Description from manager

Description

The beauty of Heydons House is that it is set in a peaceful area yet within a 5 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.

Being subject to some refurbishment (kitchen and living room) in February 2022, the cottage furnished to a very comfortable standard 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 with Aga. There is also a separate oven and hob. The kitchen was fully refurbished in Feb 2022.

From the kitchen, patio doors lead to a lovely sunny courtyard where you can stretch out in private or dine al fresco. There is even room for the kids to play in complete safety.

The cottage offers the best of both worlds. The energetic will love the pretty and romantic walks that Sidmouth and East Devon provide. Those just wanting to relax, unwide and take in the sea air can do so without the need of a car. By contrast if you want to get out and about, Sidmouth is very well located for everything Devon has to offer.

This is a wonderful and unique Sidmouth cottage to rent in Sidmouth that is adaptable to suit all needs and requirements.

Response from the manager Thank you for the review. The garage is perfectly fine to use - the street is quite narrow though so it takes a few turns to manoeuvre in. Or you can just park 100 yards up the street where we also have access to a parking space. I left the day before you arrived. The cottage was looking immaculate and the kitchen had actually just had a make over. - with a new oven / hob (to accompany the aga), fridge and freezer. We have new bed linen and new towels. The cottage isn't brand new but I can 100% reassure you that it gets a huge amount of TLC. It is my pride and joy. Both myself and my housekeeper are extremely precious about it and I'm constantly keeping it updated and as comfortable for my guests as possible. I did ask you where you felt the cottage needed further TLC but you did not reply. We welcome all constructive feedback and where the feedback is appropriate it will definitely be acted on. I feel a 3 star review for the cottage is harsh but respect your opinion. I urge people to read previous reviews and make up their own mind. I am also very sure the next reviews will be back up to the 4 / 5 star level the cottage is deserving of.
