Turnpike Cottage

Charming and unusual, this cosy circular thatched toll cottage lies just half a mile from Chard in the Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Situated on the Chard to Honiton road, the cottage has been lovingly restored and enjoys stunning views, and is ideally placed for exploring Somerset's many attractions and Dorset's Heritage coastline.

Visitors enjoy use of a beach hut (Apr – Oct) at Beer just 15 miles away and Lyme Regis' sandy beach. Sidmouth, National Trust properties, Minehead and Exmoor are all easily accessible. Pubs, restaurants and shops ½ mile.

"We have had a lovely time at Turnpike Cottage, where we experienced the feeling of Beatrix Potter meets David Copperfield!! a wonderful break from our daily hustle lives. We appreciate the fact that cottages like this are preserved renovated, and taken care of with so much love, and respect for the history of all the people who ever have actually lived here are honoured. Thanks for wonderful stay. "
