Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays is a locally based self-catering agency focusing on East Devon. Established over 35 years ago with just a handful of cottages, the company has grown to the point where we now successfully market a wide variety of properties throughout the region. From the start we were determined to build up a reputation for offering only the best of properties. The company has grown, but everyone involved still holds true to the combination of commitment and professionalism that is the foundation of the company's success. Family run to this day, we are still able to offer that personal service which sadly in today's ever increasing pace of life can sorely fall by the wayside.

The location is often described by visitors to this area as "idyllic". The outstanding beauty, on one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of rural Devon on the Jurassic Coast, is now recognised internationally as a World Heritage Site. Branscombe beach is dog friendly year round, so a perfect spot to holiday with your four legged friend!

Branscombe is the ideal place for a coastal holiday, come to Branscombe, with that 'away from it all' feeling, yet only 6 miles from the resort of Sidmouth. A truly picturesque setting, the wooded valley nestling behind high cliffs with slate roofed and thatched colour-washed cottages lining its single road as it winds its way past the ancient church, the Post Office, Old Smithy and the thatched Inn, to the sea at Branscombe Mouth. Guests can explore the Jurassic Coast whilst enjoying stunning walks in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The South West Coast Path. The Donkey Sanctuary, Crealy and Pecorama are all nearby for fun filled days with the kids. There are a wide range of activities nearby, from Paddleboarding and water skiing to Golf at Sidmouth Golf Club. Sidmouth and the nearby local towns have a wealth of independent boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, including Otterton Mill and Lympstone Manor. There are two pubs within walking distance, The Fountain Head and The Masons Arms, along with the Sea Shanty shop and cafe on Branscombe Beach.
