Sidmouth, South West England

Fancy spending Christmas in a delightful thatched cottage on the coast? Reliable, responsible sitter/sitters needed to look after my two adorable spaniels. My recently renovated cottage is extremely comfortable, and within walking distance of the delightful seaside town of Sidmouth. You can walk to Waitrose or Lidl, and walk or catch a bus into Sidmouth town, where you’ll find a host of excellent cafes and restaurants and independent shops. There’s a pebble beach and a cinema. It’s a brilliant place to be, with miles of coastal and heathland walks and wonderful places to visit.
