Enjoy a classic seaside escape with a stay at this welcoming Sidmouth apartment, perfect for families or friends looking to explore the best of Devon’s coast and countryside. Just over 100 metres from the town’s charming seafront, you’ll find pebble beaches, rock pools, and sweeping Regency architecture that capture the town’s timeless appeal.

Accessed via steps from the car park to the main entrance, with a lift or stairs up to the second floor, head inside and unwind in the airy lounge, where comfortable seating and a Smart TV make it easy to relax after a day of coastal walks. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for home cooking, while the bright dining area provides a spot to gather for meals. Finished in peaceful, neutral tones, two inviting bedrooms – a double and a twin – are complemented by a sleek family bathroom. Although there’s no private outdoor area, you’re less than 200 metres from the beach – ideal for morning strolls or evening picnics by the sea. A private, secure parking space for one small to medium car is included for your convenience.

Spend the day browsing Sidmouth’s independent shops and cafes, or pack a picnic for Connaught Gardens, where the sea views are spectacular. For family adventures, Crealy Theme Park (9 miles) promises rides, animal encounters, and play zones, while nearby Seaton (10 miles) offers a sandy beach and the scenic tramway through nature reserves. A little further afield, Exeter (16 miles) makes a fantastic day trip with its historic cathedral, bustling quay, and fascinating Royal Albert Memorial Museum.

A lovely and spacious apartment, that was presented in a very clean and tidy condition. Well equipped and situated right in the centre of Sidmouth. Parking is in a secure underground car park, but note that access from this to the top floor apartment involves a number of stairs or lifts and using four different keys for various doors.

Great location, comfortable beds and lounge furniture, equipment was all clean and useful. The carpet could have been cleaner and the hike up to the flat was tricky with bags. Generally, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again (with less luggage)!

Lovely spacious apartment. Very comfortable beds. Apartment was nice and clean and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Carpark space is small. Thankfully carpark was mainly empty during our stay. If busy it would be awkward to park car. Would definitely book apartment again.
