Porters Lodge

You arrive at a single-storey space where everything unfolds on one level. The living room opens directly onto the grounds through patio doors, with a gas fire and Freeview TV for quieter evenings. The kitchen-dining area has what you need to cook or reheat meals—electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer—while the bedroom holds a double bed and its own TV. A shower room with heated towel rail completes the layout. Essentials like Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are provided, along with a welcome pack.

Porters Lodge is part of Kerrington House Hotel, so you keep your privacy as a self-contained apartment while gaining the perks of hotel ownership. The grounds are landscaped with patio seating and garden furniture (shared with other guests), and there's private parking for one car. A communal courtyard offers a quiet spot for morning coffee. The hotel's morning breakfast, lounge with honesty bar, and maintained grounds are available to you as a guest here.

Axminster itself sits in the Axe Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The market town centre is within walking distance, with shops and restaurants scattered through it. South Devon's attractions—the fossil cliffs near Seaton, Lyme Regis and its Jurassic Coast, River Cottage locations in the valley—are all within reach by car. No smoking in the property.
