Sarah and Andy were wonderful hosts. On our arrival, they made my husband and I very welcome. Our room was very clean and cozy. Sarah's cooked breakfast was consistent and good. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We felt like it was a home from home experience. I would definitely recommend the Grove Side Guest House. We'll definitely stay there again. Claudette and Mike

Groveside

We would definitely recommend the Groveside. Hosts friendly and helpful. Everything was to a high standard...cleanliness, breakfast. 5 minute walk to the shops and sea-front. Free parking on site. Intimate garden with tables and chairs. Buses go to lots of local places including Exeter and Lyme Regis. Local pubthe Swan , good food and ambiance. If you can get to Topsham, there's a restaurant called The Galley which we would highly recommend.

Really great value for money.

My trip was one of several I have made over the years. Have stayed in a number of establishments. Groveside Guest House is excellent value for money. Sarah and Andy are extremely helpful and friendly. Service is good. Everything is spotless and very well maintained. Delicious breakfast. Only 15 minutes walk into the town and not much further to the esplanade. Great cinema nearby too with some very good films for a bargain price. which includes a hot drink and a biscuit. These films are shown twice a week, once a day. Other good films are shown seperately. Plenty of buses run past Groveside . Exeter, Honiton, Seaton and several other destinations are covered. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this guest house. Parking is good also.

Great guest house, with great service.

We stayed the night as a stop over to break up a long journey. The off street car park was great, and the owners very friendly and helpful. The room was a great size and very clean. A short walk from the beach and shops so a great location.

Nice guest house with easy parking

Great location with a short walk through town to the beach. The room included everything we needed for our one night stay- towels, hairdryer, tea tray, tv etc. The furniture/decor was dated and not to our taste but the room was very clean :)

Pleasant, well located B&B.

We stayed at this B&B in Sidmouth for 2 nights, the last weekend in August 18. We had a room on the top floor, which had lovely views of the park and gardens behind.Good location- we could walk through the park to the centre and sea front. Our hosts were welcoming, the room was clean and fresh and the breakfast good.

it was okay but not exceptional. Breakfast was good. Our room was a little on the small side but comfortable.and very clean. As far as we were concerned the down side was lack of anywhere to place your own toilet gear and no mat in the base of the shower.
