The cottage Dalmose was perfect for us and 3 dogs with a lovely large garden. It was very clean and well looked after and formed a fantastic base for local visits. Dalmose is extremely comfortable with lovely king size beds which were extremely comfortable, including very comfortable pillows. Hence we slept really well. We visited Lyme Regis and Sidmouth both 15 - 20 minutes drive away. We spent a day on the tramways which was just a 5 minutes walk to Seaton Tramways station. Seaton beach is just 5/6 minutes walk from the cottage as are the local shops including an Aldi. The local pub is dog friendly too. When we arrived we struggled to initially find the cottage and then to get the car on the drive as the road was quite busy around 4pm. However, there was free parking on Meadow Road a side road just opposite the cottage where we managed to find free parking daily. We would definitely book the Dalmose again.

Great place to spend a week, ideal for hoping around South Devon and Dorset. If you have kids then Lyme Regis is a must and only a short drive (Cobb car park on the beach before 9 to get a space), The tramway in Seaton is well worth the trip and the best restaurant is Le Pisani (try the pizza and waffles). The house is a short walk to the beach, comfortable, clean with a big garden. We had a great week and will be back for a third stay soon.
