Top Norman Lockyer Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Kingswood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A really lovely hotel which is right on the sea front with lots of amazing restaurants and bars close by. A nice and clean hotel with the most amazing breakfast and overall service."

Mount Pleasant Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed twice in the last couple of months it's fabulous relaxing lovely and clean excellent food comfortable rooms peaceful break much appreciated they even saved me A large space for my pick up truck and the staff are very kind and courteous will visit again"

Hotel Riviera Sidmouth

10/10 Excellent

"All very satisfactory."

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"

Balfour Arms

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend staying here. Everything was excellent, and we had a lovely breakfast, too. Very good value."
