It offers sea views over Lyme Bay and the Jurassic Coast, with three lounges and an oak panelled restaurant serving traditional dining on site. You're just steps from the beach and Sidmouth town centre, making it an easy base for exploring East Devon, whether walking along the seafront, heading up Salcombe Hill, or relaxing on the Esplanade. The hotel is close to Sidmouth Town beach and several small museums nearby, with dogs welcome for an extra charge.
