely stroll to the River Otter to the famous Tumbling Weir). The coast at Sidmouth is around 7 miles and the lovely West Dorset seaside town of Lyme Regis is about 35 minutes’ drive away. An idyllic holiday setting for families and couples, old and young alike.
