We loved our stay . The cottage was warm and cosy and well equipped. The location was superb with the easy access to the beach and the atmospheric pub a stones throw away. We enjoyed our coastal path and beach walks and our visits to Lyme Regis, Beer, Sidmouth and Seaton. We would definitely stay here again as the property had everything we needed and it felt very home from home. Thank you .

On arrival at 2 smugglers close we were greeted by 2 bottles of wine, tea coffee sugar and biscuits and even milk in the fridge which we thought was a nice touch. The cottage was very spacious and came equipped with everything you could need to make it a home from home. We took our dog and they even supplied a torch for taking her out at night as its very dark. We found the half mile walk to the beach ok but it is up and down some steep hills as most of branscombe is. The roads leading to and from the village are single track and take a bit of getting used to. The masons arms is just a two minute walk away for a nice pint or a meal. There are footpaths all around the village and by the beach there is the SW coastal path leading to Beer and Seaton, which are both lovely. You will find the sea shanty cafe and large car park here and the footpath above is easier to walk than the coastal path. We had a lovely week here and would recommend the cottage and Branscombe to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet.

Great location in the centre of Branscombe and only a short walk to the beach.. Very comfortable property with everything catered for and a very flexible and easy check-in and out.

The cottage was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed, plus more! On arrival we were greeted with beautiful flowers, wine, biscuits and tea/coffee! Our holiday started the moment we turned the key! The location was perfect for long walks in the day and evenings spent by the open fire at The Masons Arms. We would highly recommend this cottage!

Perfect home from home..

The cottage location and atmosphere was worth the drive for two miles down a country lane, On arrival we were made VERY WELCOME after a long journey.. Usually you have to unpack before you can sit back and relax with coffee, tea or even chocolate, it was all here. I will say no more as the biggest surprise is waiting for you when you book this beautiful cottage, add to that the view as you sit in the dining room is something to treasure. Ok no local shop, no mobile phone contact, but surely that last thing will ensure you don`t get pestered with problems you have left behind. There is WI FI if you really need it, but step out of this modern world and just relax in very comfortable beds with the main bedroom giving you views you just want to wake up to. The lovely beach is half a mile along the road with cafe, the Masons Arms a couple of strides frtom the cottage serve good food, but do book before you go, even in September. Our Favourite place has always been Sidmouth with the Connaught Gardens and Cafe, Big Portions here. Don`t forget the friends at the Donkey Sanctuary with its new look and Resturaunt. The beaches and villages of Beer & Seaton well worth a visit and ofcourse Lyme Regis. We visited the Beer Caves, a Cathedral in its own right, you can take pictures but I am glad I bought the video at a cost of £5 as it encompasses the whole experience. Ian & Zoe our hosts could not have given us more. We will be returning to 2 Smugglers cottage in the future Thankyou for a perfect holiday home.

Everything was great and the cottage was fantastic.. The only slight downside was that there was no garden however there was a footpath nearby which led to nice area.

Overall, we were very pleased with the holiday cottage.. The little extra touches such as the flowers and the soap made it different. The welcome pack was most welcome and the extras with the umbrellas and torches showed a lot of thought had gone into the organisation. The only drawback was that the outside steps were very steep. Both my husband and I are in our 60s and my husband has COPD and he found it impossible to carry the cases up the steps so I feel mention should be made of these and perhaps a suggestion that the front door in the first instance would be a better bet. Another older couple had mentioned that an extra grab rail outside the rear porch door would be helpful and we agree as my husband managed to take a tumble down these. It would not, however, stop us renting this cottage again as we would be forearmed. The cottage was beautiful and the views were outstanding. Every morning we would watch the rabbits and pheasants from the bedroom window.

Lovely touches on arrival, fresh flowers, bottles of wine, biscuits, towels beautifully laid out with soap on top, excellent kitchen equipment don't often get sharp cooking knives on holiday.. Very comfortable beds with cotton bedlinen, comfortable, non-plastic settees, the soft furnishings are up to date and very tasteful, no mould around the bathroom fitments - fantastic pub close by, only 10 minutes from the sea front via a lovely off road pathway, I could go on...........
