Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Sidmouth (7mls N), Devon

Nestled in the South Devon countryside, enjoy the idyllic walking trails, the local produce from the nearby bustling seaside towns and the postcard-perfect golden beaches of the iconic Jurassic Coast surrounding this glorious lodge that you simply won't be able to help but fall in love with. Boasting a high wood-clad ceiling, a colour palette of natural earthy tones and plenty of glorious sunlight, the open-plan living/kitchen/dining room sets a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere that reflects the tranquillity of the surrounding scenery, allowing you to experience true peace and serenity after a long day exploring the Jurassic Coast or South Devon countryside. Get creative with the local produce you've collected in the farmhouse-style kitchen, enjoy wonderfully green views through the large picture window seated around the rustic dining table or fire up the wood burner to soothe weary walking muscles as you unwind on the comfy leather sofa.

When you can't resist the call of bedtime, you have two beautifully presented bedrooms to retire to for a well-deserved rest. Indulge in some beautiful views overlooking the River Otter by dining alfresco on the decking beneath the stylish pergola whilst children explore the enclosed lawn and all-in-one play area. Sitting along the beautiful Jurassic Coast, Sidmouth offers everything you'd expect to find at a Regency seaside resort; stunning landscaped gardens, a sandy beach dominated by a vivid red sandstone cliff and a host of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site by enjoying the myriad of walking trails in and around the town, or join up with the South West Coast Path to reach the picturesque villages of Branscombe (10.5 miles) and Seaton (12.5 miles). Take a leisurely stroll along Sidmouth's beachside esplanade before whiling away the afternoon relaxing on Sidmouth Beach just under 9 miles away.
