Very slow on checking in but just one of those things - I didn't get the impression that was always the case. Comfortable clean but small room. Excellent breakfast.The parking here is limited and tight. Easy walk into Sidmouth.

Brilliant stay at lovely hotel

Great stay for me and my family and two dogs - great location a short walk from Sidmouth front and beach. Friendly, helpful service throughout - particularly from young waitress at breakfast who was so cheery, pleasant and helpful. Really loved Sidmouth and this hotel.

Woodlands

The description of the property was accurate and was clean and welcoming. Unfortunately, our sleep was disturbed evening (11.30 pm) and morning (6.00 am) by the noise of water in the sinks and showers from adjoining rooms, and on the first morning by housekeeping coming into the room whilst still in bed. (8.00 am)

We booked an impromptu couple of nights away and randomly found this wonderful gem of a hotel. Such a friendly, clean and comfortable place to spend the weekend within easy walking distance to the town and seafront. Our room was lovely and clean and the bed was super comfy. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and we had everything we needed. The perfect place to spend a couple of relaxing nights away.

A nice, family run hotel within easy walking distance from the town and the seafront. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Nice garden at the rear of the hotel. Dog friendly. Room was clean and nicely presented,a great shower and good lighting in the bathroom though the room got a bit warm, even with the window open - having a fan available in the room would be a welcome addition. Had a great stay.

Felt like a guest house not an Hotel

Hotel clean and tidy. Nice modern bathroom , just a lack of storage. Service only average. Think hotel is missing a massive trick. NO bar staff ( honesty bar whats all that about ) Lovely conservatory and garden which nobody used while we were there. I know the economy is struggling but at the prices charged per night more staff required

We were given a friendly welcome, shown where the bar, restaurant were. We were in room 2, which was spotlessly clean. Staff were excellent and even though it is dog friendly it did not smell of dogs. There are hens in the garden for fresh eggs. Would certainly stay again. It is a very short walk to the seafront so ideal if you like swimming in the sea.
