We only had a couple of nights here and found the room No.101 - with a sea view and a balcony - was adequate, clean and comfortable. The balcony was very tiny - just enough room for 2 - and it needed a good brush down to remove all the cobwebs. The food was excellent and the staff were very... More

The staff at this hotel really are exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The bathroom had clearly been recently updated. The food is what you might expect from a 4 star hotel. It offers really good value for money.

For 3 years in a row I have brought my (now) 99 year-old mother and my sister (who is suffering from Alzheimer's) to this hotel for a holiday. As well as the glorious position and excellent food, the hotel staff are exceptionally kind and helpful. It is the staff above all who make such an expedition possible, and keep bringing... More

We stayed here for 2 nights last week (April 2013) - the hotel was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the food lovely, and staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay happy. We had a 90 and 91 year old in tow and they too enjoyed their stay. The hotel is centrally positioned and there's lift access... More

We decided to have lunch in the restaurant on a day visit to Sidmouth The Staff were attentive, the service excellent without being overbearing or too formal. The food was freshly cooked, nicely served and we did not feel rushed. Our table looked out onto the seafront and we had a relaxed and enjoyable meal

Besides being and excellent hotel now and enhancing Sidmouth it has an excellent bar and just the place to stop whether it be for morning coffee, afternoon tea or lunch. Try the crab sandwiches they are just superb. Fish and chips are brilliant.

Have just spent an excellent few days at this hotel with friends. The previously known advantages such as good staff attitude, decor and convenience for the seafront were matched by the easy access to the town (surprisingly lively for a winter weekend) lovely floral arrangements and excellent breakfast served by the smiling Dagmar. The complimentary tea/coffee in the lounge was... More
