We had a sea view room accessed via lift. All the staff are polite and approachable nothing is too much to ask. The ocean waves lulled us to sleep and woke us ready for a new day. The town of Sidmouth is quaint by modern standards which only adds to it charm. A return visit is very likely. Many thanks Sidmouth.

We liked the friendly staff at breakfast. The breakfast was very good. But we didn’t like being told we could not park in an empty space in the car park because it was ‘reserved ‘. This was puzzling as we booked the hotel because it was advertised as having free car parking. So this is deceptive. Later we found out that ‘ reserved’ meant customers who booked direct with the hotel rather than online. Not sure if this is correct but it wasn’t the friendly welcome we had hoped for.

Lovely staff. Clean room. Good food. Great location. Breakfast was fab. Fish and chips in Dukes next door (part of the hotel chain)was amazing. But the bedroom was so hot. No radiator or towel rail were on but the room was like a sauna. Slept on top of bed with window wide open but very hot all night!

The room was very basic and cheap looking with net curtains 8inc too short and a filthy radiator! The tv kept cutting out the tv reception was terrible! The shower flooded the bathroom and when l reported it to reception l was told there was no other room available and the man on reception bought some towels and mopped up the sodden floor with them and said to take the drainage filter out when using the shower in future . I told him about the other issues we had with the room and he said there was nothing he could do and left!

Room was cramped, furniture was shabby and I didnt find it particularly clean. Bed and pillows very uncomfortable. Requested different pillows but they weren't any better. Expected more for £170 a night ! Left an initial review, on our first morning, commenting on this. Was told manager would get this feedback but didn't here anything. Had to go and buy new pillows for the second night. On the plus side the hotel is close to seafront and amenities. Also the staff at breakfast were lovely, even though they were struggling with low staffing levels. Even so, would not stay here again.

Certainly comfortable , clean and in a fine position on the seafront. For such a reputable hotel I found some things disappointing. The reception welcome was efficient but lacking warmth and friendliness and breakfast was only average. I don't think you should be expected to wait more than 20 minutes for a fried egg on toast, nor have to ask for toast and marmalade - a miserly small jar was meant to be spread over 4 pieces. Unfortunately, these small quibbles came on top of a horrific evening spent with a band providing non- stop drum beating from 8-10.30 adjacent to our room, preventing our reading, watching television or opening a window for fresh air. We sadly won't be returning in a hurry!

Dated room and en suite with no fridge. Other hotels at this price point offer a more modern room. 10.30 checkout is too early when on holiday. We were harassed to leave the room by 10.40. Very good cooked breakfast delivered quickly by polite restaurant staff. Great location on the Sidmouth seafront. Beware of the dive bombing and thieving seagulls.
