Jacketts is an old cob farmhouse in a fantastic location on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Otterton that lies between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. Now divided into two cottages Jacketts 2 makes a deceptively spacious and well appointed home away from home. It has a delightful Conservatory, ideal for those lazy breakfasts while the combined sitting/dinning has an Inglenook with modern gas log burner to warm any chilly nights. There is a brand new kitchen with an induction cooktop & electric oven. The freezer is a good size so you can stock up with locally delivered âCookâ meals if you want a rest from cooking. Clearing up is made easy with the dishwasher. Upstairs the double bedroom has a lovely antique solid oak bed originally from Fineshade Abby and a modern semi ensuite shower room. The twin bedroom has its own charm with more antique furniture. For a candle lit bath or the practicality of bathing the children the bonus of a downstairs bathroom gives that added flexibility. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring the East Devon coast with fantastic local walks along the cliffs and nearby river while for the children there is everything from sandy beaches to adventure parks. Cyclists & birdwatchers will love the countryside surrounding this delightful Cottage. This is picture postcard country and the ideal holiday home!
Eating out: The nearest place to eat out is just a few hundred yards away at Otterton Mill. This a working mill where you can see the grain being milled before buying the freshly baked bread or other local delights. The mill has an excellent licenced restaurant for lunch or afternoon tea, as well as a gallery and gift shop where the hidden talent of some of our local artists can be seen. The local pub is also very good but in the next village of East Budleigh there are two excellent pubs for food. In nearby Sidmouth there are a variety of modern wine bars, great restaurants and several old traditional pubs to choose from. Tearooms for the essential 'Devon cream tea' are too numerous to mention and in Budleigh Salterton you can find some of the best Ice cream in Devon.

We loved how convenient the cottage is for walks along the River Otter and South West Coast path. Very friendly community shop for all basic needs. We enjoyed being able to sit in the small courtyard garden.
This cottage suited our needs perfectly. We especially like the small conservatory where we could simply sit and relax in the quiet.There was the added bonus of a heatwave.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Loved the garden room and the outside courtyard. Otterton is an excellent location for visiting the surrounding areas with lots of good walks and reliable bus services. Access to the off-road parking space is quite tight especially with the number of parked cars on the road. Would love to visit again.
Old Farmhouse in lovely and historic village near Budleigh Salterton
Part of old farmhouse in Otterton. Great location for exploring the area with easy walks to SouthWest Coastal Path, local pub, working mill and Budleigh. Double and Twin bedrooms plus shower on top floor, spacious living area and well equipped kitchen plus second bathroom on ground floor. Conservatory and patio garden for sunny days. We had a great time.
We had a lovely 3 night stay in 2, Jacketts.
We would definitely stay again. Clean and cosy with very welcome milk and biscuits.
Lovely area with so much to see and do.
Thanks! Liz
Nice location. Lots of information provided on things to do locally including reading material that was relevant to the area.
Property had everything needed for a comfortable stay including easy to understand instructions for where to find what was needed in the cottage ie drying racks, keys, etc.
Loved the conservatory and the little garden.
Jacketts 2 is a homelike and relaxing property, set in an interesting village and close to many enjoyable amenities. The cottage is comfortable, attractive and well-equipped, and the conservatory adds a special touch.
