Royal Glen Hotel - A family-run historic seaside hotel with an indoor pool, seasonal dining, and proximity to the Jurassic Coast

Located on Sidmouth's heritage coast, Royal Glen Hotel offers 3-star accommodations in a historic Georgian building owned by the same family for generations. The property features individually furnished rooms across three categories-Suite, Superior, and Standard-with options including private patios, garden access, and family configurations. Lilly's Restaurant serves a seasonal menu with locally sourced ingredients, while breakfast includes full English options and à la carte choices. Guests can use the indoor heated pool, gym, and secluded gardens, or explore nearby attractions like Connaught Gardens and the South West Coast Path. The Royal Glen is a 5-minute walk from Sidmouth Sea Front and 20 km from Exeter International Airport.

Pros

The indoor heated pool and gym provide year-round leisure options.

Dog-friendly rooms and gardens accommodate pets.

Proximity to the Jurassic Coast and South West Coast Path offers scenic walks.

Family-run with a long history, including ties to Queen Victoria's visit in 1819.

Cons

Some rooms require access via stairs due to the historic building's layout.

Limited parking with 25 spaces available on a first-come basis.

“This hotel stands out for its location, a short stroll from Sidmouth's seafront. The staff is attentive, and the on-site dining gets good marks. With a pool and free parking, it's a practical base for exploring the town.”
