Comfortable double-bed Sidmouth apartment, a minute's easy walk to the seafront

“Shells” is a beautifully presented self-catering apartment, located just off Sidmouth's seafront, less than a minute's walk away from the sea, shops and restaurants, yet tucked away.

Tastefully decorated, the apartment offers a spacious, light and airy lounge with a comfortable corner sofa, TV and DVD player (due to licensing laws, we are not allowed to provide a DVD library but please feel free to bring your own DVDs) books and games for your entertainment. There is also a small dining table and chairs, coffee table and a private balcony with additional seating for outdoor dining.

"Shells" offers a fully equipped kitchen with cooker, washing machine (currently out of order), built-in fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle and small breakfast table with two chairs. We have hopefully thought of everything you would need from crockery, cutlery and glassware.

A very comfortable double bed awaits you with 100% cotton bed linen provided ready and made up for your arrival. The two double wardrobes provide ample storage along with a chest of drawers with mirror. There is also a wall-mounted TV in the bedroom.

There is a modern shower room with electric shower, hand basin, WC, extractor fan and heated towel rail. Quality towels are provided for your comfort.

Night storage heaters and additional electric heaters are provided at no additional cost as well as an extra blanket.

A travel cot, mattress and highchair can be provided free of charge but for older (mobile) children, we believe this apartment is NOT suitable because of the balcony. There is a key to the patio door leading out onto the balcony if you chose to keep this door locked and remove the key but our recommendation is not to accept bookings with toddlers/ children under 13 years old.

For the comfort of other guests, we regretfully cannot accept smokers or pets.

Free on-site parking is available in an allocated space within the secure gated car park at Western Court. Please note: the space is a tight corner spot and may not suit larger cars or people with mobility issues that require a lot of space to exit and enter their car.

Height restriction applies on entry (i.e. not suitable for vans) or roof boxes. Rather than say we don't offer parking, we like to offer this tight space as an option, but also offer free use of a car parking permit for Manor Road Long Stay car park as an alternative but you may wish to make your own arrangements if neither provisions are suitable.

Manor Road Long Stay car park is approximately 600 metres along the coastal road. You can leave the car park at any time but entry back in is restricted in the evenings. Please check the council's information for up-to-date timings and provide us with your car registration number in advance.

If you have issues with access or mobility, please let us know so we can discuss if this is a suitable booking for you.

A lift is available that requires the manual closing of two doors (sometimes described as "heavy" to operate it.

****PLEASE NOTE: As of 13.05.25 the lift is currently only working between the ground and the second floor,,.not stopping at the first floor. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.

For your info, there are 7 steps then a bend then 7 further steps to get you to the first floor.

Or you could take the lift up to the second floor, and walk down if that was an easier option.

In the event of a fire, guests would not be able to use the lift and would therefore need to be able to make their own way out. Please bear this in mind when considering booking any flat not on the ground floor if you have mobility issues.

If you have issues with access or mobility from your car or may struggle to operate the manual sliding lift doors and cannot use the stairs, please let us know as this may not be a suitable booking for you.

Free unlimited WiFi.
