Cottage holiday rentals in Axminster

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Surridge Cottage is beautiful, as soon as we arrived down the lane we knew it would be perfect and it was and more. The cottage has been beautifully restored with high end finishes. Even the heated floor in the bathroom didn't go missed (my daughter loved it). Great location, we took a few trips out. Went into Lyme Regis and took the children to Crealy. If you want a private country break in a cottage, you won't beat it. Thank you, The Mellors x

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

A really lovely home. Just like the photos and had a wonderful stay. Hosts were great at responding to questions. Will definitely revisit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The place is exactly as described, a very cosy little cottage with everything you need. Everywhere was clean and tidy apart from general dust you’d expected, with a lovely little basket of treats left for us on arrival. Check in was self done, flexible, and smooth, same with leaving. Lovely little village, a couple of local pubs within walking distance, lovely cafe just next door along with some very friendly ducks, chickens, lambs, goats and the occasional cat. Would absolutely stay here again and 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cosy and quiet get away. During our stay we explored Cheddar, Glastonbury and Frome, all within an hours drive and lots of lovely cafes and independent shops.

Amy's cottage is an amazing find if you're looking for a Somerset getaway. The place itself is beautiful and perfectly kitted out - especially if you have kids, with crockery, cutlery, a high chair and not to mention the wonderful assortment of games. The hot tub outside under the stars is an added bonus and one you should take up as it was a great way to wind down in the evenings. And Amy was the perfect host - friendly, knowledgeable with her guidebook, and highly responsive. Would definitely recommend her cottage and hope to visit again!

had a lovely weekend, the cottage was so beautiful, felt magical! everything you need is there, is was comfortable and clean. the local area is also lovely, great walks and little village. will definitely be back.

Our family of five, which includes three adult children, thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Nest. It is as pictured and described and spotlessly clean. We stayed for 3 nights, which included a wedding at a nearby venue, spending time in all the different areas of the cottage, and going for a lovely circular walk from the door. Many thanks Sarah

Our third stay here, still as amazing as ever! we brought my parents along this time and they loved it as much as we did! Always spotlessly clean & tidy! A lovely touch on arrival to recieve Prosecco, milk & biscuits, just what you need after a long drive 😊. Anna is so warm and welcoming, absolutely no issues and always on hand & quick to respond if you need anything! Will hopefully be back again next year!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage over Christmas. Glenda gave great directions and check in instructions, with dinning recommendations. She was very helpful throught the stay. The cottage was perfect, it was exactly as the photos, stylish, welcoming and luxurious. We didn't want to leave. Glenda had also gone the extra mile with lots of fabulous touches. We felt so welcome and the were overwhelmed with the gorgeous Christmas decorations, a lovely surprise. It was also well appointed, so many thoughtful details. We loved the butter dishes, lamps and artwork. Everything was very considered, clean and comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. Great location and brilliant pizzas at the pub, just a walk away. There was a little park for the boys and the local shop in the neighbouring village was well stocked. We loved it and would love to stay again. Fantastic break, thank you so much. The perfect cottage escape.

Loved our stay here. We were a group of 4 friends and the accommodation was perfect. Had a problem with kitchen tap which Phil got a plumber to fix right away so we had water. Great house.. views from a couple of the bedrooms of sea.. loved Charmouth..found fossils on the beach, ate at the pub and enjoyed the Palmers ale goodlocal walks and on a rainy day had a fun afternoon in Bridport. Like to stay here again!

Had a wonderful solo stay with my dog at Dawn’s place. The cottage was cozy, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. Great local walks right from the door, a friendly dog-welcoming pub nearby, and a real sense of peace. Felt safe and relaxed the whole time —would absolutely return. Thanks for having us Dawn!

What a fabulous stay, couldn't have asked for better. Such a tranquil village and the cottage was idyllic, hearing the birds and church bells and nothing more. Just what we needed. The garden was perfect for our little girl and the dog to play football and had all you need to eat nicely alfresco, as the kitchen opens out. The pub is quite something, a truly quaint village pub and we had a lovely meal there one night. Def recommend. Alison was a lovely and helpful host and had all the information we needed. Thank you for letting us stay to unwind, we will be back. Just wonderful!

My wife, myself our son and his dog stayed at Hollys place Thur to Sun. We know the area and Bridport very well. This was our first time at Hollys place and it was the most peaceful and quiet place to stay. To be staying in the middle of the town yet in such a quiet setting was perfect for us. The weather was nice so we had dinner in the garden. Its a short walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants so all good. Hoping Holly keeps the cottage available for future stays!

This is a cosy and charming property, which is tastefully furnished and contained everything you could possibly need (including delicious flapjack!). The area is rural, and perfect for complete rest and relaxation. Melanie was a perfect host - very friendly, relaxed and helpful. We would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Katy’s place. It was so very peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Having the enclosed courtyard was invaluable, as I was alone some days with the dogs and it meant I didn’t have to worry about where they were, as it was totally secure and private. The kitchen facilities were everything I needed for cooking, the property was spotless and relaxing and of high quality throughout. Walking from the door up the lane to the woods was fabulous with the dogs. And the homemade scones on arrival were amazing. Thank you Katy for a wonderful stay.

This is exactly what Airbnb should be like. Karen’s place is a home away from home, was spotlessly clean, had everything we could possibly need and was great value for money. Karen was extremely helpful and friendly, welcoming us and providing us with lots of ideas of things to do in the area. The kitchen was well thought out with everything a guest would need for a trip away, and there was even a bottle of prosecco in the fridge which made us really feel like we were on holiday. The house is beautiful and really nicely decorated - beds were comfy, bathroom was perfect - we couldn’t fault it. Sign of a good Airbnb? We didn’t want to go home!

A lovely place to stay within walking distance of some great restaurants and shops. The thoughtful touches were really appreciated and the lodge had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at this cottage! The hosts are super friendly and respond very quickly, which made everything extra easy. The cottage is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos—truly a gem. It’s wonderfully peaceful, right in the middle of nature, so you can really unwind. And it was spotless, which we really appreciated. In short, highly recommended if you’re looking to relax in a beautiful and quiet spot. We’ll definitely be coming back when we visit the area again!

Rabbit cottage was a home from home, beautifully presented, super clean and tidy and smelt amazing. Super close to shops and parking was not a problem. Chip shop was a must and the town was so cute with lots of quirky shops. The little extra thought with bread and milk was great as we arrived in the evening and from a far, so a quick cuppa was what was needed. Would 100% stay again, highly recommend!

This was our second holiday in Paul and Julie’s wonderful cottage. The property is very spacious, extremely well equipped and in a lovely location. Just a few minutes walk from Charmouth beach, good pubs, shops, cafes and lovely walks, it makes a perfect base for a family holiday. We love the balcony leading from the main bedroom with its great views and the outdoor eating space under the pergola. Paul and Julie are extremely friendly and helpful and have thought of everything you might need in the cottage ….plus a few delicious treats on arrival! We would highly recommend the property for anyone thinking of visiting lovely Charmouth.

We booked a last minute mini break to Bluebell grey, enjoying visits to the beach during the day followed by relaxed evenings back at the cottage playing badminton and boules in the garden. As the evening light faded we settled down inside the cosy cottage with a gin and tonic or two playing cards around the table, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Michael for being so responsive with our last minute booking and for being so accommodating with an earlier check in time and equally relaxed with a later departure time. I will hold that lovely evening view across the fields in my memory. Thank you

Don’t think twice about staying at Jess’ cottage. We had a fabulous 2 night stay for a birthday getaway, we were welcomed with birthday treats! Thank you Jess! My two boys didn’t want to leave, a beautiful outside space for them to run with swings and lots to occupy them inside (Lego, DVDs & a train set) Short drives to popular beaches such as Lyme Regis. It’s very clean, immaculate beds. It felt like home! We cannot wait to return.

Nancy was an amazing host, a truly kind person and extremely friendly. I’d recommend staying to anyone! Thank you Nancy !
