Guests say
Old Town Cottage in Sidmouth is highly praised for its excellent central location, close proximity to the seafront, and the rare benefit of parking for two cars. Guests consistently describe the property as cosy, well-equipped, and clean, making it ideal for families and repeat visitors. While the characterful cottage has steep stairs and some areas that feel a little tired, these are outweighed by its charm and convenience. Minor issues, such as the lack of a welcome pack and occasional maintenance niggles, are mentioned but do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one minor mention of an overfull bin, but overall, guests are very satisfied.
The location is universally praised as excellent, being just minutes from the seafront and town centre, with all amenities close by. The central setting and parking are repeatedly described as major advantages.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, suitable for families and groups. Some mention steep stairs and low ceilings, but these are generally accepted as part of the cottage's character.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with ample kitchenware and appliances. Some areas are noted as a bit tired or compact, and there are occasional minor maintenance issues, but these are quickly addressed.
A few guests mention missing a welcome pack and out-of-date information, but there is no consistent mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches. Please note that welcome packs or gifts are not guaranteed.
