Top The Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Mount Pleasant Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Although it can be a little tricky parking when all the places are nearly full the hotel is ideally situated near the center of Sidmouth. Very much a boutique hotel and it was full when we arrived as we hadn't realised it was the carnival weekend. Stayed in for dinner which we were asked to select our choices in advance and it was excellent - beautifully cooked and very tasty. Our room was very quiet overnight and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast in the morning had a great choice of options and the coffee was good. Overall - highly recommended."

Royal Glen

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, very comfortable room and facilities. On site parking. Breakfast good, sunday evening meal excellent"

Hotel Elizabeth

8/10 Good

"Great location right on the seafront, couldn't be better, and a lovely little room. Staff were helpful."

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."

Woodlands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly and flexible staff. Wonderful breakfast, very organised. Comfy bed, I had a good night sleep. Window open and no noise except an owl! 😍"

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."

Masons Arms

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location. Ideally situated for the South West Coastal Path. Lovely pub atmosphere with a good restaurant. Local beer. Staff were helpful on site. Parking. Room was cosy but had everything that you needed. Lovely shower."

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"
