“Nice house and close to amenities.”

Entrance could do with a ramp to mke life easier for the disabled.

“Lovely property and within 10-15 mins walk to town centre.”

Lots of independent shops and lovely beach promenade. Good location to visit nearby villages of Beer, Seaton etc.

“Delightful house, stylish and comfortable, with plenty of parking and ideally situated for a visit to a very lovely Sidmouth.”

Plenty of kitchenware to make cooking for a large crowd easy, and a lovely dining area to sit and enjoy the company.

“Only thing I would have said is shower mat in both showers, elderly people are more prone to slip.”

“Lovely house in an ideal position.”

Well equipped kitchen. Only thing is that the living room really only comfortably seats 6, fine for us, as there was 6 of us and a toddler.

“We spent a week at Temple House over Christmas and really enjoyed our stay.”

The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The house was comfortable, warm and welcoming after some windy, wet weather. We managed two coastal walks, swimming in the sea on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and a visit to some of the local pubs. Would highly recommend this property.

“Beautiful property renovated to a high standard in a great location, walking distance from the seafront with ample parking.”

Great outdoor space and variety of bedrooms. Kitchen dining room is a fantastic size for larger groups but sitting room is a little small for a larger group to all sit together. Had an issue with the electrics during our stay in bad weather, lost all power and had to isolate one RCD a sit appears the outside lights were causing the issue and Sykes couldn't get maintenance out, unfortunately the issue was unresolved during the remainder of our stay meaning we were left without lighting in the downstairs bathroom & lounge. Only other thing to note was we think it would be a good idea to have a railing on the edge of the patio as its a 3 foot drop to the parking area, we had 4 children in our group and when returning in the summer it would be great not to have to worry about them falling if we spent more time outside. We also didn't use the front door as it was a bit fiddly and awkward to close, this is where the key safe is kept so may be a slight issue to address there, not major as there is another entrance on the opposite side of the house. That's just minor feedback and recommendations and what is otherwise a fantastic property which we have already booked to return to in 2024 :)

“Lovely home.”

Everything you’d need for a holiday. Only suggestion I would make is to put blinds on the loft bedroom en suite for privacy and in the bedroom to keep out the morning sun. Might be nice to have bedside tables in the other bedrooms too. Somewhere for glasses and books to rest. Small details which didn’t spoil our holidays. Lovely location easy to walk into Sidmouth. Would rebook. Thank you.

“Suggest that the top bathroom would benefit from a table or similar as there was nowhere to put wash kits The bathroom tap turned off but about 5 mins later started to run - either a washer problem or water pressure issue.”

The kitchen is one of the best provisioned - loads of crockery and cutlery - perfect

- Julie, July 2023

THank you for your comments which we have discussed with the owner. He will certainly take your comments on board re a table in the bathroom and will check the tap issue this weekend during changeover. We are pleased you enjoyed the kitchen so much. Property Owner

“The property was fantastic.”

The beds were so comfortable. The property it's self was overall clean and well maintained. The kitchen equipment was great I have never stayed at a holiday cottage that had everything that you need. Great Property!

- Susan, June 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Would love to welcome you all back again in the future. Property Owner
Susan April 2023

“Enjoyed our stay at Temple House 2 families and the dogs.”

Garden was lovely with outdoor seating would have sat out more if weather had been better. Need a blind in the double bedroom to save drawing the curtains. Will definitely book again x

- Susan, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. We have a blind on order for the double bedroom and this will be fitted as soon as it arrives. Property Owner

“Beautiful house ideally situated, 15 minute walk to the town and beach.”

There were a few things lacking that would turn this into a five star stay. No parasol outside which is needed. No welcome pack which on enquiring with Sykes had been forgotten about. This contained the wi-fi password which they did send me in a message. Not enough towels for a house sleeping 8. Only 2 tea towels, no place mats or coasters. No full length mirror by a plug to do hair. Top floor bedroom very hot, need fans, the en suite bathroom has no storage/shelves for toiletries ect. Living room needs a coffee table as no where to put a drink. I would expect basic supplies of cleaning items along with tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread etc. Regarding cleanliness it wasn't high standard which I expected considering the cost to stay here. The beds were really comfortable with quality bedding and pillows. I would definitely stay again and would recommend. If the above issues are addressed it would be perfect.

- Julie, July 2022

Thank you for providing your feedback following your stay at Temple House. We have spoken with the owner who is grateful for your comments, as you were the first guests to stay at the property these points raised are really useful. Placemats and coasters will be provided, as will 2 full length mirrors. A fan has already been purchased and placed in the top bedroom. Shelves are planned to be added to the bathroom as is a coffee table for the lounge. Basic supplies such as tea, coffee etc will be replaced for the complimentary prosecco that is normally left for guests. A welcome folder is now provided and the housekeeping issues have been flagged with the cleaners. We really hope to welcome you back to Temple House in the future as it is such a beautiful place to stay. Property Owner

The property

The stunning, four-bedroom, detached holiday home of Temple House can be found in the heart of Devon's popular seaside resort of Sidmouth.

Set along the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Temple House is a great dog-friendly home for a group or family of eight with their canine companion.

Drive up to the six-car driveway and relax on the south-facing patio with your morning coffee.

Step inside your new home, to your left you'll find a spacious double-aspect kitchen/diner with granite countertops, a Smart fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, perfect for whipping up elaborate meals for eight people to enjoy at the dining table with a bottle of champagne.

How about enjoying your meal in the backyard garden on those nicer days?

There is also a Smart TV mounted on the wall so you can watch your shows whenever you like, and the room can be dimmed to set the mood.

Walk through to the living room, where you can kick back on the comfortable couches and watch a movie with your family while snacking on popcorn.

To round out this floor, there is a washer and dryer in the utility room, as well as a convenient cloakroom.

After ascending the stairs illuminated by LED strips installed in the skirting boards, you'll find three luxuriously appointed bedrooms: a super-king-size, a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin, each with its own TV and a sleek shower room perfect for washing off the day's adventures.

The last bedroom is on the second floor, and it's a super-king-size with an attached bathroom (both of which have zone lighting).

Gather your bathing suits, swim trunks, and towels and make a beeline for Sidmouth Beach, where you can relax in the sun, read a book, or try your hand at water sports.

The Courtyard and The Anchor Inn serve up hearty pub classics, while Neil's Restaurant serves up fresh seafood and the White Horse Café serves up light bites; all are welcome in this friendly town.

The Byes, a beautiful park with a stream winding through it, is located within walking distance of Temple House and provides the perfect setting for a relaxing stroll.

The Sidmouth Museum is a great place to learn about the town's history, while a stroll through the Blackmore Gardens or a round of golf at the Sidmouth Golf Club are both enjoyable diversions.

Hikers will enjoy the beautiful Sidmouth Countryside, which is part of the National Trust and where the fascinating Norman Locker Observatory with a planetarium can be found.

You can spend the day at the beach or on a scenic walk along the Haven Cliffs, or you can continue on to Seaton.

Here you can visit the 2,000-year-old vaulted Beer Quarry Caves, Pecorama, with its award-winning miniature railway and gardens, or the Seaton Tramway for a scenic 3-mile ride.

Exeter Cathedral, the Underground Passages, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, and the Barley Valley Nature Reserve can all be found nearby.

Temple House, located in Sidmouth is a wonderful base for exploring the wonders of Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
