Sidmouth HH did not come up to standard we've had from other Harbour Hotels. Disappointing
Pros:

View from room was lovely. Room was very quiet, no disturbance from wedding event. Reception staff and Ellie the manager were very good. Bar staff good.

Cons:

Bed was ridiculously high and we're both tall! Room could be cleaner, attention to detail. Service at breakfast was disappointing and choice of continental very limited especially compared with other Harbour Hotels. New electric car chargers not working properly and expensive as not stopping once charge complete. No hot water for 3 days out of 5!!

Good enought to ensure a return visit.
Pros:

The staff were exceptional from check in to check out. In particular, the two gentlemen who worked in the hotel maintenance and operations department were kind and perfect ambassadors for the entire hotel. The front desk staff were also very accommodating. Thank you very much.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Sidmouth is an elegant resort and the hotel fits in very well with comfortable rooms and good food.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic! Our room overlooked the Car Park and rubbish bins.A shelter was being constructed as we arrived and the drilling etc was disruptive. Perhaps, we could have been accommodated elsewhere in the hotel away from the drilling etc which continued until 5.00-5.30pm. Dinner was good and breakfast was ample with a good range of dishes which could be extended from Continental for a modest fee of £7 per person.

Cons:

The drilling just outside our window!

Exceeded expectations. Would definitely come to the hotel again in the future.
Pros:

Our room was comfortable and spacious. The bathroom facilities were of a high standard. Coffee and tea making was good. Food was freshly prepared. Despite being busy, we were served in good time. Staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived early but as our room was ready were were able to check in. Flexibility in this respect is much appreciated.

Cons:

The air conditioning did not appear to work but a fan had been provided which was adequate. The air temperature in the bathroom was unnecessarily high.
