Lobster Cottage Reviews
An absolute triumph 5/5*****
We took two of the three cottages and it worked out brilliantly. Everyone was able to wander in and out at will or meet in the garden for a drink in the sunshine. The proximity to the beach and coast path for walking the dogs and beach bbq was a great. No busy road to negotiate. Definitely stay there again.

A great base for exploring 5/5*****
A lovely cottage set in the heart of Budleigh Salterton, only 5 min walk to the stunning pebble beach and 5 min walk to the shops, pubs and chippy. It's a great location to go and explore the rest of the Devon coast. We had a fabulous stay, at lobster cottage. It was well equipped with everything we needed to relax after a day out with 2 young boys. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Starfish accommodation: Lobster Cottage 5/5*****We arrived to a lovely cosy clean cottage. With the added comfort of milk left in the fridge along with a bottle of wine. We loved the accommodation and Leticia the owner came to see us on our arrival to make sure we were all ok. We would recommend this accommodation to anyone it was fantastic and we will definitely be back in 2021!

Food & Drink
As Starfish Accommodation cottages are located right in the centre of town, so you are only a short stroll away from all the local amenities Budleigh has to offer, including a number of convenience stores for your staples, a grocers, butchers, heath food store, chemists and off-licences. Also scattered around town and along marine parade next to the beach are many cafés, restaurants, pubs and take-aways. Plenty to keep everyone's tummy's fed without even needing to get in the car and drive anywhere! Here are just a few of our favourite food and drink outlets...
|
Pubs, restaurants and cafésBudleigh itself has two pubs in town and one on the outskirts, a wealth of cafés including three along the beach, as well as a handful of restaurants which are also open in the evening including an Italian and Indian.
DISTANCE: Just a wander up the High Street or down to the beach!
|
|
Takeaways and groceriesIn Budleigh itself we have a Fish and Chip shop, Chinese Takeaway and Indian Takeaway, but there are also plenty of takeaways in Exmouth who will deliver here for a small additional charge.
For your self-catering groceries we have the Co-op, Spar and Tesco in town as well as some independent shops including a green grocer, a butcher, deli and health food shop. DISTANCE: Just around the corner on the High Street.

Local Attractions
Budleigh town and this area of Devon is set within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and so boasts some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK to explore on the road by car or public transport, or by bike, horse or on foot through the woodlands and heathlands open to the public. And not forgetting we are just on the edge of the South West Coastal Footpath too! Budleigh's quaint high street offers many independent shops from gift shops to galleries, clothes shops to barbers, hairdressers, beauty salons and more.
