Following a visit to the lovely Thurlestone Hotel in Devon (see review) we moved onto to The Victoria at Sidmouth. Lovely building, parking can be difficult. Excellent welcome and four night stay in superior newly refitted room with balcony. Room well appointed, no safe. No air conditioning, but there is a miniscule face fan. Even in October it was hot,... more

We booked a last minute weekend break direct with the hotel for two nights (Fri/Sat) we were looking for complete peace, relaxation and some luxury. Sidmouth itself it definitely quiet, just how we wanted it so perfect, weather was also good so a real bonus. On arrival first impressions were good a very sumptuous entrance lobby with an abundance of... more

We have just spent a long weekend at the Victoria, to celebrate my significant other's special birthday. I have nothing but praise for the staff, for the extremely comfortable public areas, and even our room, which was not one of the refurbished ones, but was nevertheless very well-equipped and serviced. My one criticism was with the food. It seemed that... more

My husband and I arrived in Sidmouth in the early evening, immediately after landing at Heathrow. We were tired from the trip and simply stumbled upon the beachside road that led to several hotels. We first stopped in the Belmont, but they were fully booked; however, having the same owner, they called over to the Victoria and directed us next... more

Stayed for 1 night in a very nice room with sea view, the huge bed was very comfy, the room nicely furnished, but found the atmosphere a little bit sedate, lots of elderly residents, no evening entertainment. Dinner was OK but nothing special. Not sure if we would return here or even to Sidmouth as there is just no life... more

This hotel is excellent, the staff, cleanliness and food. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff. Dinner was excellent. Only fault is the bathroom, shower poor and a shower curtain instead of a screen, which for a hotel of this standard needs updating. The position of the hotel overlooking the sea is superb. more

Nothing was too much trouble for the efficient staff at this splendid hotel. Although at first sight the ambience appears to be very formal, in fact it disguises a warm and friendly approach to its guests. We stayed two nights over the Easter break and were impressed by so much - the beautiful setting, clean and comfortable rooms, modern bathroom... more

Our 17 strong family party descended upon the hotel during the busy Easter period when most catering establishments are at thier busiest, it has to be said that they did'nt bat an eye lid at our collection of teenagers and babies and the staff throughout the hotel were superb. Previous reviews have remarked upon the fact that most of the... more
