Self Catering Holiday Cottages Exmouth

Exmouth is home to a wonderful range of holiday cottages, perfect for a classic seaside break with two miles of golden sand right on your doorstep.

Known for its wide, sandy beach and lively Marina, Exmouth offers an array of properties within easy reach of the seafront — ideal for water sports, family holidays, or peaceful strolls beside the sea. From traditional seaside cottages tucked into the town’s older streets to modern homes with sweeping sea views, there’s a perfect spot for everyone, whether you’re after a cosy bolthole for two or a spacious base for the whole family.

Exmouth also marks the western gateway to the Jurassic Coast, so you’re superbly placed for coastal walks, estuary cycling and exploring East Devon’s Natural Landscapes. Days here can be as active or as relaxed as you like — paddleboarding and sailing one morning, an unhurried breakfast by the water the next.

Whether you’re looking for a vibrant seaside holiday or a quiet retreat within earshot of the waves, our Exmouth cottages offer the ideal home base for your stay.
