An interesting hotel in a listed building just tucked back from the seafront but all within a few minutes walk. This quiet hotel is a great place to get away from the crowd. It has lovely gardens with a sea view. The pool and gym facilities add to the offer but above all the staff are freindly and welcoming and... More

In the important five aspects, the Royal Glen hits the right notes. In comfort, caring, cleanliness; convenience and consideration. We had a four day stay in April for a birthday treat, and everything we asked for we were supplied with courtesy. There is ease of access to the seafront, good food with a four course evening meal plus coffee, a... More

Just back from a weekend at the Royal Glen celebration a golden wedding with family. The hotel is a great size but not too big - it has around 30 rooms, with plenty of space. There's a nice drawing room and terrace on 1st floor and casual bar area and TV room on the ground floor. The rooms (naturally in... More

Thank you for making such an informative review. We are pleased you felt at home at the Royal Glen, and that the weekend celebration was a success. We are very sorry that the lift was out of action for all of your stay, it is very disapointing and when without it , it makes access very difficult for some guests.... More

A small hotel nestling against the hillside offering an excellent choice of accommodation, superb food and a cosy atmosphere. This was the fourth visit and we shall certainly visit again. Sidmouth has an old world charm with easy access to surrounding attractions. The winter special rates at this hotel offer very good value for money.

A group of 32 of us have just had a great weekend at the Royal Glen. This family owned hotel certainly has that little extra, good old fashioned service. From the Management through to all the staff, it was just a great experience. Some of us had the Superior Rooms which were immaculate, 5Star quality. The cosyness of this hotel... More

Royal Glen is a historic, listed building - Queen Victoria stayed there as a child. The architecture is lovely, there is a nice garden, and you are just a minute's walk from the sea front. It is a family run place with very friendly service. It is a Victorian country house atmosphere. The furniture is old fashioned, the floors creaky... More
