Guests say
Shepherds Knapp Lodge-UK13284 in Axminster offers a cosy, homely experience with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the luxury of a hot tub. The property is dog-friendly and suitable for guests with mobility issues, though not for wheelchairs. The surrounding countryside and proximity to beaches are highlights, with the added warmth of a welcoming host.
The majority of guests found the cottage clean and comfortable. However, one review mentioned it was only 'partly clean', suggesting room for improvement.
The location is praised for its peacefulness, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to local attractions and beaches. The village pub is within walking distance, adding to the location's appeal.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the lodge cosy, but several mentioned the settee being low and difficult to get out of, which affected the comfort level for some.
While the reviews positively mention the well-equipped kitchen and the hot tub, there is not enough information on the overall maintenance of the facilities to provide a score.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident from the welcome pack with cream tea mentioned by several guests. It's a delightful touch, although such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely little place in a quiet village. Relaxing break and a nice village pub about 15 minutes walk away (bring a torch, the path there and back is very dark!)

A cosy, well equipped cottage with beautiful views. We enjoyed using the hot tub. We also appreciated the afternoon tea kindly provided by the owner Greg who was very helpful.Just 2 small negatives, there is no wardrobe in the double bedroom and the sofa is quite low. These are small issues and definitely not enough to put us off returning.
