The staff were very friendly and helpful which made for a very enjoyable stay ( especially as it was our Anniversary)
The only thing that was a bit lacking was the bathroom space for an executive room

We enjoyed the grade 1 listed building and surroundings. The history and comfort of the building. The bedroom was a bit small but adequate. The food was delicious. The Staff were friendly and efficient.

Royal Glen
We had a lovely stay at the Royal Glenn Sidmouth. Staff were friendly and they allowed us to remain parked in the car park after we had checked out in the morning although we were still in the hotel having a sting outside in the patio area. We are already planning our next trip.

We stayed for one night.
The rooms are very dated. Shower room was also dated with vineer pealing off the bottom off the sink unit.
The staff at breakfast were all lovely.
But i wouldnt stay again
A Two Star rating would probably be more accurate

A lovely, old-fashioned (in a good way) hotel. Just out of the way but an easy stroll to the town and seafront.
The staff are professional but very friendly and attentive. Our standard dog friendly room was comfortable and nicely furnished. We didn't use the indoor pool, but it looked nice.
Breakfast was excellent. Food and service top rate.
Bring your own toiletries, no soap or shower gel in the room. That is why I dropped a star for facilities.
I highly recommend this hotel.

The Duke.
Wonderfully close to the promenade and the pretty town of Sidmouth. Most people had a cooked breakfast rather the a basic continental. Requests are available such as yoghurt. Lovely gardens with plenty of seating scattered around. Car parking a bit tight. We had the Duke Room which I would highly recommend. Excellent en-suite but a bit of scrub “under the rim on the toilet” required. We look forward to going again.
