Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage received positive remarks for cosiness, but some guests noted the need for a deeper clean in the kitchen and the tidying of bins and bath by previous occupants, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town, seafront, and local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring Seaton and nearby attractions.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, though some experienced initial issues with heating. The steep stairs were mentioned as a potential discomfort for some.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-received heating system and garden space. However, there were comments about the need for clearer instructions for parking and heating, and suggestions for better maintenance.
The owner's thoughtfulness is noted with the provision of a welcome gift. However, as gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, this aspect is appreciated but not expected.
About this property
Offering timelessly charming, sumptuous interiors brimming with original characterful features that’ll transport you to centuries past, this vibrant cosy cottage is the perfect spot for couples and families to retire to after adventuring around the Jurassic Coast, uncovering the sandy beaches, charming towns and scenic footpaths this part of East Devon is famous for.
Exposed brickwork, a striking ornamental fireplace, periodic features and a rich, sumptuous colour palette in the lounge/diner create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere that invites you to hunker down on the plush sofa with your four-legged friends at your feet and catch the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV. Answer the call of hungry tummies in the contemporary galley-style kitchen by rustling up a family feast with the delicious local produce you’ve collected. Climb the winding cottage staircase to find a beautifully presented bedroom on the first floor that features some stunning exposed brickwork, or head up to the second floor to gaze wistfully across the rooftops from the comfort of the charming window seat in the second bedroom tucked beneath the eaves. Soak up your salty seaside air by dining alfresco on the patio in the enclosed courtyard.
Fall in love with coastal living at the charming seaside haven of Seaton; while away an afternoon skimming stones at its mile-long beach (0.5 miles), explore the coastline from its best watery angle by hiring a kayak or paddleboard to journey around the bay or simply enjoy a scenic stroll along the far-reaching esplanade behind the beach. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path within half a mile of the cottage to be rewarded with breathtakingly beautiful sea views whilst children and families can dive into the history of the area by boarding the gauge tram railway (0.5 miles) to follow a scenic 3-mile riverside route.

Mrs Cole
We had a lovely little holiday in Bluebell cottage. Great location in Seaton, just a few minutes walk to the shops, pubs and seafront with the added bonus of the car park just behind. Had a bit of confusion with the parking permit but that was soon sorted out for us. Great base to travel to nearby places like Beer, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Bridport to name just a few. The cottage is lovely and cosy, comfy sofas and beds however the stairs really are steep and would be a challenge to young children and people with mobility issues. The garden was a nice plus too, shame the lack of sun didn’t allow us to sit out in it but we still really enjoyed our stay

Cosy cottage in a great location with a short walk into town and the beach. Beds were very comfortable. Garden was very pretty to sit in as well. Stairs are steep, there is a handrail, but for awareness it isn't suitable for small children or those with mobility problems. Kitchen could do with a deep clean.
