About this house rental
This period semi-detached holiday cottage overlooks the beautiful Axe Valley and is just one mile from the popular holiday resort of Seaton, on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. It is located in the village of Colyford, which is a situated near the border of East Devon and West Dorset, just 7 miles from Sidmouth and 7 miles from Lyme Regis. The area is a quiet, peaceful location where you can get-away-from-it-all and relax amongst beautiful rolling countryside and lovely beaches. Colyford boasts a well stocked friendly village shop/PO/butcher, just a 5 minute walk, where you can go in for the morning papers and come out with a local pie for lunch and a bottle of wine for the evening. Buy some of the fantastic produce from the butcher for a barbecue in the garden or walk to of the 2 village pubs which both serve food. Bryher is a 5 minute walk to the Seaton Wetlands Centre where you can walk into Seaton and visit the Jurassic centre and ride the Seaton tram. There are plenty of attractions for young and not so young: Pecorama in Beer with its beautiful landscaping around their miniature steam railway is a must day out. Seaton has its own tram which you can see crossing the valley from the vantage point of the garden, you can even drive a tram if you book in advance. Bicton park, Escot and Killerton house all have something to offer and if you come in the autumn there will be a carnival in a Devon village somewhere to experience. Bryher is situated in a beautiful area where you can enjoy the local pleasures of walking the South West Coastal Path, fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, stopping for a fresh crab sandwich on Beer beach or a cream tea in Sidmouth after scouring the antique shops in Honiton for a bargain.

Bryher was an excellent chance find on the internet and we were very comfortable there during our stay. The extremely hot weather could have marred our little break but the breeze coming up off the Corn field made it so much more pleasurable. We will most certainly return to Bryher again for a next break in that area........hopefully soon.Many thanks to StephanieNina, Peter, Jamie and Benji

We stayed in Bryher for only 1 week. Bryher is a wonderful old house in lovely surroundings. The house is well equiped and really comfortable. Out of the window you have a wonderful view to the Seaton marshes. In a few minutes you reach the Natur Reserve with a lot of different birds. There are different little towns close to Colyford. e.g. Beer, Lymes Regis, Seaton, etc. We also visited the big Abbotsbury Swannery and the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. We drived to Durdle Door as well. Colyford has its own butcher and a little shop. In the Pub Wheelwright Inn you get very good food. On Saturday 28th of September we had the opportunity to go to the 40th Medieval Goose Fayre in Colyford. Stephanie and Martin allowed us to stay longer in Bryher to join the Goose Fayre. We enjoyed very much the Goose Fayre. We had a wonderful week in Bryher. Thank you to Stephanie and Martin for wine, milk and cookies when we arrived. Thank you for allowing us to stay longer in Bryher. We will come back to Bryher and Colyford. Regards, Claudia and Wolfhard
