“What stands out is the hotel's commitment to catering to everyone, even offering a dedicated dining space for guests with dogs; plus, its position right on Sidmouth seafront guarantees beautiful views of Lyme Bay. Its rich history as a family-run establishment also creates a distinct atmosphere, especially during seasonal dining experiences. I think it is a charming base for exploring the Jurassic Coast.”

Acceptable Stay
nice variety excellent location parking challenge blocked door
The breakfast had a nice variety. I tried both the English breakfast and the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.. I found them quite good. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to shops and just across the road from the beach.
Parking presented a challenge, it is beyond the hotel's control. We were also unaware of decoration work upon arrival, it blocked the main door. This situation would have been difficult if I were older or had many bags to carry.
