A lovely, comfortable, cottage in the heart of Sidmouth. Very close to shops, cafés and restaurants. The sea is just a stones throw away with plenty of seating along the promenade. Lots of places of interest to visit within close proximity. Highly recommended.

Excellent cottage in a fantastic position. The cottage was really comfy and welcoming. It was also great to have the security of off road parking. Prior to our visit, we had noted that the bathroom/toilet was stated to be on the second floor and the three bedrooms on the the "third floor". However, this was absolutely not a problem as the bathroom and toilet were only two steps down from the landing at the back of the house. Also, we found that the stairs to the first landing - to the three bedrooms were no problem at all.
