This is the scene that will greet you on arrival. Stunning!
Mount Pleasant Lodge is in a glorious setting with delightful, beautifully maintained gardens to enjoy.
The spacious kitchen/dining-room looks out over the gardens. The stairs in the corner lead to the living-room.
The extremely well-equipped kitchen is set at the far end of the dining-room. The utility-room is through the door to the right of the picture.
The main bedroom has plenty of space and a luxurious king-size bed.
This is the start of the Jurassic Coast at Sidmouth, a short drive from the other side of Honiton.
This is the view from the front of the Lodge - there are doors to the gardens from both the kitchen/dining-room and the living-room.
Cooking up a treat for friends and family is a pleasure in this lovely contemporary kitchen.
This really is just the place for an elegant dinner to celebrate your holiday.
Another view of the main bedroom.
You will be tempted to have a long lie in in this comfortable room.
The en suite wet-room is down a couple of steps from the main bedroom.
This is the other double bedroom, just as calming and comfortable as the master.
There is a door to the patio so you can lie in bed, and let the fresh morning air and the sound of birdsong in.
You will start each day relaxed and refreshed.
The newly refurbished bathroom is stunning.
A super spacious and modern bathroom awaits. Perfect for unwinding in after a full day of adventure.
The living-room has a choice of wonderfully comfortable reclining chairs, with a wood-burning stove for out-of-season evenings.
There is also a private sheltered area at the side of the Lodge. It is quite a suntrap. This area can be enclosed if you wish.
What a fabulous spot to enjoy a glass of something tasty.
More treats to make the most of your stay here.
Mount Pleasant Lodge has the most amazing gardens for guests to enjoy, stretching out right in front of it.
This is the pathway to the entrance for Mount Pleasant Lodge. Beautiful plants in pots, a little herb garden and the secluded patio around the far corner.
The pond and wildlife within are breathtaking.
An abundance of wildlife and activity can be enjoyed in this beautiful spot.
The fish are bursting with colour and activity.
A truly magical setting for a walk or a picnic on a sunny day, or even a wintery one!
Bursts of colour roam free throughout these beautiful gardens.
The gardens are bordered with trees, and there are ancient woodlands on the doorstep too.
There are many tranquil and tucked-away private places for you to sit in the gardens.
Some friendly faces!
Killerton House is the nearest National Trust property, with lovely gardens and the 800 acre Ashclyst Forest to explore.
Cadhay House near Ottery St Mary, close to Honiton, is an incredible privately owned historic house and gardens that are open to the public on bank holiday weekends.
Budleigh Salterton is another lovely little coastal town on the Jurassic Coast.

Lovely spacious cottage, very clean, warm and comfortable. It was a real pleasure to stay there. The owners are very accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful break in a nice area. Plenty of walks through the woods from the door. The only complaint I have is that I didn't want to leave. ...

Our holiday was an excellent one.It was the 15th time or so that we stayed in a cottage in the english countryside after a few dozen holidays camping in England,Scotland and Wales. It was one of our best holidays ever.A beautiful cottage with everything in it..A very good location in the middle of the East Devon /Black Down Hills areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.Very friendly and helpful hosts who were there when we needed them.We stayed for 4 weeks enjoying every day of it. Excellent place for Birdwatching .We could see ao the coal tit and the Great spotted Woodpecker.Walking in ancient woodland just a few hundred yards from the cottage.Honiton with his supermarkets and nice shops and restaurants is just a 20 minutes ride. Bigger towns like Exeter and Taunton are ideal for Christmas shopping.Places on the Jurassic coast like Branscombe and Sidmouth are just a half hour drive and we enjoyed our visits there in the second half of November ! An excellent holiday! On our departure Jill and Terry surprised us with a beautiful cake .....which we will eat with Christmas. Jaap and Heleen Simonse ,Middelburg ,The Netherlands....

Mount Pleasant Lodge is a very well appointed cottage just far enough away from the main road to be quiet and restful while only a half hour drive from the south Devon coast. Our boys enjoyed exploring the extensive gardens and watching the varied wildlife passing through. It really felt like home from home. Terry and Gill, the owners who live next door to the cottage are the perfect hosts. Warm and friendly, happy to have a chat but never intrusive. You are made to feel at home the moment you arrive and the little extras they provide, the freshly baked loaf, milk in the fridge and eggs from the chickens in the garden are the icing on the cake, and with regards to the Lemon Drizzle cake, very tasty icing it is too. Worth every penny and we will certainly visit again in the future....
