Self Catering Holiday Cottages In Sidmouth

Sidmouth offers a range of delightful holiday cottages, making it the perfect base for a relaxing escape along the Jurassic Coast.

This charming Regency seaside town is known for its dramatic red cliffs, elegant esplanade and pebble beach. The cottages here capture the town’s timeless appeal, from cosy coastal retreats to more spacious homes with beautiful views across Lyme Bay and the surrounding countryside.

Set between rolling green hills and the sparkling waters of Lyme Bay, Sidmouth also places you within easy reach of some of East Devon’s most picturesque villages. Just a short drive away, Weston, Salcombe Regis, Sidbury, Harcombe and Otterton offer a quieter, more rural setting, with thatched cottages, winding lanes and easy access to countryside walks. They provide the perfect balance for those who would like to enjoy the coast by day and retreat to peaceful surroundings in the evening.

Whether you’re exploring coastal paths, discovering local heritage, or simply unwinding in a characterful cottage, Sidmouth and its nearby villages offer a wonderful blend of coast and countryside for an unforgettable stay.
