I was walking 3 sections of the South West Coast Path and stayed at ths great friendly hotel for one night. The greeting on arrival at reception was warm especially as I was quite damp from the rain. Shown to a nice clean room which was well heated. The dinner in the evening at Pyne's was very good. It was... More

We wanted a comfortable hotel by the sea as a weekend break for my 92 year old mother who is disabled. The Bedford though not particularly wheelchair friendly suited us very well, our rooms were modern,clean and comfortable, the public areas were a little 'tired'. The food was good but not exceptional, the service was very good friendly without being... More

This hotel has an enviable position very close to the sea. A few of their rooms have stunning views in 3 directions. Sidmouth is a lovely Edwardian town and the hotel was originally a marine library. We stayed for a weekend in March so the beaches were wonderfully wild. We had a B/B and evening meal deal. The food was... More

We booked this hotel as it was not too expensive (especially when you include evening meal, which only added £10 per head to the price and was 4 courses plus coffee and mint) and right by the sea in Sidmouth. We booked a superior double room so we'd have a sea view, and what a view! 4 windows overlooked the... More

Roast Beef on a Sunday is definitely the best I've had. lovely meat, excellent gravy and I think homemade Horseradish. Tried many other places in and around Sidmouth but this is definitely the best. Good views of the Esplanade and sea from all tables in the bar, friendly staff, reasonably priced and best to pre-book!

I'd booked a superior sea view room and was certainly not disappointed. On arrival we were offered complimentary tea or coffee with biscuits. Assistance given with luggage taken to our second floor room (by lift). We dined in the restaurant and experienced the same good service with excellent tasty food. I have no hesitation in recommending this fine hotel and... More
