We travelled to Sidmouth on the Sunday and arrived early. Reception advised that the room would be ready quite soon so we had a coffee and relaxed. The room was excellent with a walk in shower. The food was very good and we had dinner at the hotel on 2 nights. The only problem was it was quite a trek to our room but staff kindly transported our bags. Would recommend the Royal Glen for a seaside break as it close to amenities yet in a quiet location.

Lovely building and very convenient for sea front and shops, yet quiet. Great breakfast, good choices. Fantastic room and comfortable bed. Staff very helpful and friendly. Sadly pool was closed for servicing (we should have checked beforehand) but it didn't detract from our stay. Would stay at this hotel again if visiting the area.

Great mini break in Sidmouth, returning to the Royal Glen after a previous stay earlier in the year. Very much a traditional seaside hotel with an excellent breakfast and decent sized rooms. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and we will definitely return.
