We booked a 4 day stay at the R and F in Sidmouth and stopped in the Faulkner Suite. It was very comfortable and Clean. What really makes this Hotel stand out is the Staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the Serving Staff in the Restaurant were superb, very quick and efficient. Will definatley return!!! more

As we were celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary we chose the York Suite for our weeks stay and it had everything we could wish for. A wonderful sea view (and as the weather was superb for our stay we were able to take full advantage of our balcony), a very tastefully decorated lounge area with the added benefit of a... more

Staying at this hotel is like stepping back in time. It is a family owned and run hotel, right on the seafront of this lovely little Devonshire town. The buildings are old, and the decor traditional.

The staff were incredibly friendly - we stayed on e night during the folk festival but could get in early, use the facilities after check out and nothing was too much trouble.

You take pot luck with your room some are large some are cramped. most bedrooms seem to have hand basins in bedroom rather than bath/shower room. The meals were acceptable but not as good as the rather pretenious menu would suggest. The staff were friendly and efficient. The sash windows in the dining room were uncomfortably drafty for thus unfortunate... more

It is a quiet hotel and seems to cater mainly for older people (I am in my mid-forties and on many of our visits have been apparently the youngest guest by... more
