Top Norman Lockyer Observatory Hotel Reviews

Harbour Hotel Sidmouth

8/10 Good

"I would like to have given the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel 5 stars. However, I have only given it 4 stars because the main hotel description on Expedia is inaccurate. It says "this hotel sits directly on a pebble beach....". It does not. It is situated about 3 minutes walk from the beach, 75 feet above sea level on the adjacent hillside. I pointed this error out to the receptionist, who agreed the description is incorrect. But it has not been changed. In all other respects, the hotel met our expectations. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food at breakfast and dinner was very good. I particularly enjoyed the pianist playing the piano during Sunday lunch. I recommend this hotel to couples who are looking for a luxurious stay."

Royal Glen

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Royal Glen several times now. I don’t stay in the hotel much because I love Sidmouth so go out all day but I have breakfast at the Hotel and go back in the evening. I usually have a standard room but this time treated us to a suite and it was lovely. There is enough parking although you do need to be careful as it is a small site. The staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely, you can request slight changes to what is listed on the menu. There is a buffet breakfast also with fruit, cereal, yoghurt, hot drinks and fruit juice. The hotel is well kept and clean."

Hotel Elizabeth

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room helpful staff very good beach view did not use he car park"

Blue Ball Inn

8/10 Good

"Parking and breakfast good. Room fine except for nasty star crack in sink, which was black and probably full of germs."

Dukes

10/10 Excellent

"No dislikes with anything at the Dukes and always love staying there. Bed superbly comfortable. One little niggle not quite ready for winter duvets but forgot to ask for something lighter"

Mount Pleasant Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Riviera Sidmouth

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were very polite and helpful. They went out of their way to be helpful. All the rooms in the hotel were very clean. The food was excellent. Varied and well cooked and great presentation. Lounge was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had lots of variety and served quickly. It was nice having a concierge to park the car for us."

The Kingswood Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had a single room, which actually didn’t have a view (2 x frosted opaque windows) BUT the room was very clean and comfortable. It was also quiet (exception of seagulls at 5:30 but that’s outside the hotels control) Bed very comfy, en-suite all good. Breakfast was really good, all good quality produce in the full English and a lovely bowl of porridge for starter. Staff all very friendly Would definitely recommend and stay again although if you want a view and there are some great rooms with views make sure you ask. Sidmouth itself is a lovely Regency Seaside town which is full of period character and really well looked after."
