St Giles Cottage is on a quiet lane, with a little river running beside.
Sidmouth is a stone's throw from Sidbury - a fabulous Regency Town with long promenade, dramatic cliffs, pebbled beaches - sand at low tide - and lovely shops to browse in.
The cottage has a pretty garden where you can sit and listen to the river just across the little lane.
There is plenty of light in this lovely room. The bay window looks out towards the little bridge over the river ( there are privacy net curtains for those who wish )
The cottage has a very spacious living/dining room with a huge fireplace and woodburning stove.
The window seat is another lovely feature in this welcoming cottage

This image is taken from the nature reserve across the lane. A lovely peaceful place to walk, sit, and relax. The cottage is the left hand property
The kitchen is the first room that you enter - though there is a second door -with a very useful porch - into the living room
This is the master bedroom. There is a lovely view over the river to the nature reserve on the other side, and up the hill ito the heart of the historic village
Another view of the comfortable master bedroom.
This is the en-suite shower room for the master bedroom,
This is the second double bedroom. This room has views over the fields.
The single bedroom looks out to the back of the cottage, over its garden. There are four steps up to this room.
The family bathroom has a bath and a fitted shower.
The quirky layout of this characterful cottage adds to its charm.
The car parking-area is at the end of the garden but there is roadside parking to the front of the cottage if you prefer.
This lane leads over the bridge and into the village. If you take the track to the left over the bridge it leads to a wonderful nature reserve.
There are plenty of local footpaths to explore. For the energetic, Sidmouth is only three miles away!
This is Sidbury - taken from the top of the lane that runs past the cottage.
Another view of the reserve across the road, looking back towards the row of cottages. The white cottage in view is the neighbour to St Giles (which is behind the trees).
Facing east along the stunning Jurassic Coast towards Dorset, taken from the end of the promenade at Sidmouth.
This is the western end of Sidmouth - with the famous Jacobs Ladder set of steps to the beach. There is a great cafe at the top.
This is just what a holiday here is all about.
There is a wonderful route between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton - well worth exploring for the fabulous views. This is Sidmouth.
The rolling green lanscape of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The east Devon Jurassic coastline is stunning. This is the fishing village of Beer - like stepping back in time with the fishing boats pulled up on the beach.

The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Reluctant to use the recently installed wood burner - too much effort - although did put heating on occasionally as it did bet a bit cool. Thanks to owner for nice wine + in fridge on arrival + for very thoughtful and well equipped kitchen +...

Cottage is in an excellent location for trips out. It is a plus that it is situated just off a main road, so easy to get to, but with lovely stream and local walk on the doorstep.
Mr Dodd November 2024
A lovely cottage that has all you need for a relaxing holiday in the country with easy access to coastal areas by car or bus.

St Giles Cottage is quite charming in a lovely, quiet location. It is well situated for Sidmouth, Lyme Regis, Exmouth etc. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped, clean and well configured, and both bedrooms and living space are comfortable. Very efficient central heating - it weas a cold week! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there....
