A full year on Airbnb already! That has gone so fast. It's been busier than we'd hoped and we've met some fab people. Long may it last!

Still beautiful, even in the mist

Even when you cannot see more than 100 metres it’s still lovely to walk in the Blackdown Hills and spot signs of spring.
A warm welcome at The Catherine Wheel in Hemyock for a spot of lunch helps with the walk back.

Spring was definitely in the air this evening. Perfect weather for a little three mile stroll around the neighbourhood 🤩

Perfect location for a sunny November Sunday afternoon stomp. A cliff top walk along the coast path from Lyme Regis followed by a late lunch in The Cobb Arms which serves food all day, even on a Sunday. Perfect for those of us who like to make the day up as we go along.

Such a pleasure to host Billy, Louie and Kerry on Saturday. Lovely people with beautiful voices.

The quiet country roads and beautiful scenery make walking around our area an absolute pleasure, particularly on a crisp sunny day.

Crazy and wonderful that the centuries old tradition of Tar Barrel rolling in Ottery St Mary is still permitted. Only a 30 min drive from our cottages so perfect if you want to experience something different on Bonfire Night. There's a lively and friendly atmosphere, easy parking, plenty of food and drink stalls, plus a fun fair and bonfire. Such a great night!
