Littlefields – Cottage familial élégant avec grand jardin & spa, Seaton

Summary:

Beautifully Designed Cottage in Seaside Seaton



For a relaxed, family-friendly coastal escape in Devon, Littlefields is the perfect setting. This beautifully designed open-plan cottage sits in the traditional seaside village of Seaton, a short walk from the town centre, esplanade and beach. From sunny beach days to autumn strolls on the Jurassic Coast or cosy evenings by the fire, Littlefields delivers year-round comfort and character.



The Space:

Originally a farm cottage owned by the same family for nearly a century, Littlefields was renovated in 2020 and reimagined as a bright, modern retreat—perfect for families or groups of friends. Inside, the mood is relaxed, contemporary and welcoming. The stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area is ideal for big family meals, with bi-fold doors extending the living space into the outdoors during warm weather. After a day by the sea, pour a chilled drink on the terrace while the children explore the huge 45-metre garden, or slip into the soothing hydropool spa—a must-have luxury for unwinding.



As evening arrives, light the woodburner and settle in. Littlefields features two beautifully furnished lounges, offering plenty of space for families to spread out. The main lounge seats four comfortably and is perfect for movie nights by the fire, while the second lounge provides a peaceful hideaway for reading, games or quiet relaxation.



Guest Access:

Fresh Escapes will provide in advance details on how to access the property. We also give you an in-depth manual with local recommendations so that you make the most of your stay.



The Neighborhood:

A day out in Seaton means plenty of good, clean fun. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump from Littlefields into the town centre and its pretty beach and esplanade. Spend the morning paddleboarding at the beach – hire all your kit at Seaton Bay Watersports – then head to the Hideaway for a delicious locally sourced lunch. This is a fabulous seaside cafe tucked – as its name suggests – safely away from the more populated main town at the end of the esplanade.



In the afternoon, join Wild East Devon rangers at Seaton Wetlands (a must for nature lovers) for a family fun-packed hour of exploring, discovering wildlife and getting creative. You can also have a personalised guided trail of discovery, well away from any crowds, to behind-the-scenes places where you can feel completely isolated and at ease. One of the most picturesque villages in Devon, Colyton, which provides a wealth of historic buildings and independent shops, is just a 20-minute stroll away.



Littlefields is also an excellent base to explore the Jurassic Coastline and east Devon or Dorset. Seaton is set in a landscape of outstanding natural beauty, and is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Seaton Jurassic, Devon Wildlife Trust’s flagship visitor centre, is a dynamic new attraction that tells the amazing story of the remarkable coastline – a fascinating experience for any budding archaeologists in your party. Further up the coast and worth a visit are Lyme Regis Museum and Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, which have fossil displays and hold fossil walks.



Once you’ve explored the coastline on land, take in the view from the sea with Stuart Line Cruises, based in Exmouth. Gaze at the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, cruise the beautiful River Exe or visit a picture-postcard South Devon town, such as Sidmouth.



Hire traditional wooden self-drive boats and set sail for an hour’s mackerel fishing in Beer – a delightful fishing village, recently named BBC Countryfile’s Best Picnic Spot 2020. Enjoy the view at Ducky’s beach cafe, which does great crab and even ice cream for dogs!



For bright lights and culture, it’s a 35-minute drive to Exeter. Head there for city shopping, restaurants and bars.



Getting Around:

Seaton town centre and the beach are within walking distance from Littlefields. Take the unique Seaton Tramway, which runs open-roofed narrow gauge heritage trams between Seaton, Colyford and Colyton in East Devon's glorious Axe Valley. You’ll travel alongside the River Axe estuary through two nature reserves with unrivalled views of the abundant wading bird life.
