Top Norman Lockyer Observatory Hotel Reviews

Mount Pleasant Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Although it can be a little tricky parking when all the places are nearly full the hotel is ideally situated near the center of Sidmouth. Very much a boutique hotel and it was full when we arrived as we hadn't realised it was the carnival weekend. Stayed in for dinner which we were asked to select our choices in advance and it was excellent - beautifully cooked and very tasty. Our room was very quiet overnight and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast in the morning had a great choice of options and the coffee was good. Overall - highly recommended."
