Ideal home to stay in Sidmouth

The house was in a perfect location - a few minutes walk to the beach and the shops - but away from the hustle and bustle. Spotlessly clean, easy to communicate with the owners and everything you could need was in the home for a perfect relaxing break!

Lovely property in great location

The house and Sidmouth were lovely. House very comfortable. Access road to property is narrow, and drive not big enough for 4x4 but parking close by, including High Street which is free from Saturday 6pm until Monday 10am. Richard was a great host.

Red Rose Cottage Sidmouth

Excellent overall. Nice property with all facilities. Very good location for a base to explore Devon. Some very good restaurants nearby. Only slight issue was parking- access to lane to the property was difficult, in particular as building material stored across from entrance to lane during our stay. Apart from that small inconvenience, we would highly recommend it.

Lovely, comfy spot

This was a great place to stay in a fabulous seaside town (Queen Victoria used to stay here, famously.) The kitchen is small but very well-equipped and the living room dining area is very comfortable as were the beds. We all slept very well. Great location - very close to stores , the Byes, the sea (people were already swimming in May} and clifftop walks. Parking was a bit scary because even though there is a good space in front of the property, the lane to get there is very narrow. We didn't drive every day so this wasn't a problem. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Thanks to the hosts for the welcome and for being very available when we had questions.

Just the job

Nice house, well equipped kitchen. Just note the restricted on site parking. If you have a small car you are fine, we couldn’t fit a Mazda CX5 on the front of the house. Fortunately, local car parks were cheap (winter season). Sidmouth was surprisingly busy for a mid week in March. The house is minutes from the beach, nice flat walk up The Byes if you fancy it. Plenty of pubs and places to eat. Can recommend The Swan (nice pub food) - you may want to book ahead. Also recommend The Marine on the front if you fancy something more fancy.

Sidmouth

The house was exactly as described and we only had a couple of niggles. One concerned, we think, a need for hand rails on both sides of the stairs - they would eliminate any doubts on safety (the one set of stairs is quite steep). The other is about the DVD player - the sound quality is not good. The house was warm and very comfortable. It is comprehensively equipped. It is ideally located.

Gemütliches und komfortables Cottage in „a very British seaside town“

Wir haben die Woche in Sidmouth sehr genossen! Das Städtchen ist süß und sehr Britisch. Das Cottage liegt zentral und trotzdem ruhig. Das Meer erreicht man in fünf Minuten zu Fuß. Die Ausstattung ist einfach einwandfrei, es gibt nichts was es nicht gibt ! Die Betten, das Badezimmer, die Küche, der kleine Innenhof etc. - alles einfach perfekt! Und in der Küche warteten sogar Kekse, ein ganzer Schokoladenkuchen und eine Flasche Sekt! Super Gastgeber!

What a great find!

Stayed for a week with my parents who are in their 80s. We all loved the house, Richard had thought of everything you could need in this wonderful home. The cake, shortbread and fizz was such a lovely touch. Very comfortable home from home. Location could not be better. We loved the walks from the house, right in town but with country walks from the house within a couple of minutes. So well appointed. We will be back. Thank you so much.

Seaside treat in beautiful Sidmouth

My partner, myself and our little dog stayed at Rose Cottage for 3 nights over a weekend. We had a fabulous time, the house was in a perfect position, in a quiet backstreet just off the main road. The house was beautifully presented, great shower, comfy bed and a cute little outside courtyard. The kitchen was very well equipped too.We had treats left for us to enjoy, cake, shortbread and prosecco!We had great weather and were able to walk along the beach and sit outside on the seafront for breakfast!Would definitely recommend walking along The Byes, so very pretty.Would definitely recommend staying in this perfect seaside home.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Lockwood

Host profile image
We just love Sidmouth! Having been frequent visitors for many years the charm of Sidmouth never faded, the appeal only increased. Spending time in the town and surrounding area is always pleasant, on a bright November day, enjoying an ice cream in the summer or having a potter through the streets leading up to Christmas - every season in Sidmouth is a pleasure.

Why they chose this property

Having looked at many properties in Sidmouth we just knew that Red Rose was ideal when we walked through the door. A courtyard garden that gets the sun, three bright bedrooms, right in the heart of Sidmouth. The bonus of a parking space, the secluded yet central location. It was just what we were looking for.

We wanted a holiday cottage that was homely and comfortable. Where the furniture was chosen because we think it looks well together, not because it had become redundant in someone else's home, the little things matter.

In January 2022, we had new carpets throughout, and a walk in shower refit in the bathroom - and having road tested it, I can honestly say it is perfect!

We really hope that you enjoy looking at the cottage, and if you choose to stay that you have a really good time in comfortable, relaxing surroundings.
