Nestled in a remote part of the countryside, yet just 3 miles from Sidmouth Beach, this quiet and contemporary retreat is a wonderful change from everyday life. Take in the golden sands of the Devon coast with your family of four or group of friends before returning to cosy furnishings and a stylish outside dining area.

Enter the bright and open living space, which is both practical and relaxing. There's a comfy sofa for stretching out, a Smart TV for movie marathons, and huge windows and patio doors that allow the outside in. The kitchen space is modern and equipped with all the necessary items to prepare a hearty breakfast or a low-key dinner, while the nearby dining table is ideal for card games and second helpings of Devon scones. In the evening, head outside with your favourite drink and fire up the BBQ, or sit back while the last of the sun warms the garden. The lawn is great for the kids to burn off the last bit of energy, while you claim a quiet corner to unwind. When it's time to call it a night, enjoy the fresh sheets and soft lighting in either the tranquil king-size bedroom or the cosy twin room. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a well-appointed family bathroom. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car.

During your getaway to Sidmouth, you must visit the Donkey Sanctuary, which is a mere 100 metres from your doorstep. Drive just 3 miles and you'll find yourself surrounded by captivating beaches, including Sidmouth, which is renowned for its links to fossil hunting. Fresh seafood and gourmet dining experiences are available in the town centre, while down the coast, adventurers will love searching for smugglers' caves in the cliffside village of Beer (6 miles).

I must admit when I realised after booking that it was on a site that didn't have good reviews I did wonder what I had done but I have to say I couldn't fault the bungalow, site or location. The bungalow was really nice and well equipped.

Well equipped but lots of stuff so didnt feel like we had room for any of ours (Kitchen cupboard space to be specific) Shower ran cold despite all other taps being hot. No welcome package, not even a pint of milk! Most dogs off lead and roaming freely despite signs everywhere saying to keep them on the lead. This is fine if you dont have dogs Read moreof your own and are happy for them to pop by and say hi! Our dogs are friendly but not to the point where random dogs can come and go as they please. Lovely area but be mindful if you want to go anywhere you will need to go by car or walk (we knew this and was fine with it) We visited Tyra in 2022 and the property was better and provided a lovely welcome package, sadly this time the property could do with a bit of love and attention.

Lovely well designed and updated accommodation with high spec equipment. Fresh and airy with comfortable armchairs. The beds are firm and ok and probably what you would expect from holiday accommodation. Location great and handy for the Donkey Sanctuary.
