Where to stay in Sidmouth
The right base depends on your crew: couples tend to love a cottage with a view, families get the most from a holiday park's pools and kids' clubs, and campers and caravanners are spoilt for choice. We list them side by side here, with live links through to each operator to book.
When to go
Book early for August — the best-located stays go months in advance. Shoulder season (May–June and September–October) is when regulars travel: quieter beaches and attractions, softer prices, same scenery.
Frequently asked questions

Outside school holidays — typically late September to early May. Many stays cost 30–50% less than in August, and attractions are quieter too.
