Book for dinner on a Sunday if you are eating out. Many places crony open Sunday evening. Sidmouth is a pleasant Edwardian type sea side town with no amusement arcades. Very pleasant and great shopping

Im a massive fan of Sidmouth, I have been since a child and I love the big hotels on the Sea Front. I would recommend Sidmouth to anyone, well, maybe not people who are looking for nightclubs and bars.

Love Sidmouth so many quaint shops, good transport. Will visit again but won't book with the Balfour Arms.
"Breakfast was excellent. Bar meal was good but not great selection. Main Restaurant was too expensive. The room was great, very comfortable. the Seaview was obscured bey vegetation, but after some discussion, the gardener cut the offending vegetation back which mad the view perfect."
"We have just completed our second trip here, so relaxing!
Very friendly staff and an amazing location.
Lovely breakfasts and a wonderful old building. "
"The moment we arrived, we were overwhelmed with the outstanding beauty of the countryside and with the quality of the hotel which was also very spacious. We felt very pampered by the facilities provided. Maria in charge of the breakfast showed unprecedented professionalism and was very welcoming.
I would have liked to have seen a few seats scattered around outside, other than just by the clubhouse. Nevertheless we will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff."
