Little Hollies is a ground-floor annexe for two in Sidford, East Devon, sitting on a quiet lane next to the owner's bungalow. It's a genuinely peaceful spot with countryside and garden views, refurbished to a high standard and managed personally by Sara. No hot tub here but plenty else to love.

Sidford sits just 2.5 miles from Sidmouth, a Regency seaside town on the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Walk there via The Byes Riverside Walk a 2-mile route through parkland, flower meadows and fields alongside the water. Sidmouth's Blue Flag beach is easily reached by foot, bike or the regular bus service.

Inside you get a well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and cafetière, a cosy sitting room with TV and games and wall-wide floor-to-ceiling patio doors opening onto an enclosed rear courtyard with BBQ, table and chairs. The king-size double bedroom has a bow window. One bathroom with bath and shower over.

Nearby: Sidmouth Esplanade (2.5 miles), Connaught Gardens (2.5 miles), the South West Coast Path and Beer village (7 miles/15 mins). One dog is welcome.

Little Hollies suits couples wanting a quiet, well-equipped base in East Devon with great walking and coast on the doorstep.
