We loved this hotel. For starters its situated in beautiful gardens just off the Byes river walk yet still within walking distance of Sidmouth sea front. It's easy to find, parking is free with electric chargers. As you enter this Georgian house there's a real wow factor. Impressive architecture with high ceilings and beautiful furnishings. Large lounge and dining room. Our room was immaculately clean and pleasantly decorated. En-suite was like new! Powerful walk in shower. Crisp white linen bedding and fluffy towels. Had the most comfortable bed and very quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food delicious. Wonderful yummy English breakfasts with fresh fruit salads, croissants, etc. What more can I say? I'm still waxing lyrical. We met a couple who have been visiting this family hotel for 60 years! an impressive accolade. Thanks Martyn, Julie and staff for making our Silver Wedding Anniversary such a memorable occasion. PS When visiting Sidmouth check out the Toy and Model Museum - good fun.
