• "This is a lovely property."

  I have never stayed anywhere so quiet. The hosts, Angela & Steve provided everything we needed for our stay. It was a great base for us to explore the area. We visited Lyme Regis, West Bay, Bridport, Durdle Door, Seaton and others. I would book again in a heartbeat.

  We are both so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. We do consider ourselves very privileged to live in such a beautiful part of the country and love being able to share this with lovely people like yourselves. Hopefully we will see you again sometime. Angela and Steve Property Owner

• "Absolutely perfect."

  10/10 Our holiday began with a warm welcome from Steve and Angela. Absolutely everything conceivable was provided for our stay including a bottle of wine on our arrival. The warm and cosy cottage is set in quiet woodland off the beaten track but is also within easy location of the sea and beaches of Seaton, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth are between 11 to 16 miles away. We thoroughly enjoyed our quiet and peaceful location spending time chilling out watching birds from the conservatory and we most definitely plan to return next year.

  It was lovely to meet you both and to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Lane End. We are very lucky to live in such a peaceful area and we really like being able to share it with people such as yourselves. We also like the fact that it is so close to lots of different places of interest to visit especially our lovely local beaches. Thanks for feeding the birds and we hope to see you again. Thanks again Angela and Steve Property Owner

  It's a real treat to see so many beautiful birds and watching them feed and watching the different assortment that come to the feeders unfortunately our stay was cut short because one was taken ill so we didn't get to visit the surrounding places or seaside towns but the garden was so beautiful it made up for it

  Very good bathroom and shower facility. Very clean. Only problem was a few pot holes in road, as our car unfortunately has a low exhaust, so had to be careful. Otherwise, excellent, lovely helpful hosts, and much appreciated the bottle of wine. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would return.

  Thank you so much for your kind feedback we are very grateful that you took the time to give us such positive feedback. Yes unfortunately the lane is a bit of an issue and one that we hope to remedy in the future with the agreement and some financial support from our one neighbour.

  A bit difficult to locate the cottage the first time, but rural bliss afterwards. Plenty of room inside - a perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you for it all.

  We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, the huge variety of birds is one of the reasons that we make sure that there is bird seed for you to use. Sorry that you found it a bit tricky to find the first time but this is one of the advantages of the cottage once you arrive is that there is only one neighbour.

  We don’t generally like having the owners on the doorstep and it didn’t mention this was the case until after we booked and got all the extra details, so were a little apprehensive as to how involved they would be. If it had said initially we wouldn’t have gone for it. They kept our privacy and we’re great hosts. We only saw them at the beginning, middle and end of our two week stay. A marvellous cottage and a good location to explore the South, East and West of Devon. While having Dorset and Somerset nearby too. We had a lovely stay.

  Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so pleased that you did not feel that we were being intrusive. As hosts it is always a tricky one as well to know whether to check in every day or just beginning, middle and end. We are really happy that we got it right.

  The house is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated throughout with a huge kitchen, comfortable sitting room and snug for reading, a dining area with gorgeous grandfather clock and conservatory with comfy recliners. Upstairs, the bedroom was so comfortable, we had wonderful night’s sleeps. The outside garden is a birdwatcher’s paradise and we spent every morning watching the variety of great and blue tits, black caps and nuthatches swooping in to get their breakfast. However, our very favourite thing was to have breakfast outside where we were joined by the three friendly resident chickens Thelma, Hoppy and Bubbles. In the evening, you can see the bats swooping overhead and hear the owls. Our wonderful hosts Angela and Steve were so kind and friendly to us throughout our stay, making us feel right at home.

  I received a very warm welcome - along with a goody tray of refreshments and wine! They visited daily to ensure everything was OK and that I had plenty of wood for the log burner - they even brought freshly laid eggs for me. Their visits were reassuring (particularly as I was on holiday alone and got was snowed in) - they were certainly not intrusive. The cottage itself was exceptionally clean and cosy - even better than it looked in the photographs. The setting was very beautiful and serene, with pheasants and a plethora of small birds in the garden. My only criticisms are that the upstairs shower was not very powerful and had my husband been able to join me for the weekend we may have found the bed a little small - mind you, we are both fatties! The booking process and communication was simple. I would definitely recommend Lane End Cottage at any time of year and I hope to return soon.
