A garden table, parasol and chairs are available for sunny days. Handy, unlimited roadside parking adjacent to the house. The coast with its two main pebble beaches are a 10 minute very pleasant level walk through The Byes, and along the Esplanade. At low tide there are areas of sand perfect for sand castle building, while the rock pools provide hours of fun searching for crabs. The town with its wide variety of shops ideal for browsing, cafes, restaurants, theatre, cinema and numerous beautiful gardens are all a short walk away. There is adjacent roadside parking. You may prefer to leave your car at the house as it is possible to explore on foot or use the very good bus service. Honiton 8 miles away has good rail links. Sidmouth is excellent for exploring East Devon and Dorset. Lyme Regis with its fossil rich cliffs is a 20 minute drive. Exmouth with its large clean sandy beaches is about 15 minute drive. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast with its many unspoilt beaches can easily be explored driving as much or as little as desired. For walkers, Dartmoor National Park offers endless potential. For golfers, Sidmouth Golf Course is a mile away The Donkey Sanctuary very popular with families is a 3 mile drive. The Sidmouth Folk Festival at the end of July/beginning of August brings music and dance from many parts of the world. For something quite different the city of Exeter with its cathedral and retail therapy is about a 30 minute drive. Dog blanket and bowl are provided. We do ask that dogs do not sleep on beds as further guests may have allergies or pets. The Byes provides the perfect place for a walk. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 9 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Unlimited smartphone data usage ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the ocean - Next to a golf course - On a river ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76240000/76231400/76231337/a7259fd4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fabulous Sidmouth apartment with sea peeps The Triangle - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 40 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=76231337&PinnedHotelID=76231337&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77060000/77053200/77053200/97122723.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cobblers Cottage - a traditional cottage just moments from the seafront Sidmouth - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=77053200&PinnedHotelID=77053200&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33604300/33604203/16a2d91a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ground Floor apartment, close to beach and town centre, with parking Sidmouth - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 138 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=33604203&PinnedHotelID=33604203&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70380000/70373700/70373606/3b18d84d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy 2 Bedroom Cottage in Sidmouth 200m from the beach with free parking.

The location was perfect for us and the dog! Seafront, town and country park were only minutes away. The house is beautifully furnished with lots of space; the bed was really comfortable (such a big deal to us); lots of lovely local cafes with delicious food and coffee. The garden was good to let the dog out in the early morning and poo bins in the Byes meant it was easy to clean up after her too. We love Sidmouth and have really enjoyed spending our wedding anniversary and daughter’s birthday away. ##### Mark L. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Pauline S. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location The house is in an excellent location in the beautiful town of Sidmouth. We were all mature visitors. It appeared as though we were the first visitors of the season. The front garden entrance was very untidy. The entrance door very dirty covered in cobwebs, the plants/trees overgrown, which made it appear very unwelcoming, (such a shame) the back garden was the same. Very overgrown, not really usable for 4 adults with only a small table/2chairs. Which you could not sit around due to the overgrowth of plants/trees. Was a shame as we would have liked to sit and relax after a day out! The top bedroom in the eves of the house had a large velux window with no blind or covering, which was horrendous in the early morning with light/sun blaring into the room, which was blisteringly hot. We had to try and cover it with a throw and buy a fan for sleeping! As others had mentioned the stairs outside the bathroom are actually a death trap, not suitable for children or anyone for that matter. The bathroom itself needed a good clean. The skirting boards full of dust/dirt! Nothing was supplied for cleaning, either in the kitchen or bathroom, no bin bags, nothing! Not very welcoming at all. ##### Pauline S.

Looking out over and crossing the little bridge over the River Sid to the Byes, a N.Trust couple of miles park, then passing the Old Toll House, heading for the beach via a car-crossing ford, has not changed in sixty years. Sidmouth is still a delightful gem with the red cliffs of Salcombe Hill and Peak Hill protecting it either side. Lots to see and do....ride on a tram along the River Axe at Seaton, visit the old mining caves at Beer, and admire the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary. The house was very well equipped with everything required, also the beds were very comfortable. All in all a very enjoyable week. ##### Sheila H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul P. 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house, great location but be wary of the stairs We loved our stay at this lovely well located and well equipped cottage. Our only comments would be that: - visitors considering this property should be made aware that the stairs are relatively narrow and steep. This means that transferring luggage is not easy, especially for more elderly guests, and they are potentially dangerous for guests on the top floor who need to visit the bathroom on the middle floor in the middle of the night. Also, be aware that the stairs also open straight into the bedroom on the top floor with no door or separation, - The water pressure from the shower head was very low, (we noted that this had been mentioned in the past), and was only acceptable when adjusted to provide a narrow jet, - the bed on the first floor was indeed very comfortable but the springs in both worn mattresses in the bedroom on the upper floor could clearly be felt and need replacing, - Having worked in tourism for many years, we were surprised that there was no welcome pack such as tea, coffee, a bottle of wine etc which is such a standard feature in comparable properties. These comments are in no way a complaint but intended to be constructive so as to fully inform future guests & help the owners to turn a lovely property into a truly top-notch one! ##### Paul P.
