About this cottage rental
Waterfall Cottage was renovated in 2015. The property is set in its own grounds on the outskirts of the village. It has 3 bedrooms, a king size, a double and 2 singles which are only accessible through the Master bedroom so ideal for little ones. For this reason we recommend the cottage for 4 adults and 2 children.
The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, dining room and cosy snug with Smart TV for cosy nights in front of the log burner or alternatively BBQ on the terrace on a summers evening and soak up the tranquility of the area. The garden has raised levels along one side so toddlers will need a watchful eye on them which you can do whilst relaxing in the hammock.
We accept one well behaved dog with prior consent. We request that pets aren't allowed on the furniture or upstairs at the property.

A short break in halftime term - lovely location and a beautiful house. Peaceful for us all as a family to relax in and use as a base for day trips out to a whole host of locations nearby. Look forward to coming back!

We had another fantastic stay at Waterfall cottage in Dalwood, thank you Tracey. The property was great for our family, nice and cosy, and had everything we needed. Loads of good places/beaches to visit within a 20 minute drive or so, whilst we also enjoyed the delights of Dalwood including a superb dinner at the Tuckers Arms. No doubt we will be back visiting again soon!

We had a very good holiday at the cottage. It was even more beautiful then the pictures showed. It is very tranquil, surrounded by meadows and a nice creek, but with the village easily in distance. Contact with the owners was very pleasant! Our children were sad to leave (especially their own gaming room with all the games available).
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Just as advertised. A beautiful kept property with lots of charm! The setting is secluded and you will have to negotiate some narrow country lanes but it’s worth it. We had a very comfortable stay with my our young children and my parents- the shared door bathroom with bedrooms wasn’t a problem for us. Stairs are very steep but the children learnt to handle them safely. They loved the trampoline and hammock outside! And the games room was a fun extra place to explore. Local pub serves delicious food and the local play park is delightful (4 mins drive) We enjoyed the old fashioned trams at Seaton and the nearby wildlife park with lots of animals. Tracey was a brilliant host.

Really the finest rental property we’ve stayed in. Setting, aesthetics, equipment level, comfort … all fabulous. We already re-booked for ourselves, our 2 year old and our little dog to return in August for 11 nights. Particular highlights were the extensive garden with hammock and trampoline, the family-friendly layout of the cottage which stays beautifully cool on hot days, and views of the hillsides. Thanks to Tracey, booking and arriving were a pleasure.

We had a 5-night stay at Waterfall Cottage and it was fantastic. The inside and outside space worked brilliantly for us, as a group consisting of 3 generations (oldest 72 and youngest 4 years old!)
The cottage had space for us to live and play, whilst remaining cosy too. We all enjoyed the garden, which was especially great for an Easter egg hunt.
The location really worked for us as well, wonderful views, passing horses and cattle to look out for. We did a circular walk appropriately ending up at the pub in the village.
It's also great for accessing local places of interest- we spent a day at the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, and also completed some junior parkrun tourism in Axminster.
My 8 year old son loved the games room- this is a lovely additional space for relaxing. And both children enjoyed the sunken trampoline and the hammock!
The cottage is well equipped for a family trip- it seems like everything has been thought of. Tracey was welcoming and helpful in all our communications.
I would recommend staying at this cottage and I would happily return to this idyllic spot.

We had a very lovely, simple family break in this very welcoming cottage. Once the teens and young adults had got used to the etiquette of a “jack and Jill” bathroom we all settled into this very relaxed but functional space with ease. The kitchen was very well furnished for self catering evenings. Local pub and community run shop/ post office within a short walk (7 mins max). Even with it lashing down with November rain outside, the well stocked wood burners glowed and staved off any chill. Lots of great places to visit nearby too.

We had the most magical week at Waterfall Cottage. My husband and I and our two little girls were there for October half term and it was so much more special than we could have imagined. Arriving at the house it feels like something from a book - just a walk away from the village but felt like we were in our own little world. We had a very friendly pig in the field behind the house and some gorgeous cows and calves at the end of the garden.
The house itself had everything you could need, plus two wood burners which we made the most of even though the house was lovely and warm. Well equipped kitchen and lots of super kids books, games and puzzles. The layout of the house (twin bedroom accessed through the master and the upstairs bathroom between the two doubles) was clear in the description and worked for us, prob best for families or those v familiar with each other.
It’s such a good base to explore the area and loads to do - we really enjoyed the beaches at Branscombe, Seaton, Charmouth (where we all had a dip in the sea!), Beer and Lyme Regis, we did the tram ride from Seaton which was great fun, the Axe Valley wildlife park just down the road (the zebras, flamingoes and ostriches were particular highlights!), Millers Farm shop, River Cottage (we didn’t eat there but the menu looked good!), and some of the surrounding villages/towns.
Tracey was a fab host, gave us all the info we needed, was quick to respond and super helpful.

The location is fantastic, we were so thrilled when we arrived. It was heaven for our nature loving kids. Playing in the stream in front of the house and jumping on the trampoline for hours.
Waterfall cottage would have really been perfect, had it not been for the absolute terrible cleaning of especially the kitchen and the bathroom. It was horrible.
We sent Tracey a text about it and sent her the photos I took. She responded quickly and apologised multiple times. We were offered a family meal on their costs. That was ofcourse very nice, but the uncleanliness of the cottage affected our whole stay. It made us not feel at home as a clean house would have done.
If the house were clean we would definitely recommend it very much!

What a place to stay. Absolutely beautiful setting. Local pub not far and close enough to the beaches for those wanting water based activities. If taking bookings for next year we would definitely go back as still so much to explore.

Waterfall Cottage is picture perfect and immaculately presented, with the bonus of a great games room. The setting nestled in the hills with barely another house in view and river a few meters down the lane adds to the special feel. Enjoyed equally by all our 7-71 year old party.

We had a lovely stay in waterfall cottage. All information prior to our arrival was excellent and measures have been taken to ensure that it was Covid safe. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy and situated in a quiet village with a short walk to a nice pub. We made full use of the log burner which was lovely and cosy in the evenings! There’s a lovely park up the road which the kids loved!Could not fault the place.
