I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights on 10th May using a coupon offer and found the hotel to be clean, friendly and convenient as within a 5 minute walk into Sidmouth town and to the lovely seafront. The breakfast on both mornings was cooked to order - very tasty and piping hot. The staff were helpful and... More

We stayed here for two nights on a well known company coupon offer and had a lovely time. The hotel does need quite a lot of TLC in the décor department BUT it is clean, welcoming, homely and the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We also dined the first night in the restaurant as part... More

My wife and I, and my brother in law and sister in law, have just returned from a very enjoyable weekend at this hotel. We booked at short notice but were offered the chance to upgrade to adjoining superior rooms, both of which were very clean, of good size and well appointed, the furniture mirroring the character and charm of...

My wife & I had a lovely break at this hotel. Friendly and welcoming staff and very nice food too. Just a few minutes walk from the town and beach so it was a great base. Ok it's not ultra modern but that was part of the charm.

We stayed here for two nights as part of an offer. The first night we had dinner, which we thought was nice. Breakfast was very good, offered from a menu. Staff were friendly and showed us to our room, which is a nice touch. We have a dog and thought the separate entrance to our room was great and much... More

The room was not very clean including the toilet. No central heating but there was one convector heater in the room. Dinner menu was choice of three dishes two of which were poor. Second night dining room was not open including the bar, in fact the place was closed up at 7 pm. Not very friendly.

We have just returned from a great weekend break at The Woodlands Hotel (Groupon offer). We thought the hotel was great, very comfortable with lots of unexpected extras in the bedroom eg. Bottled water, cotton wool, shampoo, bubble bath, shower gel and body lotion which weren't in tester size!! We didn't have dinner in the hotel so can't comment but... More

Wasn't expecting much as we got a very good rate for dinner bed and breakfast but was pleasantly surprised. It was our first experience of the staff that set the tone for our stay, upon arrival the car park was full as we were late checking in, so my wife went in to ask directions to nearest alternative. The receptionist... More

Just had a two night break with one evening meal. The hotel is old and dated , don't look for chrome , glass or brown leather sofas , there aren't any. However we rather liked the "olde worlde "style and the public rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was rather limited as has been said before. We found the... More

Spent a wonderful weekend at the Woodlands Hotel recently for my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Wonderful building, great staff/owners, lovely location in short walking distance to town & sea front, fantastic traditional and character bedrooms (we had the four poster). We bought a special offer which included diner and breakfast. The breakfast was everything you would want. However,... More
