    The swimming pool is heated to 26 degrees, so really pleasant. The cottage is about ten miles from Sidmouth but it states that it is about 6.5 miles, on the website. There are some very nice restaurants nearby. A very good venue for a holiday.

    The cottage is well located for visiting the coast or inland. Although the kitchen is compact it worked for us and had everything we required.

  • "Really great holiday at Broadclyst Cottage."

    The owner was very welcoming, with useful info sent in advance. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (including fast wifi). The pool was fun, and the timetable system meant we had 2 x 120 minute sessions per day. The field for letting our dog off lead was useful. It was our first long trip with an electric car, and we found rapid charging points a short drive away at Exeter Morrisons and at the pub opposite Exeter Aldi.
