Which area of Sidmouth is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

Woolbrook, located a short walk or bus ride from the town centre, often features independent guesthouses and smaller hotels that provide a comfortable stay without the premium central prices. It's a nice, residential area, great for a quiet night's sleep after a day of exploring.

Alternatively, look for accommodation just off the main seafront promenade. While hotels directly on the seafront can be pricier, venturing a street or two back can reveal more budget-friendly choices.

During these periods, you'll find accommodation prices, particularly for bed and breakfasts and smaller guesthouses, are lower, and there are often deals on local activities due to fewer crowds.

For families, spending a day exploring the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides breathtaking views and opportunities for fossil hunting, which is an exciting and free activity.
