This detached two-bedroom bungalow, set in the East Devon countryside and close to the coast, makes a wonderful holiday home for couples or families. Located in the Regency town of Sidmouth, within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the property is less than a mile from a golden, sandy beach. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing day sunbathing or exploring the rock pools and picturesque cliffs, followed by a leisurely stroll along the beachside esplanade and shopping in the town centre.

Ascend two steps to enter the bungalow and put your feet up in the inviting lounge which is filled with natural light from the French doors which offer glimpses of the sea. Get comfortable on the sofa or armchair and snuggle down while enjoying the warmth of the gas fire, or sit back and listen to the radio. The kitchen is the perfect place to conjure up a delicious family dinner, and you can look out at the garden from the large windows while you cook. There's also a useful utility area which is great for storing coats, boots, and buggies. The two bedrooms are both homely and cosy, with the king-size having a window at the end of the bed and a rattan armchair to relax in while admiring the views. The twin bedroom has distant views of the woodlands. The bathroom is the perfect spot to pamper yourself after a busy day, with a shower over the bath. For outdoor relaxation, step out onto the raised, paved patio area and take four steps down to the lawn.

Those who enjoy a traditional cream tea won’t want to miss out on tasting one of Devon’s famous treats in one of Sidmouth’s many cafes and restaurants. The town is also a great base for discovering the surrounding area. Lyme Regis in Dorset is just 16 miles away and offers a wonderful beach, harbour, and a historic town to explore. Nature lovers will be spoilt for choice with the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the doorstep. Home to a variety of scenic paths, including the South West Coast Path, guests can enjoy scenic strolls and stunning coastal views. No wifi

The property is in a very good location. A quiet area yet only a few minutes from the town, beach, restaurants and cafes. The overall cleanliness of the property is good, but let down by the seating in the lounge which is way past its usefulness, showing its age with both stains on the arm rests and cushions, and uncomfortable too. The single bedRead mores in the second bedroom were also found to be uncomfortable and noisy with squeaky springs. There is no wardrobe in this bedroom so nowhere to hang any clothes. The towels as provided in the property were clean, but at least one of the towels had holes in it, we didn't bother checking the rest. Because of the comfort issues we left after 3 days. Hide

The house was very clean and the location was good, however there were some things lacking that should be available in all properties these days, especially ones that charge such a lot of money. For example, there was no Wi-Fi which was hugely inconvenient as I had work to do, and also totally unexpected these days. Whilst the information did notRead more explicitly say there would be Wi-Fi, Internet connection is so normal that it is to be expected. The fact that there was no Wi-Fi connection should have been mentioned explicitly. There were other little things missing too such as no full length mirror, no oven gloves, no clothes airer and insufficient pegs. The television was hard to navigate as all the channels were set up very strangely and, as there was no internet connection, none of the smart features on it could be used. We really liked the house and will stay again, but Wi-Fi really should be a given in this day and age. Hide

Nice house but little things like there being no oven gloves were disappointing. Also no hand wash in the bathroom. Reminder from OC of departure sent 2 days after the holiday ended also weird!!
