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.

The staff were very friendly and helpful which made for a very enjoyable stay ( especially as it was our Anniversary)
The only thing that was a bit lacking was the bathroom space for an executive room

We had a lovely stay at the Royal Glenn Sidmouth. Staff were friendly and they allowed us to remain parked in the car park after we had checked out in the morning although we were still in the hotel having a sting outside in the patio area. We are already planning our next trip.

Great hotel situated close to the seafront. Service and breakfast were excellent and the rooms were traditional and comfortable. The pool opened just as we arrived and we enjoyed having a quick swim before dinner. Overall, an excellent stay in a really pleasant, well-run hotel.
