Sidmouth lies on the South Devon coast, at the mouth of the River Sid. It is 14 miles east of the city of Exeter and surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Holiday cottages in Sidmouth are a favourite among visitors who have fallen under the spell of the town’s fine Regency architecture, gardens and beaches. Nestled beneath green hills and red sandstone cliffs, it is an idyllic base from which to explore the region. Take a wander to the seafront from your holiday cottage in Sidmouth and stroll along the promenade overlooking the sand and shingle shore. Enjoy far-reaching views along the coast with the towering cliffs of Peak Hill visible in the distance.
Shippen Cottage was built in the mid c19th as a purpose built shippen, or cowshed, where the cows would have all been milked by hand. Now a pretty holiday cottage that sleeps up to 6 guests, with enclosed private garden, which adjoins pasture and beyond with stunning views, so is very peaceful.
