Marnie's View is a first-floor seafront apartment in Sidmouth, Devon, sitting directly opposite the beach on Lyme Bay. The position here is exceptional, with sea views from the lounge and both bedrooms and the esplanade right on your doorstep.

Sidmouth is a Regency town with independent shops, galleries, boutiques, a theatre and plenty of eateries. The beach is literally across the road for swimming and bucket-and-spade days. Behind the apartment sits the town's cricket ground where free deckchairs are available when matches aren't on.

The apartment sleeps 4 guests across two bedrooms, a king-size room and a twin room, both with sea views. There's one family shower room with WC. The kitchen is especially well-equipped with an electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and a De'Longhi Dolce Gusto coffee machine. The kitchen diner has two bay windows with window seats.

Crealy Theme Park is 9.5 miles away. The town centre, theatre, cafés and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.

Marnie's View suits small families and two couples perfectly. Sea views, a beach opposite and a walkable Regency town make this a genuinely hard-to-beat coastal base.
