Colyton is a small medieval town and is about 10 minutes inland from the coast and just a short drive from the rural villages of Colyford, Musbury and Whitford in east Devon. There is a good selection of local shops, a handful of pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, plus an antiques centre and art gallery. There is also a fascinating church, peaceful riverside walks, play areas and the tram service to the coast at Seaton. This lovely part of east Devon is close to the Dorset border with Lyme Regis just 7 miles away. Explore Seaton Wetlands and enjoy beautiful marshland and reedbeds alongside the river Axe. There are five bird hides and approximately 4 km of level trails and boardwalks suitable for wheelchair, bike and pushchair. A countryside haven home to an abundance of wildlife. By taking the tram from Colyton to Seaton this will take you through to Colyford, The Wetlands and into Seaton.
Nearby is the market town of Axminster where you can visit the River Cottage Canteen. Honiton is also well worth a visit, with some lovely cafés to enjoy after browsing in the antiques shops. The popular coastal villages of Beer and Branscombe are also close by and the cathedral city of Exeter is another good day out. This wonderful stretch of east Devon coastline has a chain of pretty fishing villages and traditional seaside towns such as Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. Crossing the border into Dorset, just a few miles away is Lyme Regis with the famous Cobb harbour and a lovely sandy beach. Beach 4 miles. Shop and restaurant ¾ mile, pub 1 mile.

Didn’t want to go home! 😊
One of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in! Fabulous accommodation with lovely welcoming hosts, we had plenty of space for our 2 families, large comfy living room with plenty of seating for everyone and cosy log burning stove, kitchen fully kitted out made cooking for 8 hungry bellies a breeze, very comfortable beds, kids enjoyed seeing the chickens, geese and sheep, and to top it off it was perfectly located to explore all the glorious sights the Jurassic coast has to offer. Only issue was the 7 days went too quickly!

Fantastic!
Brian and Margaret were spectacular hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they ensured our time with them was nothing short of perfect. The barn is beautiful; tastfully decorated, extremely well kitted out and very spacious. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen a pleasure to cook in and the outside seating area perfect for al fresco dining. The utility room with an additional fridge and washing machine plus storage for drinks was a huge bonus, and the use of beach gear and children's outdoor toys a lovely added touch. The farm is well situated, offering the benefit of country living while being close to many nearby attractions. We weren't short of things to do throughout the week. The generous welcome basket and tipple was such a treat, whilst the bird life and beautiful gardens made for the icing on the cake. The cot and high chair plus toys for our infant were perfect, we honestly wanted for nothing throughout our stay. Margaret and Brian have thought of everything, making for a home away from home experience we can highly recommend!
