Luxurious but homely, with every convenience you could possibly need. For a real taste of Devon take the local bus to Beer !

A really peaceful setting with easy access to beaches by foot or by car. Plenty of space inside and out for family groups of all ages. A treasure of a cottage to find.
Mrs Craig May 2022
Don’t look anywhere else ! Barnell cottage is both high spec 5 star luxury within a Beatrix Potter setting 5-10 mins walk from the beautiful beach next to the Jurassic coast . The dogs had the best time playing in the stunning garden whilst bemused cows munched over the fence . Each day we would go out for an adventure and then rush back to the cottage and relax in the glass conservatory Snug and have a glass of Prosecco whilst the fire was roaring . It’s the best combination of a beautiful property within a stunning backdrop . GO!!! ...

We loved our stay at Barnell Cottage ~ a really delightful place. A very cosy and comfy cottage. We very much appreciated too the kind welcome pack of biscuits tea/coffee and milk on arrival. The garden was also ideal for relaxing in and enjoying some bbq cooking and the dogs loved it too. Branscombe is a pretty village and we certainly got used to some hilly walks. Lots of lovely walks and areas to explore. The Mason’s Arms was also lovely for some suppers. We all had a great time there and would certainly recommend the cottage and Classic Cottages. ...
