10/10 Excellent
"The single room was fine and reasonable value (the doors do shut loudly). The staff were all very friendly, helpful and impressive (excepting one rather sour lady behind the bar!). They were very polite and kind, it makes a big difference to how you feel about a hotel. The food was really good and not expensive, excellent value. The drinks selection was extensive. There's plenty of outside seating. All in all, I definitely recommend the hotel and would happily stay there again."

"Perfect location for another of our short Theatre stays in Sidmouth, we had a great stopover which also included a dip in the sea just over the road from the hotel. Our room was perfect, (we have stayed in this room previously) lovely large comfy bed, super clean and equipped bathroom, shower pressure was a little low maybe due to the weather not sure, however all perfect for our stay and once again the staff were lovely and very helpful. Thanks"
