About this property
Keeling is a stylish, terraced cottage close to the beach in Exmouth, Devon. With three bedrooms sleeping up to six guests, the cottage welcomes a family of six with excellent amenities, thoughtful décor and easy access to Devon's gorgeous coast. Step inside where a spacious, attractive sitting room welcomes you into your home-from-home after the day's adventures; sink into the cushioned sofas, start the electric fire for added comfort and choose the evening's entertainment on the Smart TV. Follow the hard wooden floors into the kitchen/diner to set the rustic table ready for dinner, which can be rustled up in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a washing machine and dishwasher for your convenience. When it's time to retire, climb the stairs and pour in the bubbles for a relaxing soak in the tub, before catching your rest in one of three bedrooms; the king-size and double have been furnished with great attention to detail, whilst the bunk bed welcomes two younger guests. Start your day with a hot cup of coffee in your own private garden to plan out the day's agenda! Why not start it with a refreshing swim at the indoor pool in Exmouth's Leisure Centre just down the road? You'll have a range of shops, pubs and restaurants right on your doorstep, whilst Exmouth's attractions include the town's museum, a bustling promenade to stop for ice cream by the sea or take a stroll or cycle along the River Exe.

You have a lovely home that worked extremely well for us overall. Everyone including the kids had a great time and loved the house. Although a little further from the beach than we would usually choose, it is super convenient for town, the train station and pretty much everywhere. Whilst not the peak time of year for it, the outside space was great, and as we had brought a couple of bikes, it was great to be able to store them in the shed out of the weather. Thanks for a great stay, we really enjoyed it.

Really great location near the train station and a short walk to all amenities, beach, etc. The house was impeccably clean and comfortable, and had lots of nice little touches - we really enjoyed the bedtime story in the children's room! Would definitely stay again.
