Disappointing
Pros:

Continental Breakfast was good.
Staff were lovely

Cons:

Room was very small and we found it difficult squeezing past bed to get to bathroom. It appeared to be a single which had a double bed squeezed in.
Hot water was not hot enough for a bath.
There was nowhere to sit together with room service.
Not worth £200 per night.
Parking was very tight with bins and laundry making access to the carpark even tighter.

We have stayed at some of your sister hotels, unfortunately, will not be rushing back to Sidmouth
Pros:

Dinner and staff were very good, bar man 'Luva' was excelent, the position of the hotel was also good, the bed was comfortable. Reception staff were very pleasant. Breakfast selection was very good.

Cons:

Our room and more specificaly the bathroom, was tired and door and paintwork poor, also on the floor one of the large tiles is protruding and is quite dangerous to catch and cut your foot, we covered it with the floor mat so that didn't happen. 'Some' of the breakfast staff, for their benefit require a bit more training, "good morning" would help, some, did look like they didn't really want to be there??

Great stay in a wonderful area with lovely views. We look forward to returning soon.
Pros:

Super helpful staff( especially Imogen on the front desk, David from maintenance and Bal and Ellie in the restaurant ), lovely restaurant food (especially the best ever cheese souffles) and a well appointment room with marvellous views! Great welcome touches such as a g and t and bath robes.
The spa treatment of a facial and back massage by Sophie , the manager, was the very best treatment I have had anywhere in the world.
Great decor everywhere especially in the bedrooms and dining room .
Lovely spa facéties and indoor pool a real bonus in the winter.

Cons:

Our sea view twin had wonderful views but space was at a premium and it was rather tight for two people who are not in a relationship !!! No coat hooks was a nuisance especially in damp weather as you couldn’t put them in the wardrobe because of very little hanging space plus one wouldn’t want to get your other clothes soaking!! Pillows were lumpy but at least the beds were comfy
Sensor lights in the bathroom and the corridor was a nuisance as was the door key sensor which did not stay green for very long so if you are holding things you need to put them down to open the door!
Finally the air freshener product in the front reception area is over powering and especially tricky for people with asthma as it is allergy inducing!

Sunday lunch
Pros:

Had an amazing roast beef, great staff especially Ellie (front of house). Would recommend getting a side of cauliflower cheese- plenty for 2 and was delicious. Pianist certainly adds to the whole experience as well as the views. All perfect!
