At Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays, we’re always looking for ways to help our guests experience the very best of the South West—and we’re thrilled to have partnered with the South West 660, a spectacular coastal driving route that showcases the most stunning and diverse landscapes the region has to offer.
The full route runs for 660 miles from Poole in Dorset to Watchet in Somerset, hugging the South West coastline and revealing hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, charming seaside towns and unforgettable views at every turn.
We’re proud to be based along Route 3, which covers the beautiful stretch between Lyme Regis to Exeter, a journey packed with coastal charm, maritime heritage, and foodie delights.
Route 3 of the South West 660 offers an unforgettable journey along the East Devon and South Devon coastline, taking in the dramatic red cliffs of the Jurassic Coast, sandy beaches, river estuaries and picturesque harbours. It’s the perfect combination of scenic driving and immersive exploration—with plenty of chances to hop out, breathe the sea air, and enjoy the slower pace of life that Devon is known for.
Whether you’re a walker, a wild swimmer, a paddleboarder, or simply someone who loves a good cream tea by the water, there’s something for everyone on this route.
Our hand-picked holiday cottages are dotted along Route 3, offering everything from cosy coastal apartments to stylish family homes—perfect for stopping off and soaking up the surroundings. Each property is a base to rest, recharge and explore more of this stunning section of the South West 660.
Here are a few of our favourite stopovers:
Each of our properties is locally managed with care, and we’re always here to help with recommendations, whether it’s where to get the best fish and chips or which coastal walk offers the best sunset views.
The joy of the South West 660 is that it’s not about rushing. It’s about savouring—the views, the food, the experience. Staying in one of our cottages allows you to slow down and explore at your own pace. Take a dip in the sea before breakfast. Watch the tide roll in from your window. Or plan your next stop while enjoying a glass of something local.
We’re proud to support this exciting route and to share our part of Devon with new and returning visitors. So, pack the car, bring your walking boots, and let Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays be part of your South West 660 story.
