Goviers Cottage is set in the Regency town of Sidmouth just 600 yards from the beach. The two superbly appointed apartments within Goviers Cottage, Ada and Jula, were sympathetically converted in 2022 from the upper floors of the famous Goviers China Shop which closed in 2019 after 105 years of trading. The current owners of the property ran the business for over 35 years.
