This single-storey cottage is exceptional high quality, with plenty of private parking, a terrace and extensive gardens.
The sitting/dining-room has French windows out onto a lovely terrace for al fresco dining.
Looking along the length of the wide hallway with the kitchen off to the left and the sitting/dining-room straight ahead.
This is the second double bedroom. Very spacious with plenty of fitted wardrobe space and an en suite bathroom.
The stone terrace has beautifully planted borders and French windows from the living-area, lead straight out onto it. You can see the corner of the owner's home next door - The Coach House is on a higher level and tucked behind it.
The Coach House is approached along this private road across the Axe Valley. There are footpaths along the river banks for you to enjoy with your dog.
This is the little harbour at Seaton - your closest beach. There is a delightful cafe on the quayside and a wide pebbled bay.
There is a wonderful wood-burning stove for out-of-season breaks - this is the most welcoming of cottages whatever the time of year.

The Coach House is embraced with beautiful flower borders and has its own beautiful gardens, set within the grounds of a country house. There are a couple of steps down to the front door and then one up.
There are beautiful gardens in a set of terraces, with seating to choose from to enjoy this most peaceful setting.
Another view of the stunningly planted gardens for The Coach House. Stone steps lead from one level to another - a delight to explore.
Also very nearby is the fishing village of Beer - well worth a visit. It is like stepping back in time, with fishing boats drawn up on the beach.
This is the river Axe. You cross the river to reach the Coach House and there are footpaths all along the banks.
A wider view of the fishing village of Beer. Seaton is to the far right of the photo - at the head of the Axe Valley - and just a few miles from The Coach House. This is an excellent stretch of the South West Coast Path.
The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is just a five mile drive away, stretching through east Devon and over the border at Lyme Regis into Dorset. Seaton, the nearest beach, is in the distance.
Lyme Regis, such a wonderful iconic town, is a very short drive from The Coach House. Whatever the time of year this is a great place to visit.
Sidmouth is one of the many delightful coastal towns in east Devon. This pebbled beach has plenty of sand at low tide.

The Coach House is in a spectacular location. Cloakham House was once the home of the maker of Axminster carpets, and the Coach House forms part of that. It has been furnished with great style and comfort in mind, just what you want for a great escape to the country....

We could not fault the Coach House in any way. It was warm and comfortable with absolutely everything we needed. The gardens are beautiful and a visit from a deer one morning really made our day! We wouldn’t hesitate to return again to such a peaceful place....

We had a superb tranquil and relaxing 9 days break in January, weather was cold but cottage was warm and cosy, with the log burner. Furnishings were exceptionally comfortable and the entire cottage was well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Host was available and attentive on the one occasion he was required. The location is perfect for walks and with easy access by car to the coast and local attractions. The website photos do not do justice to the house and grounds....

We had a pleasant stay at the Coach House. Thought had been put into the furnishings and decorative ornaments made the house feel homely. It was clean and welcoming.
