About this property

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/older children.

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.

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.

In the interest of everyone's safety, we are asking everyone to answer the following questions before they book if the arrival date is imminent and more importantly, leading up to their stay:
*In the last 2 weeks, have you or anyone you live with traveled to any areas that have been impacted by COVID-19?
*Have you been diagnosed with, or suspect that you have contracted COVID-19?
*Do you currently have any travel restrictions in your area due to COVID-19?

Comfortable apartment, close to seafront and town
This is a lovely small apartment tucked away behind one of the seafront hotels. Everything you need and a very helpful owner. Choice of quite tight parking on site or free use of large long stay carpark a few minutes walk away. Unless going further afield you don't need your car as everything is so close to the apartment. Great for a short stay.

Comfortable & ideally positioned.
The property is ideally positioned for the Promenade, shops and bus. Just minutes to all. It is behind the Riviera Hotel which is high class and faces the Promenade. This flat has a balcony and very nice airy living room. The bedroom although having no view is very quiet at night which is a bonus as hotel life starts early and can disturb sleep.

About the host

Hosted by Mirella Penston

Host profile image
We are a family of three who came on holiday to Sidmouth one year and decided to up-sticks from Cambridge about 5 years ago and move to the area. "You can't go wrong with Sidmouth" was how it was sold to me and they weren't wrong.

Why they chose this property

Shells is in an ideal location. Less than a minute's walk to the seafront, shops and restaurants.

Shells is well-equipped and tastefully decorated. The apartment offers comfortable living with separate bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom, giving you the space to move freely and enjoy your stay.

We have received great reviews in the Visitors Book and have racked up many glowing reviews from other sites rating an impressive 5 out of 5.

Shells has been described as a "hidden gem" and hope you will feel the same way about it. We are happy to answer any questions you may have!
