The Victoria Hotel is all it says it is. It's elegant, well maintained and the standard of service is excellent, but a doorman and restaurant and bar staff always around together with musical accompaniment at dinner all cost a bit extra so don't expect a cheap visit! Meals are varied and there is a good choice but the side dish... More

We were looking for a Sidmouth hotel with sea views and the Westcliff was full (in early May!) but the next door hotel, the Victoria, had just one room available - The Victoria Suite, the best in the place. It has sea views so my wife booked it! The parking is somewhat restricted at the hotel but we arrived just... More

This is a first class hotel. My wife took me here for my birthday and we had a 2 night half board package. The service from all the staff was superb, they are highly trained and nothing is too much trouble. The room with a sea view wasn't massive but fine for a weekend. The food was excellent and the...

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday. Arrived early so we could enjoy the relaxing comfort of the lounge and have morning coffee. The flowers everywhere were beautiful, the sun shone in from the sea view and it was so relaxing. Coffee was nice, lunch was lovely (maybe not perfect) but the whole atmosphere meant we will return. Would love... More

The first 3 requisites of a really good afternoon tea experience are real tea (not tea bags), a tablecloth and fine china. The Victoria did not offer any of these. We had a dining table (of sorts) with arm chairs instead of dining chairs. There was no table cloth or even table mats, dining table was not big enough to... More

We booked very last minute as we all needed a 'stop the world' couple of days. It is a very traditional establishment, set back from the seafront with wonderful views. The main clientele are retired and as such it can feel a little like a rest home at times. I wonder what the hotel are doing to encourage the next... More

...just how a traditional hotel should be. Superbly clean all thru, entrance to bathroom. Had a sea view room, deluxe with either twin beds or as we had it, zipped. Staff forgot the first night and didn't compensate for us sliding down the centre of the two beds...we laughed it off! Food was fantastic..several courses and always different each night.... More

We have visited this hotel many times and have never been disappointed. The staff are always efficient and friendly and it is such a calming and relaxing place. Dressing for dinner is a nice touch and adds to the ambience and overall high standards of the hotel. Since our previous visit my wife has developed a number of food allergies,... More

A lovely hotel with wonderful views of the sea. We stayed in a sea view room which was well worth the money. The room was comfortable, well furnished & the view was lovely. The hotel itself attracted an older clientele. We were by far the youngest guests at the weekend. But that lends itself nicely to the relaxed atmosphere. Sidmouth... More

This hotel is always such a wonderful experience for a short break. The staff are always so polite and helpful, the rooms very classy and the restaurant and food to die for . The lounges have stunning views out to sea. Sidmouth is also a wonderful place to spend a few days.
