  We have stayed in A LOT of self-catering cottages over the years and have never been as satisfied or impressed with the attention to detail than at Sovereign. It was only 2 main rooms but they were of good size and were very well laid out; the kitchen was well equipped with the essentials without being overstocked (including sharp knives - we always take our own and they were not needed!), there were also a few provisions (oil, s&p, tissues, cling film, foil, enough dishwasher tablets/washing up liquid, and some comp biscuits!), and a whole empty cupboard to put our own food in which is so often overlooked, it also has a full size fridge freezer which again is not often thought about by many places which just sleep 2, the ice cube trays were also full which meant we were able to have a lovely cold G&T on arrival. Everything was were you thought it should be and well laid out. Shoe racks and coat hooks too. Bed was super comfy, as were the pillows and a lovely squidgy warm duvet - with spare blankets if needed. Only downside (sorry, there has to be something!) was the 'bedside lights' being spotlights - these didn't work for us as not calming and quite bright so would suggest angle-poised bedside table lights. Plenty of clothes space and hangers. Shower was lovely - rainfall head could be angled, and the water temp was great and on demand which helped me to warm up after a paddle board and swim (no wetsuit!). Great location - Seaton was a lovely little seaside town with enough things 'going for it'. A lot of restaurants were closed on the Sunday as 'out of season' but we managed to get a take away pizza from the kebab shop which was REALLY tasty. Great brunch from Coast too - would recommend. Car park was a little further away than we thought it would be (5mins not 2) and it took a bit of thinking to find the cottage, but not a big deal. I quite liked not having the car staring at us, it meant we explored more locally which we might not have done otherwise. We did the tram which was excellent fun, bimbled in the shops in Seaton, did Sidmouth with a local friend, spent time on the beaches, did Beer - all very lovely. We were pleased to notice that customer feedback had been listened to - there is now a full length mirror. Would absolutely stay here again if in the area.

  We’ve just spent a week at this lovely apartment and really enjoyed our stay. Was a bit difficult to find initially but once we knew where we were going it was fine! Another reviewer suggested parking in the Aldi car park and walking through and this is a great suggestion as you can park for 90 mins, unload and then move to the car park (there are a choice of car parks that can be used but we always used Orchard Road). The location is great though with a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants etc.within walking distance. The apartment was very well equipped with everything you could need for a stay. The bed was super comfy and the shower was great. As the property had been empty for a few days before we arrived the heating had been turned off and because the apartment has storage heaters that heat up over night it was cold and took a day or two to warm up but there were throws to keep us warm and the owner did kindly offer a heater (which we should have accepted!). Seaton is quiet in March so limited options for eating out in the evening especially from Monday to Wednesday but all the food we had was excellent. Enjoyed the walk to Beer and traveled to Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Bridport. The Seaton tram was lovely but found there wasn’t much to do in Axminster! All in all a lovely relaxing week!

  The apartment was in excellent decorative order and was well cleaned.

  The 'welcome bag' was useful and well thought out. The dual sea view from inside and the balcony outside was a main attraction for us and did not disappoint. Just a couple of points for future thought, 1. It would be nice to have a small table for drinks/nibbles between the two excellent reclining chairs at the main lounge window. 2. The outside balcony furniture is not up to the standard of the rest of the apartment - pretty uncomfortable. 3. The 20 degree thermostat setting ( asked not to adjust - so we did not) meant that the heating did not come on in the evening no matter what the radiator settings - so the apartment felt cold in the evenings. Overall we had a great stay in a great apartment which we would recommend to friends. Many thanks John & Margaret

  This is a fantstic holiday home, Tina the owner went to great lengths to make it as clean and safe as possible and thought of everything.

  Gorgeous view and a great area for watersports and relaxing on the beach, lovely to walk along the front or get a boat trip just a stone throw away. Flat itself is beautifully presented but fairly compact for a family of four. Parking is a bit tricky as the Edge Watersports shop below like to spread out their equipment and often need to be asked if they can move their van, paddleboards, kayaks etc so you can park but they were ever so friendly and helpful and are moving to bigger premises next summer. The cafe below is fab for breakfasts and the staff are really friendly. Highly recommend hiring kayaks and paddleboards from Edge Watersports as we all really enjoyed it as well as a bit of sea fishing!

  A well presented property in a great location. Nice neutral decoration with a good size bedroom and nice shower room. Kitchen was well equipped. Directions and details on finding and accessing the property were very good and the communication was good. The staff in the local pubs were very friendly and all those we visited were dog friendly, with our dog getting quite a few biscuits! Just to add for those travelling with pets our dog struggled on the stones in the courtyard so we needed to walk to the top of the town for some grass (note two of the parks don't allow dogs and the beach is pebble although dogs are allowed).
