Follow your nose to our Axminster holiday cottages and a foodie’s heaven awaits. For it is here in recent years, that celebrity chef cum produce do-gooder Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has made his name and his home.
A few miles inland from lovely Lyme Regis but across the border into east Devon, Axminster is awash with contemporary food vibes and ancient market town composure. While tourists and foodies alike are drawn to the River Cottage Local Produce Store & Canteen, eyes fall around and about on Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian traits in the buildings. And your Axminster holiday home might nurture anyone of them.
Beyond the town, appreciate its setting on the River Axe within an AONB and the Jurassic coast on the doorstep. Walks, wildlife and bird watching opportunities abound along the tributaries of the river, the Axe estuary and the East Devon Way. While cyclists lap up the Buzzard Route track.
