Kerrington House — Hotel in East Devon

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Kerrington House. We decided to book a few nights away to clear the post-Christmas hangover and what a treat it was. Perfectly situated just a few minutes from Axminster Town Centre (and 10 minutes from the Jurassic Coast beaches at Lyme Regis and Charmouth), this fantastic Victorian House is set in its own private grounds and is packed full with all the Victorian charm you could hope for. This charm also extends to the wonderful host Fiona, who was attentive and considerate throughout our stay. Our room (Wisteria) was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order each morning and offered a wide selection, of Fruit, Yoghurts, Cereal and a range of cooked options, including Full English, Smoked Salmon and Poached Haddock. After our days out, we enjoyed a relax in the lounge in front the roaring fire, with a large glass of Red Wine from the well stocked Honesty Bar! A special mention must go to Wendy who assisted with cooking the Breakfast and we cannot leave out Fiona’s very friendly canine companion, who insured we were always welcome when we returned each day. We would definitely stay again. Well done ladies, keep up...

Last minute booking - taking a chance on a local hotel can be something of a gamble; not so with the Kerrington House Hotel.

The en suite bathroom was clean, tidy and well appointed. Breakfast, cooked to order is served on fresh white table cloths with bright clean cutlery; whilst the range of the menu choices was again typical of a higher end establishment. |We considered ourselves very fortunate to have found this hotel and hope to return. Excellent value and a truly...

We were visiting for a wedding at River Cottage and were thrilled with the convenience and attentiveness of Kerrington House and its staff. Fiona is a wonderful hostess and, as it turns out, a wonderful cook too. The breakfasts are made fresh to order (and the poached eggs are the best I've ever eaten!) The room was extremely clean and comfortable, the bed was huge and cosy, and we enjoyed the house's proximity to Lyme Regis and Charmouth which can both be reached in a matter of minutes. It's the perfect base for a River Cottage wedding - with the help of a local taxi firm - and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again, even if only to see Florence the gorgeous resident Newfoundland again! Thanks for a...
