There is a fabulous 2 mile long sandy beach and Exmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The town has got quite a reputation now for its restaurants, (many which are within walking distance of Laurel Cottage) Mitch Tonks recently opened a new branch of Rockfish on the sea front and Michael Caines has opened has a luxury hotel with Fine Dining in nearby Lympstone plus there is the fantastic River Cafe which is situated out of the river and is accessible bywater taxi from the Marina.

Well equipped house in convenient location, we didn’t use the car all week as everything is nearby, nice garden to relax in, comfy beds.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was as described. Perfectly comfortable for a family of 4 for a short break. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. It was surprisingly very quiet, even though it was a terrace. With two teenagers a second bathroom/toilet would have been a bonus and parking around the location was quite a challenge as our car was too big to fit in the parking space. We did think our car would be too big, so to be fair we expected to have to find a parking alternative when we read the description. The location was really good as you could walk everywhere you needed to. It was great to be able to get the train to Exeter for a day out. I would recommend this house and we would be happy to stay again if we visit the area.

Laurel cottage from 68 yr old view
Good communication with agents. Collection of front door key a short walk to pub. Back entrance by key box.
Back garden nicely enclosed for our Westie dogs. House located close to the town and seafront making it ideal for walking. Moving the car more difficult as on road parking hard to find but parking at rear of house available for one small car as advertised. All facilities available in the house I describe as comfortable not luxurious.

Lovely property
Laurel cottage was a beautifully presented property approx five mins from the heart of Exmouth. Parking in Exmouth is terrible (we have a people carrier so couldn't park at the property) but I was able to park all week next to the train station in the long stay for £25 which was just under ten mins walk from the cottage. Bedrooms were very nice and spacious.

A well presented house (n need of tlc).
Cleanliness of property was poor. A number of issues were reported to the local agents. Also reported included broken window catch and leaking toilet with chain becoming disconnected.

Beautiful property by the seaside
We had a lovely stay at Laurel Cottage. It had everything we needed to for a comfortable stay. The cottage itself is beautiful with stylish furniture. We particularly enjoyed sitting out in the garden, which was a safe enclosed space for us to let our dog out in to. The cottage is really close to shops and the beach, a perfect location.

Great location, lovely house
Great location, lovely clean house. Parking was a bit of a nightmare out the front, and the space out the back was tight. But overall a great experience.

Beautiful character home.
Thank you Kate and Laura for a wonderful stay in Laurel Cottage. Your home is very well appointed and has a great location for exploring the south coast of Devon. Parking space is a little tight, but there is plenty of on street parking in the surrounding area and a handy map of where this all is!
Thanks again for a great stay
