Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"We've stayed there twice now and the views alone are more than enough to soothe anyone. The staff were friendly and the rooms were large enough for our needs. Great stay." (3304731614)
Everything was where we needed it to be. The accomodation was clean and well-presented. The views were fantastic and the pool outside the window was an added bonus. The staff were more than accomodating and always on hand to help out with any needs. Wonderful experience.
no complaints - just too short a stay really

Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"You very kindly provided an evening meal for my husband when all restaurants seemed to be booked up. There was no mention of the hotel restaurant being closed, either on-line or in the room, nor was the price of the breakfast to be found. It was a very good breakfast, with a very good choice of healthy foods, all of which cost more than supermarket alternatives. But the bill was a bit of a shock - 4 breakfasts do add quite alot onto the bill." (3305229788)
Lovely grounds with awonderful view and a nice friendly feel in the hotel
There was some banging during our first evening that made us worry that our tv was disturbing others, even though it was so low that we had to strain to hear the dialogue.

It was very clean and set in very picturesque surroundings.
We had twin beds but this was due to the hotel being fully booked.

Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"Very nice accomodation, everything catered for, great location for exploring devon and dorset, but take your own sandwiches!" (97857073)
we stayed in the milking parlour, all the necessaries were provided for, the bedrooms were very adequate, and the views fantastic.
the only criticism would be the price of the sandwiches (on the day we arrived we asked for some bar food; 1 cheese sandwich and 1 egg sandwich, and a glass of coke each, charge £13). The £30 'changeover' charge which was added to the final bill we also thought was excessive.

Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"All the staff were friendly and welcoming without being over the top. The hotel is in a lovely quiet location with views of the surrounding countryside. You can borrow Ben the labrador, if you want a walking companion and there is a small pony that children can also ride on. There is an outside heated pool and towels can be borrowed from the hotel. The breakfast seems a little expensive, but the choice is varied and it's all very tasty! I would definitely go back to this hotel and would recommend it." (99206272)
The room was bright, clean and comfortable, with lovely views.
Nothing really, apart from a noisey shower!

Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"I found the website for this Hotel to be very informative. The accomodation was superb and the views spectacular. The staff made you feel really welcome & were extremely helpful. The Hotel is set back from the main road down a private track, there are no street lights so I would recommend you use your own Transport or one of the many local taxi services (which are very good) should you want to explore the area at night. I would definately come back again & recommend this Hotel to my family & friends." (99094503)
Accomodation was set in beautiful surroundings. It was well maintained & felt very welcoming.
Check out time was too early!

Smoke alarm directly above cooker so every time cooker door opened alarm activated. (but at least it worked and our safety wasn't compromised)

Sid Valley Country House Hotel, Sidmouth - Reviews & Ratings"Our overall stay at the Sid Valley was really enjoyable, friendly staff, clean and a very comfortable bed. We also found information contained in a folder in the room extremely helpful, places to visit, recommended restaurants, and after my husband and myself had enjoyed some alcoholic beverages a list of local taxis came in very useful. Will definitely re-visit at some time." (3305005588)
Excellent accommodation, would recommend to anyone, the room was lovely and bright with spectacular views of the countryside.
Could not fault it.
