Unlike some of the other cottages ,we own and manage our property and love it which is reflected in the furnishings and pictures and we provide lots of extras to make your stay special. We think it is the nicest and our guests seem to agree .
We try and take great care to look after it .
It is in the furthest corner so very private and not overlooked.
We are happy to welcome up to 2 dogs ( we don’t have a private garden but shared space which itself is surrounded by a thick hedge. We have miles of walks from our door including the SW coast path and miles of donkey sanctuary paths. The donkey sanctuary is a 5 minute walk and entry is free.

Situated within Stoneleigh Village, Kokopelli is on the edge of the site with a private aspect.
We have lots of 5 *reviews not all available on this site.
You can book direct just look for Kokopelli cottage Sidmouth or see our facebook page @kokopellicottagesidmouth.
We are in quite a rural position so its very peaceful and the perfect place to chill but only 1 1/ 2 miles away from beautiful Branscombe with two very nice pubs and 3 miles from the bustling town of Sidmouth with numerous cosy cafes, cute shops and lovely restaurants mostly all dog friendly.

Close to the picturesque Regency seaside town of Sidmouth, on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, there are a variety of beaches, independent shops, and access to the South West Coastal footpath.
We are close to Beer, Branscombe, Seaton and only 12 miles from Lyme Regis and Budeleigh Salterton and Exmouth in the opposite direction
We are a 5 minute walk to the Donkey sanctuary which also has a very nice restaurant and lots of activities.
Local amenities and activities include golf, fishing, paddle boarding,horse riding, kayaking, tennis and riverside walks. The charming nearby fishing villages of Beer, Branscombe and Budleigh Salterton are all worth visiting. For children, great days out can be had at Crealy Adventure Park, Bicton Botanical Gardens, the Donkey Sanctuary, fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, Seaton Tramway and Seaton Jurassic adventure, Wildwoods, River Axe country park, Pecorama. Exmouth has a nice Cruise ships with bird watching , jurassic coast and themed sails for halloween and christmas as an example. Local nature reserves including the Seaton Marshes and Budleigh Salterton for birdwatching are within close proximity. Slightly further afield is the historic town of Topsham on the River Exe and the city of Exeter with its imposing cathedral. Dartmoor National Park, with its rugged natural beauty is approximately an hour’s drive away.
Normal changeover day in peak seasons is saturday but happy to do long weekends from friday at other times.
Also out of peak season we are happy to do a minimum 2 nights stay.
Wireless broadband is provided to guests free of charge via EE mobile.

About the host

Host profile image
We bought this cottage because we love the location and regularly spend time here getting away from it all. It is an incredibly relaxing place. We both work hard and this is our bolt hole. We have 2 daughters ,two grandchildren who love staying and dog (called Moose) who also enjoys the walks around the area, be it on the many paths in and around the Donkey Sanctuary or along the coastal path to our favourite local pub, the Fountainhead (great food, drink and atmosphere!)
We love interacting with our guests before they arrive and although we live in Wiltshire we have a fantastic team of cleaners and are always on the end of a phone in case of queries . We stay at Kokopelli regularly to make sure everything is tip top and are always looking out for new walks to do or cafes to enjoy a coffee and Moose likes to explore .

Why they chose this property

When our kids were younger we had many holidays in the area, sometimes with several families from our village and we have always felt drawn back. From the stunning views and fresh air from walking along the SW coastal path to the exceptionally friendly and quaint nature of Sidmouth it has so much to offer all the family. The Jurassic coast beaches are fabulous and the grass tennis courts in Sidmouth were always a fun way to spend time with each other. That is why we bought Kokopelli and why we keep coming back.

Kokopelli is a character we came across on a holiday in Moab, Utah in the USA. Moab is a beautiful area with fantastic canyons, rock formations and vibrant colours. It is an amazing place to enjoy many outdoor activities cycling, hiking, climbing, rafting. The key ingredient being fun and adventure and we hope these are just a couple of things you experience during your stay. (By the way Kokopelli was an ancient American Indian God of love, music and laughter and represents the spirit of music!)

What makes this property unique

Donkeys - we are a 5 minute walk from the fabulous donkey sanctuary and it is free to visit Peaceful, safe, great open grassy space for adults and children to play outside and on the far edge of Stoneleigh Village so the cottage is not overlooked and enjoys a private aspect.
We have good WiFi which is not available in many other cottages.We take great pride in our cottage and make sure it is equipped with everything you need from pots and pans to picnic chairs.

It is next door to the Donkey Sanctuary which is a delightful place to wander round. It has so many paths to explore around the fields where the donkeys enjoy their time with each other.
A great cooked English breakfast is available at the donkey sanctuary if you don't feel like cooking and the cafe does lovely lunches and afternoon tea , coffee and cake and Sunday lunch..!

It is a fabulous centre for so many activities if you wish to explore further afield, whether you enjoy hiking, sailing playing on the beach, bird watching, adventure parks, folk festivals (Sidmouth's festival is legendary!)
