Little gem

Golden Cottage is a very unassuming property but the interior is superbly appointed and perfect for a family getaway. The living area is comfortable and the gas fire a welcome addition on colder nights. Bedrooms were really comfortable and beds were dressed with high quality linen. The location is perfect with the sea front and shops only a short walk away. One major plus is that this cottage has its own car parking space which is a rare for a property so close to the town centre. We will definitely book again.

Highly recommended!

A really lovely property in a fantastic location - perfect for exploring Sidmouth and the local area. Despite some terrible weather, we enjoyed getting to know the town and being so central meant that we didn't need to use the car - a real bonus! Clean, comfortable and well-equipped - thanks Lizzy and Alex for a great stay!

Lovely beach house

The house has all you need for a stay at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped so you can cook if you don't want to eat out. The beach nick nacks and pictures are a lovely touch. The instructions given, including advice to reverse into the parking space, were spot on. Everything you need is within walking distance including the beach front, the byes footpath, the town centre and a lovely pub. Even better for us it was just around the corner from Evangel Church that we always worship at when in Sidmouth. I will be booking to stay here again when we next visit Sidmouth.

Autumn Break in Sidmouth

Golden Cottage is in an ideal location for a visit to Sidmouth and the surrounding area. The cottage is beautifully presented and exceptionally clean. The owners are easy to contact and access to the property was very straight forward. The note from the owner and some basic supplies were much appreciated after our long journey. We are looking forward to returning very soon.

Comfortable lodgings, near everything with easy parking

Everything you need in a great location with tasteful decoration throughout. On-site parking is easy (we have had other rentals in Sidmouth where parking was non-existant or very tricky). Clean and well organised house with all the info you need in a handy folder. No TV channels but there was access to some player services which kept the tired kids happy after long days of walks on the beach. Great location for access to Fun Time at the local swimming pool. A fabulous winter break to see family locally.

Devon Holiday

The cottage was perfectly situated for all local amenities - all within walking distance. The bedrooms worked out perfectly as my daughter had the single room on the second floor next door to my two grandsons and I had the double on the first floor. We were lucky to have good weather. The directions to and access to the cottage were very good.

An excellent location for the shops and only five minutes walk from the sea front.

Great location for all amenities. The cottage is warm and comfortable, but for older people of the group the stairs could be a challenge to the upper floor bedrooms. Bathroom has both a shower and bath, the bath being a pleasant surprise and we also appreciated our welcome gifts of biscuits and apple juice. It has a wonderful fire to keep you nice and toasty should you wish to visit in the winter months. We would definately stay again.

A Week By The Sea

After a dreadful journey, wettest day ever, we arrived at Golden Cottage and our spirits lifted immediately. Easy parking, welcoming accommodation, including chocolate biscuits, and everything in place for a week by the sea. The proximity to the sea, shops and places to eat ensured that we had an enjoyable, restful and stress free week despite the frequent showers.

About the host

Hosted by Lizzy Buttle

Host profile image
Alex is the third generation in his family to have been born and raised in Sidmouth. Alex and his wife Lizzy now live in London, but are keen to maintain their connections with Sidmouth so that their own children can still appreciate this wonderful town. Alex's parents still live and work here and relish visits from their grandchildren who also love their holidays by the sea!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy a house that was near the town centre and beach as this really is the best location when holidaying in Sidmouth! Being able to step outside your door and walk to the seafront rather than worrying about where to park is priceless. Being in town, it is so convenient to be able to pop out to all the wonderfully unique shops and boutiques in Sidmouth, not to mention the array of quaint cafes, fine restaurants and traditional pubs. The cottage is also close to The Byes - a peaceful and shady riverside walk when you want to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Golden Cottage is centrally located so it is convenient for all local amenities. The cottage benefits from it's own private parking space right outside the front door which is invaluable as finding parking near the shops, restaurants and beach can otherwise be difficult and expensive. The cottage is just two minutes walk from both the beach and the high street, so once you arrive at Golden Cottage you can forget the car and spend your holiday enjoying all the many delights of the town and seafront on foot.
