About this property

3 bed cottage to rent in Sidmouth - 3 mins walk from town and beach

  • Heydons House is a lovingly maintained, high quality cottage to rent in an enviable location in the heart of Sidmouth.
    The beauty of Heyons House is that it is set in a peaceful area yet within a 3 minute level walk of the sea front and town centre. It is tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through road, yet everything you could possibly need is within walking distance. Importantly it offers its own parking space by way of an integral garage.

    Very comfortably furnished throughout, the accommodation is spacious and versatile. There are 3 main bedrooms but also a 4th room off the master bedroom, that is in essence a dressing room but has a single bed (with further pull out) so can be used as a 4th single or twin bedroom.
    The layout of the cottage will also suit couples who just like a little more space and quality.
    A real feature of the cottage is the large, country style kitchen. The immaculate kitchen that was newly refurbished in Feb 2022 also has a traditional oven and hob. (An aga is ornamental only).
    From the kitchen, patio doors lead to the private and sunny courtyard.

    We accept stays of 3 nights or more - please enquire further for prices.

Location, location, location

Lovely, well-equipped cottage, located in the beautiful seaside town, Sidmouth. Just a three-minute walk to the beach - brilliant for an early morning or end-of-the-day swim. The town centre (2 minutes walk) also has lots to offer. We parked easily on nearby steeets, for free everyday. I look forward to staying here again.

Will definitely return

A lovely cottage. Very clean, spacious with a ‘good’ vibe’. Everything we required, was there. In a beautiful quiet area, but very close to everything we wanted. A few back and forths to reverse our small car into the garage, but a lot easier to drive out.

Cottage

In such a good position, close to beach and shops. Only downside was the parking, the car needs to be small to fit in the garage. The garden needs some work as nowhere to relaxe outside which is a pity as it was a sun trap and out of the wind.

Lovely house in a great location

We were on holiday with my son his wife and their 3 kids. We couldn't fault the accommodation , it certainly met all our needs. The property was Spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchen, 3 loos ,2 bathrooms, very good wifi . Nice courtyard garden. Great location for the town and the beach and good service from Jon in terms of checking in help etc. I would certainly stay here again if we return to Sidmouth

Heydon’s House

Just arrived back home and want to be back there; the property is just Great and in a perfect location; 2 minute walk and your directly into the high street. Jon and Nicole are extremely friendly and make sure to reach out to you to see if everything is ok or anything is required. Most definitely a return trip; book now as you’ll be mad to miss out.

Lovely little cottage close to all amenities. Lovely little gifts waiting on arrival. Manager on hand if needed. One little negative, pillows were very flat. That maybe a personal preference. I would book again.

Wonderful

We spent a wonderful week at Heydons House and even though it was near the end of September the weather was glorious. The Cottage is in a great location with just a v short stroll into town or the beach. Jon was very helpful with the booking and Nicole made sure that all our requirements were met before we arrived. Our car was actually too large to get into the garage but there was always parking on the nearby streets so not a problem at all. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house.

What a lovely place to spend Christmas!

Stayed for a week over Christmas. Great location in a beautiful part of the UK. Lucky with the weather and did some lovely walks around the coast, which is stunning. Property had most things we could wish for - almost all the white goods were either brand new or hardly used, which made our stay really comfortable. Enjoyed the challenge of the Aga and surprised ourselves by cooking a creditable xmas lunch! Only suggestions would be some new, larger towels and a set of saucepans with matching lids, but we can see the property is constantly being improved and this did not detract from our overall enjoyment. We were able to park outside the International School all week so the tight access to the garage did not bother us. A delightful week in a very sweet little property, thanks to Jon for all the efforts made to ensure our comfort.

Brilliant location lovely seaside town!

Very well placed property -- only drawback is parking but not difficult to remedy with a bit of thought! We had a few glitches when we arrived as the kitchen had been re done and the heating had either been turned off or reset inncorrectly also no internet -- a quick call to the property manager -- who went above and beyond -- and all was sorted ! The house itself is cosy and lovely well furnished and ideal for thetown and beach. We had another glitch the following day with the dishwasher but again everything poss was done to help unfortunately without success-- This sounds like a moan but I highly recommend this cottage -- the reason I mention the problems is to highlight the fact that we had excellent service and help! -- I would definately book again as we had a lovely time!

Great location

A delightful property in a peaceful location surrounded by other pretty cottages, yet so close to the shops and seafront . Parking a real bonus our medium size car had no problem parking in the garage just needed careful manoeuvring. The double bed was very comfortable and there was a very high standard of cleanliness throughout .
