Snaptrip says
The Malt House in Colyton is a delightful and charming cottage, highly praised for its well-fitted kitchen, smart TV, and large dog-friendly garden. It is considered ideal for families and pets, offering a cozy retreat with a characterful village to explore and proximity to the Jurassic coast. The local Kingfisher pub is recommended for meals, though booking may be necessary. Some guests experienced minor parking issues and found the seating less comfortable, but overall, the property is well-regarded and many express a desire to return.

The location is consistently praised for being excellent, with its proximity to the Jurassic coast and the charming village of Colyton. The area is ideal for exploring and has a good local pub.
The cottage is described as cozy and well-equipped, suggesting a high level of comfort. However, one review mentioned uncomfortable seating, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities like the well-fitted kitchen and smart TV are appreciated, and the garden is a bonus. The mention of a well-equipped cottage indicates good maintenance. Parking issues are noted but do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the provision of facilities, so it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
Stone period cottage situated right in the heart of the stunning town of Colyton, with Seaton just five minute drive from the property. Your best four-legged is welcome too!
This charming, detached, stone, period cottage has a large, enclosed walled garden in the centre of this historic small market town of Colyton between the coastal towns of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis. A couple of hundred metres to the shops, inns and the picturesque River Coly. This property, with its exposed stone walls and wooden beams, has a second living room with a sofa bed for flexible sleeping.
On the ground floor, you’ll find a well-presented and comfortably furnished lounge/dining area, with exposed beams and a door to a rear private enclosed garden with outdoor furniture. The well-fitted kitchen also has a dining table and chairs, adding further flexibility to your stay. The second sitting room has a sofa bed, meaning that 6 guests could stay if desired. Adjacent to this is a shower room with a WC. Take the original cottage-style staircase to the first floor where you’ll find a double room and a twin, both in calm, neutral colours. A bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles is on this floor too. An additional child’s folding bed is also available with a duvet and pillows. Please bring your own bed linen if this is required.
The popular small seaside town of Seaton with its superb beach, esplanade, harbour, shops and golf course is 3 miles away. Spectacular cliff-top walks on the Jurassic Coast await and you can make day trips to the pretty fishing village of Beer and onto Branscombe, both within 5.5 miles. The coastal town of Lyme Regis with its famous harbour wall known as the Cobb and plenty of interesting specialist shops, is a 7-mile drive over the Devon border into Dorset. The small thriving market town of Axminster, famous for the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall River Cottage Kitchen and Deli, also has plenty of shops and a weekly street market and is also only 7 miles away.

Well equipped cottage in a really lovely location. The price was very reasonable which I assume is down to the age of the internal decoration and furniture.

While the cottage was lovely and well equipped, and the location great, we did find the armchairs and sofa very uncomfortable, especially after a long day of walking.
