A gem of a holiday base.

Excellent holiday situation, in the small village of Sidford, on the outskirts of the popular coastal town of Sidmouth. Conveniently, under a 10-minute walk to the village centre, with Spar shop, fish & chip shop, The Rising Sun pub/restaurant and other businesses. The famous Blue Ball Inn is under a 5-minute walk.

Just over half a mile to the popular walk along the National Trust, ‘The Byes’, a 2-mile riverside, picturesque walk with winding footpaths through parkland, wild flower meadows and fields along the River Sid from Sidford to the sea at Sidmouth.

Visit the famous beautiful Sidmouth ‘Connaught Gardens’ with a fascinating range of plants and award winning Clock Tower Tearooms and Restaurant café. From these gardens a flight of steps called ‘Jacobs Ladder’ takes you down to the sandy beach below. Take a guided tour around the town and follow the Sidmouth’s Blue Plaque Trail seeing many historic sites.

Stunning cliff top walks along the Jurassic Coast, part of the South West Coast Path to Weston and Branscombe in one direction and Ladram Bay in the other.

The picture postcard village of Branscombe with working forge, old bakery tea rooms, mill, two traditional inns serving excellent food and the fishing village of Beer with the Quarry Caves and Pecorama model railway/pleasure gardens are a 15-minute drive. En-route pass by The Norman Lockyer Observatory at Salcombe Regis and then onto the famous Donkey Sanctuary with excellent café/restaurant at Weston.

Lyme Regis, known as ‘The Pearl of Dorset’ famous for its historical Cobb and fossil hunting is a 25-minute drive. The coastal towns of Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth are also an easy drive away.

An ideal location for a beach holiday for couples wishing for a seaside holiday with stunning spectacular coastal footpaths over the cliff tops and exploring the many delights on the Devon/Dorset border.

It would be quite impossible to find a negative comment to make about Little Hollies in Sidford. EVERYTHING was excellent and we felt hugely comfortable there even if the weather was dreadful (February) for much of the time. The welcoming basket of "goodies" was outstanding and the bed was very comfortable. The view out over Sidmouth was gorgeous. Read moreSo, we can only say 10/10 from the Holmes'. Hide
