    The Royal Glen is a real gem of a hotel .

    Choice of room

    The location of the hotel is 5 mins walk for the promenade at Sidmouth and the spectacular views of the sea and red cliffs to east and west of the town . The hotel is really quaint and traditional with lovely white exterior and Devon Gothic windows . The grounds are lovely too and well kept . The food in the restaurant is really good - Sunday night dinner is splendid with Sunday roast done to perfection . Breakfast is delicious with fresh cooked options - haddock and bubble and squeak on offer . Afternoon tea too and a well stocked bar - all staff helpful and friendly . What more could you want ?the Royal Glen is a real gem in Sidmouth .

    Nothing to dislike here.

    Great location, the beachfront a short walk away and the town Centre a little farther. A hotel with old character and good restaurant. Most helpful and friendly staff.

    Although the room was beautifully clean, well appointed and comfortable, it was rather cold in the evenings. We didn't turn the radiator on, because the wires for the television were across it, and it might have damaged them.

    Staff were all lovely, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was very good. Location to central Sidmouth excellent. The hotel was clean and well appointed, and of historical interest.

    The staff were excellent. Our room was one of the smaller rooms (I booked late and that was all there was left) but my wife saw some larger rooms which looked very nice. I have an EV and was able to charge using a granny charger.

    We booked 2 rooms for the same price. One was spacious with in keeping furniture, a bath and pleasant view of gardens. The other was poky with melamine furniture and a view of the car park. I anticipate breakfast is better value when booked with the room. Booking.com didn’t give us the option to book breakfast so we ordered when got there. The pricing system is confusing and quickly racks up if you’re not attention.

    Beautiful grade 2 listed building. One of the rooms was lovely. Pancakes and cooked breakfast options were very tasty

    The dinner time of 6.45 does not suit parents with kids. Meaning you either need to go search for somewhere, which everywhere in Sidmouth needs to be pre booked, or else grab a takeaway to eat in the room. Not ideal

    Location - swimming pool - some of the staff

    The only negative was that the room we had was a little tired and could have done with a new carpet and a bit of redecorating. Everything was very clean and tidy with an excellent shower and facilities. The mattress was a bit hard for our personnel preference.

    Very friendly and efficient staff. Excellent breakfast and wonderful service. Great location to explore the town as only a short walk to the beach. Room was very clean and daily housekeeping very good.
