Latest Sidmouth hotel reviews
johngayton Says: For my next visit to Sidmouth as well as having a proper pub crawl and sussing out where's good to eat I really must make the time for a museum visit.The local museum claims to cover 240 million years of history! That of course refers to the town's Jurassic Coast location....
johngayton Says: Sidmouth is located on the East Devon section of the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, and also obviously on the Southwest Coast Path. The town is flanked, both to east and west, by spectacular red sandstone cliffs and both directions offer scenic walking with interesting...
johngayton Says: Although Sidmouth markets itself as a "Seaside Resort" it doesn't really have that much in the way of a beach and what there is is mostly pebbles. There is a sandy section but that only appears when the tide is out and so if it is beach activities that you are after you'd...
Rolling landscape around Sidmouth
CatherineReichardt Says: (work in progress)
gumboyaya Says: I usally stay in Sidmouth, when I visit the nearby (Salcombe Regis) Donkey Sanctuary.Hundreds and hundreds of Donkeys on a huge farm. Most of them do enjoy your visit quite obviously. Should be a splendid thing to do with children.And when you´re there, leave a bit of money...
gumboyaya Says: Wonderful countryside, just hike towards the south along the cliff top, great views!!Easy to walk, only a few steep parts, but even those are not hard to conquer.
cup0joe Says: There are many walks around the town that take you up and down through the headlands surrounding Sidmouth. Look for the South West Coast Path. I would avoid trying to go for a long walk on the beaches. The rocks are lime-sized and make walking dfificult for much distance....

johngayton Says: It must be about 14 years ago that I last stayed for a few nights here in Sidmouth and so there's no point in reviewing that as I'm sure things have changed in the meantime.However as a general overview Sidmouth has loads of accomodation ranging from self-catering cottages...
Browns Wine Bar & Bistro: A Most Wonderful Surprise
cup0joe Says: Being a foodie, I will travel far and wide for something special. I can honestly say this was one of the most wonderful surprises I've had in a long time in Britain. The monkfish special was melt-in-your-mouth tender. It was accompanied by, surprisingly, pumpkin with a very...
The Clock Tower (I think): Clocktower Restaurnat/cafe
cjsbella Says: Good simple snack food which is well presented and generous in portions.There is also a restaurant menu that I haven't as yet had.The cakes look phenomenal! Baked potato with cheese - there's loads of cheese and good salad garnish
johngayton Says: If visiting Sidmouth from Exeter the Stagecoach #52 (A and B) runs about half-hourly during the day and hourly later in the evening with a journey time of about 45 minutes. If making a day of it then the £6.50 "Explorer" ticket is your best buy as this allows unlimited...
deptlads Says: Stagecoach Mainline bus routes 52a and 52b run from Exeter Bus Station every half an hour (hourly on Sundays) throughout the day until late evening. The route is quite scenic.For the Sidmouth seafront, get off the bus at the Sidmouth Triangle.A day return ticket costs £6.00....
johngayton Says: One of the first things you'll notice about Sidmouth are the well-kept gardens, both private and municipal, and from early spring until late autumn the town is a riot of colour. Not only do the locals compete against each other but the town too is a regular winner of various...
johngayton Says: Sidmouth has hosted an annual folk festival since 1955. This began as a relatively low-key event run by the English Folk Dance and Song Society and grew into an international festival of music and crafts and appropriately renamed the Sidmouth International Festival in...
