Otters Corner

This thatched cottage sits on a quiet lane at the edge of Branscombe, a short walk from the village pub. A stable door opens into a hallway with storage and hanging space, along with a utility room fitted with cloakroom facilities separate from the main shower room.

The ground floor is arranged as an L-shaped lounge, dining and kitchen space, warmed by a wood burner set into an inglenook fireplace. The kitchen area has an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, so self-catering for two is straightforward. A carpeted staircase leads up to the sole bedroom, a king-size room with painted beams, sloping ceilings and garden views, next to a shower room with a walk-in shower.

Outside, a private courtyard-style garden lies opposite the cottage, furnished with a table, chairs, parasol and sun lounger for meals or quiet time outdoors. Parking is available on site for one car, and one dog is welcome to stay, with bowls and blankets left ready; additional charges may apply for dogs.

There is no mobile signal at the property, so anyone needing to stay connected should plan accordingly, and guests are asked to bring their own beach towels. With one bedroom and a maximum of two guests, this cottage suits a couple looking for a quiet base near the coast rather than a larger group.
