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.

A great village location not far from Sidmouth. We'll equipped property with many personal touches to ensure a 'home away from home'.

Lovely cottage in a good position in a very friendly village.
Mrs Derry October 2017
St. Giles Cottage is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. As we were there in October when the evenings can be chilly it was good that the owners did not restrict the heating at all. The cottage is in a peaceful location from which it is ideal to explore East Devon. We had not visited this area before and particularly liked Beer and Sidmouth and enjoyed a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary where there is a lovely restaurant. ...

Delightfully restored old Devon cottage in the middle of a very pretty village and in a perfect location for visiting so may nice coastal towns, (Barrow Hill Farm Gardens is well worth a visit and crab sandwiches on Beer beach a real treat!).
