Historic Charm & Modern Upgrades

Keep Cottage Southleigh is a recently renovated country house in a historic building, located in Southleigh Village. The property offers garden views from a terrace and includes a fireplace for cooler evenings. Guests benefit from private check-in/out and free parking on the premises.

Inside the Cottage

The cottage has a duplex layout with a kitchenette on the main floor and a bedroom in the roof area. The main room combines dining and lounge space with two chairs by the patio doors, plus a cupboard stocked with board games and puzzles. All rooms are non-smoking and heated, with key access and smoke alarms for safety.

Tranquil Location

Keep Cottage sits in a quiet rural setting with no traffic noise, only bird songs and a view of hills and fields. It is a 15-minute drive from beaches like Branscombe and Sidmouth, and 26 km from Golden Cap. Despite the narrow lanes, the hotel provides directions to help guests arrive via the wider Sidmouth-Lyme road.

Extra Touches from Hosts

Hosts Bee and Jonathan leave a welcome pack including wine, milk, orange juice, biscuits, and freshly laid eggs from their own hens. The cottage has a guest book with taxi numbers and local tips, and owners are next door for assistance. A remote control fan and lighter duvet sheet are available if the bedding feels too warm.

Outdoor & Safety Amenities

The garden includes a picnic area and outdoor furniture, plus a terrace with garden views that guests can use. CCTV outside the property and fire extinguishers are provided for security. Free fast WiFi allows calls via WhatsApp, helpful because mobile phone signal is unreliable in the valley.
