Most rooms are outdated, in need of refurbishment, I didn't like the furniture and the soft mattress. Breakfast and service are good, family-friendly with kids activities and it's really useful to have a heated indoor pool in a beach town hotel, when the weather is not warm enough for the beach. The kids loved it. Looks like a Swiss chalet... More

My husband and I walked the South West Coast Path and stayed here on the leg from Exmouth to Sidmouth. This hotel was a sanctuary. It is set in a lovely garden and was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. They offered lots of special extras such as bath robes and sparkling water. We ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel...

I stayed two nights in the cheaper Annex accommodation, so I can't be critical of the room which was small, but clean, warm and not far from the swimming pool. I am told the rooms in the main hotel are good, so maybe next time. The food was excellent and plenty of it. The service was of a good standard... More

Another winner from Christian Guild hotels. Well done everyone. Lovely staff, nice food and lovely communal areas. The pool was deep enough to swim in properly unlike the one at Lindors. It was slightly cooler but that is my preference. The gardens are beautiful even in mist! We booked a superior room and it lived up to its name. So... More

Stayed here over a bank holiday as everywhere else in Sidmouth was booked and they would also accommodate the dog. Lovely location, set in stunning grounds. However, we arrived late in the day (9.30pm) to find the place buzzing with kids running around. Our room was adequate, but we found it noisy as it overlooked the hall area. The noise... More

Myself and my partner had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Sidholme hotel. Was a little nervous after reading some of the comments. But we cannot relate to any of these. The room was spacious, clean and had all the facilities we needed for the few days we were away (more character than any modern hotel nowadays.) Made full use of... More

I was feeling a little apprehensive before arriving, having read some varying comments on here, but it was a work retreat with my staff team so didn't have a choice. It was absolutely fabulous. All members of staff were helpful and polite, the food was yummy (we had all meals included) - I was waddling around for the duration of... More

A beautiful house in a lovely setting. We paid £140 for one night, this was very over priced for the condition of the room which was small and in need of some TLC. It is such a shame as this has so much potential to be a lovely hotel. I have to agree with comments from Anders G it was... More
