A lovely hotel with period features. A high standard of housekeeping and an excellent breakfast. Our only regret was that we were only there for one night.

Excellent comfortable base for exploring the area
Quite an old building but every room is unique and full of character and maintained in excellent order. The staff work as a team and it shows in the polished service on offer. Special commendation to Maxine for her tips on where to visit.

The owners were very friendly and helpful and run a well organised small hotel.We would recommend to family and friends without hesitation. Only and only a small downside we would have preferred choice of time for dinner rather than a set time of 7pm. However this would not stop us from returning in the future.

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.

Best thing was the friendly and helpful staff, and nice food, but a bit overpriced. ( dinner £35). No food available midday, not even bar snacks. Comfortable bed but furnishings and furniture in our room very random, ill-matched and tired-looking, wood-chip wallpaper, too many cushions! No fancy toiletries as promised, just hand wash and shower gel, cramped shower room. I would not describe this hotel as “ boutique “ which suggests fashionable and sophisticated, it definitely wasn’t, we were somewhat disappointed.

Great find in Sidmouth
A lovely hotel- immaculate inside - a lot of thought gone into the decor. Friendly welcoming hosts . Only one thing in the single room there wasn’t space for a bedside lamp/ table and the light switch for the room was by the door and the bathroom light above the bed! Overall a delightful place.

Cannot fault this hotel. We were made very welcome - the hotel is spotlessly clean - food in the restaurant was excellent - they take Coronavirus seriously and we felt safe in the hotel at all times - will definitely return.
