The hotel is an excellent spot right on the seafront and close to everything Sidmouth has to offer. The rooms are in spotless condition and come with a balcony, and the facilities are top-notch, though the price could be more competitive. The service was exceptional, but the dining options were somewhat limited.

I couldn't have asked for a better location - right on the seafront with a view and close to everything, but the area might be risky for kids. The room with a balcony overlooking the esplanade was just stunning, nicely decorated, and worth the price for such a view.

The hotel offers rooms with wonderful views and a really good shower. The location is perfect right on the seafront, but it can be dangerous for small children. The service from both receptionists I met was excellent. The main restaurant is sadly closed currently. The dining experience included good quality ingredients with their homemade pastries. The hotel facilities are modern and clean, offering comfortable amenities.
