Leave ReviewAmazing stay
By Emily on 08-Aug-2025The property is located perfectly for a stay by the coast. You can either walk down the byes to the front or catch the bus just outside of spa which is opposite. The house has everything you need and a lovely garden where we ate most meals. There is a folder with recommended local days out, take aways and restaurants which was really handy. We will definitely be staying again.
Very convenient location and comfortable accommodation
By Francis O’Neill on 01-Aug-2025We stayed during Sidmouth Folk Festival and found the house a great base to get to and from Sidmouth Centre as the buses were very frequent and the stop conveniently located only some 50 yards from the house. The house was very comfortable with all necessary amenities. Nice also to have a place to sit outside and eat in the evening.
