  • Breath taking views of the rolling Devon countryside with access to private meadow gardens with a pond full of wildlife
  • Country walks directly from the property’s front door
  • Within walking distance of local pub for ales and good food
  • Just 2 miles from the lovely seaside town of Sidmouth for local shops, music and art festivals and breath-taking scenery 
Property code: OC-HAYES

This attractive, first-floor annexe apartment boasts impressive, far-reaching country views making it an ideal rural retreat for three. The property enjoys a peaceful location tucked within rolling countryside yet is still close to some of the area’s much-loved beaches and attractions giving you the best of both worlds. Explore the hills from right on the doorstep before relaxing in the roll-top bath or watching the sun melt into the hills from the window seat.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner benefits from large windows, making it beautifully sunny and giving it a sense of peace and tranquillity. The stylish kitchen area is compact but perfectly organised and a porthole window above the sink adds a nautical feel. The lounge area has a splash of blue which adds colour to the otherwise neutral palette. Deep sofas provide an optimum snuggle space for a bit of relaxation after a day exploring the hills or local area. The bedroom boasts a double and pull-out bed giving the property versatility for an extra person and access to a meadow that contains a pond with wildlife, a beautiful setting for an afternoon stroll.

Access to the beach is easy from this property as the pretty seaside town of Sidmouth is just 2 miles away and offers two sandy beaches and a range of shops, cafes and restaurants. The city of Exeter is only 12.6 miles away with plenty of history, dating back to the Roman times, and a multitude of shops and restaurants to satisfy any palette. In contrast, the theme park Crealy Adventure Park and Resort (6.5 miles away) is ideal for a family-friendly day out.

  • 1 bedroom with double bed and additional pull-out bed
  • 1 bathroom with lovely roll-top bath, separate walk-in shower, and WC
  • TV, Freeview, video and DVD
  • Electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and freezer

We had a lovely weeks stay in the Annex. Our toddler particularly enjoyed exploring the meadow! The views looking out were beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better location. We would love to stay again.

Despite rain and rather cold temperatures, we had an enjoyable three-night break in this apartment with its spectacular view. The weather made it unsuitable for walks, unfortunately, but proximity to Sidmouth is a big asset and we also visited Ottery St Mary (the church is a must) and Honiton. Huge numbers of daffodils and other spring flowers everRead moreywhere, which made East Devon very beautiful. Hide

Thank you for a great stay, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The view across the valley is mesmerizing and the walk along the river was a joy, even on a rainy February day. The place is clean, warm and cosy and the photo's don't do it justice. The location is perfect for exploring this part of Devon; Sidmouth, Exmouth and Exeter are all in easy reaRead morech. The equipment is adequate but nothing flash so if you are a budding chef then you might want to bring your favourite things with you. Hide

A clean spacious apartment, really quiet and peaceful, lots of nice walks on the doorstep and plenty to do farther afield. There are three pubs nearby, although each required a roughly 30 min walk off-road (we were blessed with blazing July sunshine and light evenings, so this wasn't a problem). Hosts friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
