An amazing stay at Richard’s place. The house was everything anyone could want and more! Perfectly equipped, facilities were outstanding. Location was perfect! Parking was a slight challenge but after a few attempts I managed to get onto the driveway!

Exceptionally clean and more than fully equipped for an enjoyable stay. The host was very informative and helpful. It is in a great location for enjoying Sidmouth. The parking is a little difficult and we did park in the car park at the bottom if the road for part of our stay, but still convenient.

Thank you Yvonne, I am so sorry that you had some trouble with parking, I understand that one of the utility company's had to make an emergency repair, and that the road was closed for a while. Please do come and stay with us again, and thank you for looking after Red Rose Cottage for us during your stay. regards Richard

Ideal home to stay in Sidmouth

The house was in a perfect location - a few minutes walk to the beach and the shops - but away from the hustle and bustle. Spotlessly clean, easy to communicate with the owners and everything you could need was in the home for a perfect relaxing break!

It is obvious Richard (the host) really wants those who stay at this cottage to have the perfect time. He has made such an effort to provide every comfort above and beyond the standard. Everything you could want is available and the welcome gifts including home baked cake were a lovely touch. The property itself is immaculately clean, spacious and with well stocked kitchen. Above all the cottage is very central with a short walk to the front. We had a wonderful 2 weeks - thanks Richard!The only potential challenge is the parking. In itself parking so centrally in Sidmouth is at a premium so this is great, but be aware you will need to be a confident driver to reverse into the space and only with a medium sized car. I was pretty good by the end of our stay, but the first time took me a little time!

Thank you for your stunning review, Sean, it is always a pleasure to have families stay with us who look after our property so well, and to acknowledge what a lovely stay they had in a review is fantastic. I am delighted that you managed to get your car on the driveway, I agree that good reversing skills do help – with a wry smile I usually blame the access design for all six cottages in the row on the Edwardian building planners - although to be fair, back in 1905 when Red Rose was built, there was probably not much call for motor vehicle access, and to their credit, they did create a very pretty little backwater away from the hustle and bustle of the high street! It was lovely to meet you and your family and your adorable dog, please do come and stay with us at Red Rose Cottage again, you would be very welcome.

Fantastic find and a great base.

The house was fantastic with everything you could wish for from a holiday rental. It is located in the centre of Sidmouth and provides an excellent base for local days out. There is plenty to do in Sidmouth and we really enjoyed how close it was to the sea front, only a 5 minute walk. It was a fantastic find and one that we hope to book again in the future.
