Description
Orchid Cottage, although recently refurbished, dates back to the 19th Century when it was part of the building that comprising the Axmouth village post office and stores. It nestles in a valley with steep inclines providing field and woodland views from the front and rear of the house.
Orchid cottage is a spacious 3 bedroom, with occassional 4th bedroom, end of terrace property that can comfortably accommodate 6 people. It is elegantly presented with good quality furnishings and is cosy and warm in colder months with modern efficient central heating and good insulation through the majority of the cottage. With its deceptively spacious interior and its flexible accommodation Orchid Cottage is suitable for a variety of guest groups including families, and groups of friends or relatives. It will appeal to those that appreciate a clean and tidy property and place this high on their list of requirements. In this regard we request that outside footwear not be worn inside the cottage.
The large living room has two leather sofas and an antique leather chair, with an electric fire-effect heater for cosy evenings. The large kitchen/diner has a large dining table with six chairs and a folding chair for an occasional seventh person. The family bathroom is upstairs off the landing. There is a large upstairs master bedroom with double bed, double wardrobe and en-suite shower room/WC. A further upstairs double bedroom with double wardrobe, and an upstairs twin bedroom with small wardrobe. The occasional 4th bedroom/snug room is located downstairs with a dual purpose single day bed. Orchid Cottage is well equipped with modern and high quality appliances. In the living room there is a wireless broadband router, DAB radio//iPhone dock/CD/ Bluetooth Hi Fi, Samsung 40" LED TV and Blu-ray/DVD player. The kitchen is equipped with a large fridge/freezer, a washing machine, an electric double oven and hob, microwave oven and toaster. A iron and board and two hairdryers are provided. There is also a DAB radio/clock/iPhone/iPod dock in the master bedroom. Our own informal written guide of places to visit, that we regularly update, is available for guests to read and we try to maintain a selection of local interest and guide books as a reference library. We hope that this will help guests to make the most of their holidays.
An outside patio to the rear with seating for 6 people and the private back garden is decoratively planted to provide colour and interest throughout the year. There is ample parking both on street and an allocated space behind the property. A children's play area is located a short walk along the quiet lane that passes the front of the cottage.
