Lance and Ants welcomed us to our stay at Acorn Cottage. The cottage is in a gorgeous location. It was beautifully presented and every detail has been considered. The kitchen was perfect and well stocked with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. We absolutely loved our stay there and would highly recommend Acorn Cottage to everyone!

I stayed at Acorn Cottage for 3 nights and it was fabulous! It's a beautiful, comfortable, cosy, well equipped cottage furnished to a high standard. Super location for coastal walks, The Donkey Sanctuary, Beer, Branscombe and Lyme Reis. Wonderful and generous welcome hamper as well!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. From
the call from one the owners to advise us the cottage was ready for
us this really was a marvellous experience throughout. Ants, one of the
owners, was there when we arrived to greet us and show us around -
the owners were always on hand but never intrusive.
The cottage is a gorgeous, cosy retreat, spotlessly clean and very well
equipped. The owners also supplied a brilliant Welcome Basket - lovely bread,
milk, butter etc. many extras including chocolates and a wonderful home made
cake.
There is so much to compliment as regard this stay but perhaps the biggest is
before we left we booked again for next year !!!

By far the nicest cottage we have spent a week in. Anthony and Lance have ensured that their guests will be comfortable and staying in a very pleasing environment.
There was a welcoming supply of foodstuffs to start our week and a coffee machine which made very good coffee. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed to have the occasional meal in.
The week we stayed in Acorn Cottage the weather was on the whole bright but quite windy and chilly. So when we came back from a bracing walk along the seafront in Seaton, or wherever else our daily trips took us, we could relax in the lovely lounge and be sure of a good night's sleep in the very comfortable bed. There was an abundance of wardrobe and cupboard space and everything was spotlessly clean.
Anthony made a deliciously light Victoria sponge for us which my wife has been trying to emulate ever since.
We would definitely return.

Our week at Acorn Cottage was just brilliant! On our arrival Ants and Lance gave us such a friendly welcome and showed us the excellent facilities as well as offering suggestions and tips to get the most out of our holiday: during our stay it was lovely to know they were on hand to help if needed while being completely unintrusive of our holiday space.
Acorn Cottage itself is a perfect holiday rental. It's beautifully decorated, light and spacious and so luxuriously comfortable. Ants and Lance have clearly put so much thought and attention to detail into appointing every room - kitchen, bedroom, living room and shower, plus the entrance hall and outside area - with everything one might need to make a holiday carefree and relaxing, kicking off our sojourn with a sophisticated array of edible goodies and Ants' delicious home baked banana/chocolate chip bread in our welcome basket!
Our doggy's needs were also very well catered for and he settled right in after his warm welcome from our hosts.
Acorn Cottage's friendly farming hamlet location of Southleigh made a perfect base for us to explore East Devon and West Dorset; being within easy reach of multiple great eating, walking, and sight-seeing opportunities (with thanks to Ants for the heads-up!). And at the same time, it is wonderfully quiet and private within the beautiful rolling Devon landscape.
We immensely enjoyed our holiday at Acorn Cottage and will recommend it highly to our friends and certainly hope to visit again ourselves: we also consider Acorn Cottage to be excellent value for money.

"Exceptional" is the word we would use to best describe the Acorn Cottage.
Great communication and a very warm welcome from the host. Lovely set of goodies provided on arrival, making a lovely start to our weekend.
The cottage is self contained with top quality appliances, making a comfortable and pleasant stay.
We would highly recommend Acorn Cottage and look forward to returning in the future.

Perfectly thought out decor and well designed facilities go together to make a faultless holiday cottage. Immaculate presentation and cleanliness. Tasty treats left in the kitchen were a welcome surprise. Lovely friendly hosts. Beautiful location which was a great base from which to explore Devon.

We had the most warmest of welcomes from Ants and Lance when we arrived at Acorn Cottage for our week stay in August.
The guys could not have been more hospitable, they gave us so much local information where to visit, where to eat, where to shop even the best driving routes to take which was so helpful.
The cottage is beautiful in every way and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a fridge and basket full of local produce, and the most delicious lemon cake homemade by Ants!
Thankyou again for the most wonderful week.

An incredibly well equipped and elegant cottage in a quiet location. Lance and Ants were excellent hosts, very helpful and friendly. The welcome pack was outstanding and the home made cake was delicious. Their restaurant recommendations were excellent and very helpful for planning trips. Beer and Branscombe are within easy reach and are well worth a visit. We thoroughly recommend the cottage.
