Champerty Cottage nestles in the beautiful Corry Valley lying among the Blackdown Hills (AOB)area. 10 minutes from the lively & historic seaside town of Lyme Regis, 25 minutes from the Jurassic Coast beaches of Beer and Branscombe and 35 minutes from Exeter, Champerty Cottage is thought to date from the 1600s and lies next to the main house Lea Cross. The cottage has Wifi, its own patio, garden & parking. The cottage is spacious with separate utility (with washing machine & dryer) entrance space, downstairs toilet, kitchen/diner, patio for outside dining, private garden with shrubbery and lawn area, spacious living room with smart tv and WiFi access, a twin bedroom (with ample storage/hanging space), family bathroom with bath/shower/WC and a large main bedroom with lots of hanging space and chests of drawers for storage. The entire cottage and private garden is at guests' disposal. There is parking outside the cottage and a private gate to the cottage leading from the lane running adjacent to the property. We will be around and available to give assistance and local advice if required but always give our guests the space to enjoy the cottage & garden in complete privacy. Dalwood is a small, friendly village with a population of around 400. It has a 15th century church (St. Peter's), a small local shop/Post Office and an 800 year old pub, The Tucker's Arms. The pub is a short walk from the house through fields or along the main road to the village (turn right out of the gate and keep going to the crossroads, then turn right & follow the road down into the village). Dalwood lies in the Blackdown Hills Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and as a result the surrounding area remains picturesque and unspoilt. There are numerous river and hill walks locally and cliff and beach walks a short car journey away. Dalwood is about 3 miles from the town of Axminster which has Co-Op and Tesco's supermarkets plus other small local shops, restaurants (including River Cottage Kitchen), pubs and cafes. River Cottage HQ is a short drive away and hosts a variety of interesting cookery courses and dining experiences.
