Tucked away in the peaceful countryside three miles from Sidmouth, this contemporary holiday lodge is a wonderful base for a family break packed with fun, fresh air, and feel-good adventures. Start your stay with a visit to the heartwarming Donkey Sanctuary, 100 metres from your doorstep. It’s free to enter, and little ones will love meeting the rescued donkeys, exploring the walking trails, and enjoying a slice of cake in the family-friendly cafe. A 3-mile drive away lies the seaside town of Sidmouth, where you can spend the day building sandcastles on the beach, paddling in the waves, or strolling along the esplanade with an ice cream in hand. The town also has charming shops, parks, and plenty of options for lunch with a sea view. Alternatively, take a ride on the Seaton Tramway for a unique journey through the wetlands. Further afield, explore smugglers’ caves in the cliffside village of Beer or walk the winding coastal paths of Branscombe, both within 7 miles of home.
Enter the front door into a welcoming hallway, where your holiday begins. To the left, you'll find the gleaming family bathroom featuring both a separate shower cubicle and a full-size bath for a refreshing soak after a day out exploring. Along the hallway, two generously sized bedrooms await: a tranquil king-size room and a bright twin – both thoughtfully furnished for a peaceful night’s sleep. At the heart of the cottage is the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Large windows and patio doors flood the room with natural light, creating a fresh, airy feel. The lounge area boasts plenty of comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and views across the patio. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up family favourites, and the sociable dining table is ideal for mealtimes, games, or planning the day’s adventures.
Head outside to your private al fresco dining space, complete with BBQ and a lawned garden surrounding the cottage – perfect for soaking up the sunshine or sipping a quiet drink in the fresh air. There’s also private parking for one car.
