With parking for a medium sized car and a private courtyard garden it is a perfect base for a holiday in glorious Sidmouth, and from this year you can now bring your beloved dog to join in the fun.

The style of Red Rose is classic and comfortable. A place to relax, sit back and enjoy your break. Our cottage is furnished and equipped to provide comfort, with everyday essentials and so much more.

It has a smart TV, books, DVDs and games to keep you entertained, and a really good WiFi connection.

The sleeping arrangements are flexible and the second floor bedroom has a choice between a super king or two singles and feather or hollow fibre pillows. With quality bed linen and towels included to make your break that little bit easier to enjoy.

The welcome pack is our way to get your holiday off to a good start, and we have details of places to go, suggestions about where to eat and drink and a whole collection of other ideas. We know that many people are return visitors to Sidmouth so any fresh ideas for us and our guests are always welcome.

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!

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.

Lovely property in great location

The house and Sidmouth were lovely. House very comfortable. Access road to property is narrow, and drive not big enough for 4x4 but parking close by, including High Street which is free from Saturday 6pm until Monday 10am. Richard was a great host.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Lockwood

Host profile image
We just love Sidmouth! Having been frequent visitors for many years the charm of Sidmouth never faded, the appeal only increased. Spending time in the town and surrounding area is always pleasant, on a bright November day, enjoying an ice cream in the summer or having a potter through the streets leading up to Christmas - every season in Sidmouth is a pleasure.

Why they chose this property

Having looked at many properties in Sidmouth we just knew that Red Rose was ideal when we walked through the door. A courtyard garden that gets the sun, three bright bedrooms, right in the heart of Sidmouth. The bonus of a parking space, the secluded yet central location. It was just what we were looking for.

We wanted a holiday cottage that was homely and comfortable. Where the furniture was chosen because we think it looks well together, not because it had become redundant in someone else's home, the little things matter.

In January 2022, we had new carpets throughout, and a walk in shower refit in the bathroom - and having road tested it, I can honestly say it is perfect!

We really hope that you enjoy looking at the cottage, and if you choose to stay that you have a really good time in comfortable, relaxing surroundings.
