Finding Sand

By Car:

Sand is located in the village of Sidbury in East Devon.
From the area of London (approx. 3 hours), take the M3, then the A303 and A30 to Honiton, before joining the A375 to Sidbury.

From Exeter (30 minutes), follow the A30 east and then the A375.

If you approach from Dorset, your map will tell you to turn left off of Seaton Road onto Roncombe Hill - please ignore this and follow Seaton Road to its end, where you will turn left and follow the A375 to Sidbury (see map)

You will see a brown sign for Sand on the approach to Sidbury, and a second brown sign on a tight junction where you need to turn left to find the house.

Free on-site parking is available.

What a wonderful place and experience to stay at that beautiful house. Matt and team have been fantastic and made us feel part of the history. The gardens are beautiful, even if it rains. Would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone

Such a special experience staying at Sand. Beautiful historic house refurbished with respect for it's history. Surrounded by nature. I would think any season is great to visit, so pick your favorite season. We are definitely recommending Sand.

What a hidden gem, beautifully restored manor house in peaceful grounds, wonderful host and delightful tasty breakfast I felt like a mediaeval lord! Very comfortable beds and cosy rooms. We will be back for sure!
