Rural Devon retreat Tranquil setting on a private estate Close to the Jurassic Coast About the property Tree Pipit is a delightful semi-detached, stone cottage, located at the edge of Membury village in East Devon’s Black Down Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set in the 8-acre estate of the owners’ Grade II-listed, Georgian country house, the cottage offers a truly peaceful countryside stay with a remote feel, yet is only several miles away from the Jurassic Coast and bustling towns. Tree Pipit Cottage is a wonderful escape if you’re seeking rest, relaxation and quality time away from the norm. Tree Pipit Cottage is a cosy, single-storey property that was once one of the estate’s outbuildings, but has been lovingly converted to provide comfortable accommodation. Throughout the cottage areas of the original stone walls remain exposed for an injection of period, country character, while the light colour palette gives it a bright and fresh feel. An open-plan living area features a sitting room with two sofas and a dining table that can seat four people, offering an ideal place to enjoy family meals together or nights in front of the TV. An electric wood-burner will warm you up on those cooler evenings and make the cottage feel extra cosy. In the living area, you’ll see that a picture of a Brigand aircraft has been proudly hung on the wall. It’s a nod to the White family who bought the estate in 1919 and were instrumental in the manufacture of early, pioneering aircraft. When it comes to whipping up a picnic for a day out or a tasty dinner, you’ll find everything to do so in the fully-fitted kitchen, which also has a dishwasher to make clearing up easy. French doors lead from the living area out onto a paved courtyard garden with a table and chairs where you can enjoy an alfresco lunch or pre-dinner drinks. Beyond this is a lawned area that guests of other cottages also have access to. The first of the two bedrooms has one double bed, whilst the second has two singles (which can be converted into a double on request), which makes the cottage ideal for a small family. It’s so peaceful here, with hardly a sound outside, that many guests report having one of the best night’s sleep they’ve ever had. There’s also a family shower room with a shower, sink and WC.
Lovely cottage in a nice and quiet location. Generally clean. We were able to cook in the kitchen but it was missing a few useful items (e.g. oil). The orangery was a lovely place to sit in the morning and evening. The only downside to staying here is that some of the surrounding roads are difficult to drive on and navigate. Our host Carole provided some instuctions but I would recommend looking at the route beforehand and using Maps. Some aspects of this listing did not align (including the name of the cottage and the host). Otherwise we had a lovely time and enjoyed walking on the grounds.
Absolute fantastic place to stay, so peaceful and beautiful surroundings, the gardens are lovely and there is a lovely conservatory to sit in on colder days. Perfect place for dogs and perfect if you wanted to stay alone. You do need a car to travel to places but this is such a lovely place to come back to after a day on the beach and relax in the peace and quiet. Highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning xxxx
There are some good country pubs within a relatively short distance, while the market town of Axminster is about 6 miles away. Here, you will find a good choice of shops and supermarkets where you can stock up on supplies, as well as a range of restaurants. If your cottage stay is with the children, or even if it’s not, Little Orchard Alpacas near Axminster offers a variety of alpaca walks and experiences that are sure to delight little and big kids alike.
Countryside hiking routes, cycling trails and bridleways abound in this area of East Devon, so there are plenty of ways to enjoy the fresh air. For days filled with sea views and family fun on the beach, head to one of the charming seaside towns such as Seaton, Lyme Regis or Sidmouth on the Jurassic Coast. Enjoying World Heritage Status, the Jurassic Coast is also an excellent place for fossil-hunting and taking long walks on the South West Coast Path, where dogs are very welcome too.

Due to the rural location, travelling here and around the area by car is strongly advised. Please note that there are narrow lanes leading to the estate’s cottages, however there are a number of passing places should you encounter an oncoming vehicle. There is parking for one car at Tree Pipit Cottage. However, transport to and from nearby Axminster train station can be arranged should you wish to arrive and depart by rail. There is a regular mainline service between Axminster and London.
Once you’ve arrived at the cottage, if you don’t want to hop into a vehicle again during your stay, that’s perfectly possible. Instead, you can join the footpath that runs alongside one of the estate’s boundaries to explore the network of public walkways and bridleways that weave through the Black Down Hills.
Lyme Regis is about 6 miles away; Seaton 10 miles and Taunton in Somerset is 24 miles.
