Honeysuckle Cottage

About this property

Honeysuckle Cottage is one of five Grade II listed stone-built cottages nestled within the peaceful grounds of Little Trill, near the village of Musbury in East Devon. Set in over three acres of beautifully maintained communal gardens, this pretty cottage offers a safe and scenic retreat for families or small groups, with plenty of space for children to play and explore while adults relax and soak up the tranquillity of the countryside.

A gravelled courtyard parking area leads to the front of the cottage, where a small terrace with outdoor seating overlooks the impressive shared grounds. Inside, the open-plan living space retains much of the cottage’s original character, featuring exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, and a cosy sitting area. The farmhouse-style kitchen is thoughtfully designed to complement the historic charm of the property, and includes all the essentials for preparing family meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table beside a traditional window seat.

Upstairs, Honeysuckle Cottage comfortably sleeps four guests across two bedrooms: a homely double room with sloping ceilings and countryside views, and a twin room ideal for children. A tiled bathroom with a bath, shower attachment, WC, and basin provides a relaxing space to refresh after a day of exploring.

Outside, guests can enjoy the extensive shared grounds, which include lawns, colourful planting, and peaceful seating areas, perfect for dining al fresco or simply enjoying the sunshine. A welcome pack is provided on arrival, including milk, tea, and a selection of locally sourced treats to help you settle in and start your holiday with ease.

Located on the edge of Musbury, a picturesque village with a shop and friendly pub, Honeysuckle Cottage enjoys a prime position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding landscape is a haven for walkers and nature lovers, with access to the South West Coastal Path and the dramatic Jurassic Coastline. Nearby hill forts such as Musbury Castle and Lamberts Castle offer panoramic views and a glimpse into the region’s rich history.

Little Trill is ideally situated between Axminster and Seaton, with the popular seaside town of Lyme Regis just five miles away. Visitors can enjoy the iconic Cobb Harbour, browse independent shops and galleries, or visit attractions such as the Lyme Regis Aquarium, Marine Theatre, and town museum. Seaton also offers a mile-long beach, Wetlands Centre, and a scenic tramway ride along the River Axe.

For family-friendly outings, the picturesque fishing village of Beer, the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, and the Axe Valley Animal Park, home to a variety of animals from around the world, are all within easy reach.

Whether you're drawn to coastal walks, bird watching, fossil hunting, or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings, Honeysuckle Cottage at Little Trill offers a welcoming and well-positioned base for discovering the beauty of East Devon.
