“Staff just superb. Parking by valet superb. The whole place is spotless.
We never ate there as we were picking up with old friends to eat.
Just a really lovely hotel thank you all. BT”
“We loved staying at Dukes. The staff were really warm and welcoming from start to finish. My husband remembers staying at Dukes when he was a child and wanted to share this with our children. Our only issue was that the room was very hot, but we were going through a heatwave, so that can't be helped. But maybe some fans in the room would have been helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!”
“We were only there one night and didn’t eat there in the evening but breakfast was excellent.
Room was spacious with excellent open plan bathroom facilities.
Pleasant walk into Sidmouth ( approx 3.5 ) miles round trip
Ticked all the boxes for what we needed.
Would stay again”
“The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. The food was lovely and the staff were great and very attentive. We had a brilliant overnight stay Thank you”
“Disappointing stay—lacks warmth and basic comfortsI appreciated the historic building, but the room itself was unsuitable. Soundproofing is non-existent; I could hear everything from neighbouring rooms, including plumbing. With no AC, the only ventilation was a window opening onto a shared roof, which wasn't secure to leave open overnight. Aside from a nice check-in receptionist, the staff were offish and impersonal, which felt quite unwelcoming for a solo traveller. The place felt messy and...
“Really nice stay - welcomed in arrival and given our keys. Lovely family room overlooking the sea front. Clean and tidy throughout. Parking allocated out the back which was really handy.
Only tiny issue was our pup wasn’t checked in, which caused a slight issue at breakfast as we had to go in the bar area but soon sorted out and had a lovely breakfast.
Would love to return at some point”
“Perfectly situated for both the town and the beach. Clean, comfortable room. There was great speed and efficiency at breakfast and dinner - well-staffed so no waiting. Had a quiz one evening and great musical entertainment on another.”
“Convenient location to Lyme Regis and local pubs, exceptionally clean and well presented. Cara, the host, was friendly and helpful. Loved the cooked breakfast. Highly recommend!”
“We were greeted with a handshake which is always a good start. Our hosts, Neil and Rosemarie were welcoming and eager to make sure our stay was a good one. Our room was spacious as was the bathroom and shower. We were pleased with the coffee machine and the fridge on the landing for the cold milk. The small touches are what makes this hotel a special one. The bar downstairs proved popular to watch the world cup and we appreciated the hospitality during the evening. Breakfast was cooked to...
“The park is nice however you have to pay for everything as extra including WiFi which even after paying was very poor. Paying for indoor swimming was also not good. There was a very pungent smell in our caravan which didn’t go away even with all windows open and bin out. Mattress is very uncomfortable. Won’t be coming back here”
