Ocean views can be enjoyed from Peak Hill and Connaught Gardens, whilst you can try out watersports and wild swimming at Sidmouth Beach and Weston Beach. A little further from the property you will find the thriving town of Lyme Regis, a great place to begin your exploration of the Jurassic coast and to see what fossils you can find hidden within the rocks. Lyme Regis also has many excellent eateries, including Lal Qilla Indian restaurant and Rock Point Inn, as well as many independent shops selling homemade produce and fossils, and a museum to pique your curiosity.

In the south Devon section of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site with outstanding natural beauty, is Sidmouth, a posh coastal town. Here, the River Sid slashes through the Devon hills to meet the sea at Lyme Bay, producing a spotless pebbly beach that, at low tide, gives way to golden sands framed by striking red cliffs, making it a safe family beach with rockpools and safe swimming. Sidmouth's exquisite Esplanade, which may be strolled along while admiring the view of Beer Head, is flanked with chic Regency cream-and-white buildings. The Norman Lockyer Observatory in Sidmouth, which includes a planetarium, is one of the few observatories with open access. The Seaton tramway, Pecorama, with its award-winning miniature train and gardens, the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve, and other attractions may be found close to Sidmouth. Beaches are great for families, walkers will like the South West Coastal Path, and there are many of tea shops, cafés, and warm rural inns to unwind and refresh you at the end of the day.

Beautiful house well maintained. Description was accurate. The Parking space was too small to get our Astra in but at least with the sign up we had reserved roadside parking. Would recommend. Everything thought of that we needed. Would recommend and would return

The parking space is fine for a medium sized car. You could have a good break here without a car. We got the bus into Exeter on one day and used the local swimming baths when it was rainy. You can walk up to Mutters Moor from the road.

Lovely Kitchen, nice comfy beds and nicely decorated. Just a couple of minor issues, downstairs toilet basin tap had a very slow feed. Garden table and chairs were dusty and full of cobwebs. There could have been a better personal touch like some of the other properties where we have stayed e.g. A pint of milk in the fridge, perhaps a small cake etc. There were some coffee sachets and peppermint tea bags but no ordinary tea bags.
