About this property
1½ miles from the little village of Sidbury in beautiful rolling farmland is The Old Stable, a neatly converted dairy with an upside down layout. On the first floor, making the most of the super rural views, is a lofty open-plan living space, with exposed roof trusses, a wood burning stove, neat fitted kitchen and French windows to the balustrade. There are two ground floor bedrooms a twin (zip-linkable to 6' double in request) and a double, each with a trim en suite shower-room. To the side is an enclosed terrace and rough lawned garden with a table and chairs. If you'd like to pitch in, it may be possible to help on the neighbouring farm by arrangement with the friendly owners. Sidbury has a good pub and shop, so you don't need to go far for your holiday provisions. Nearby, you can skip stones across the water at Sidmouth, or stroll along the handsome esplanade. Take in the beautiful gardens at Bicton, or for family fun Crealy Adventure Park near Exeter is sure to be a hit with younger guests. This is a lovely part of East Devon, and The Old Stable is an ideal base from which to explore it.

It was spotlessly clean, well equipped with every home comfort you could wish for and we appreciated the welcome gifts of flowers, milk and biscuits. We had read previous reviews that mentioned that the access road might present problems for cars that were low, but as we had an ordinary car we didnât think that it would be an issue for us. We expected all the potholes once we drove onto the rough track from the road, but there is one particular section just as the track divides (you go left for access to the old stable and another residence) that really could do with being filled in to make it easier to negotiate the turn - I dreaded the âclunk/scrapeâ to the bottom of my car every time I drove in or out of this particular section. The old stable is in a beautiful peaceful setting, and within easy reach of all the areas that this area of the country is famous for. We absolutely loved the donkey sanctuary, which is just a few miles away.
