We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in May 2012. Had a really lovely time. The staff were all very helpful and very pleasant. The food was excellent with really good dining room service for all meals. We will certainly return to this very comfortable and friendly hotel. More

room 322 2nd-5th march 2012, location is ideal, right on the sea front and a stride from the town also a good base for visiting surrounding areas and countryside. ALL the staff we came into contact with were friendly smiling, helpful and polite, majority from central/eastern Europe they certainly know how to treat people. the management appeared to have good...

We spent an enjoyable time at this rater quaint old hotel with very good facilities, including a Spa, and very friendly and polite staff. The tables in the restaurant were too close together, but this was not a problem for us, as we went to dinner at 8pm and everyone else had almost finished their meal by then!!! The afternoon... More

We stayed in Sidmouth for two nights. This is our fifth visit to this hotel and as usual the service and facilities are superb. Our room was on the top floor with stunning views of the sunrises and sunsets as all of their sea front rooms are. None of the rooms are the same however as each has its own... More

We however feel that the Silver Award (Visit Britain) and 80%... More

The hotel is on the seafront and our sea-view room was clean & comfortable. The staff were very efficient & always pleasant and helpful. The food varied from good to superb - the cakes at the included afternoon tea are especially good. I can only assume that it is only rated as 2 stars, because it lacks facilities like a... More

We stayed here for Christmas and it is really good value for money. We have stayed here before, so did know what to expect from the hotel. This time we had a second floor family room at the back of the hotel, which was spacious and comfortable. We had views over towards the hills, the only real noise being the... More

Fabulous New Year break. Smallish room on the third floor but very clean and comfortable. Mattresses and linen very acceptable. Excellent food (outstripping the 2star rating) and the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and polite. Really convenient location and good value. More
