Our room no. 12 was quite small but had a large shared decking area with views of the coastline and we sat out there with drinks before venturing out. The decking needs attention with several areas having loose boards and some raised areas. Both of which are safety issues. The room was warm but we had a excellent oscillating fan. The hotel service and staff are excellent and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant on our second evening with views of the sea. We ate at Roma Italian the first evening, which was nice. We used the bar area at times and the terrace and also the outdoor swimming pool one afternoon. Everywhere was quiet and relaxing and we were so lucky with the weather too! Sidmouth is a lovely town and we visited the various gardens and views and walked alongside the river Sid on a circular walk. We explored every corner of Sidmouth! The Salcombe Tap House, (for a beer or wine facing the sea, right at the far east end of the seafront), was very nice as was the beer and wine. You can have a taster first to see what beer you like best, a nice touch! Lovely staff too... Thank you to all at the Harbour Hotel for looking after us so well for our 2 nights stay before heading off to Cornwall and the Eden Project. Rob & Sally Gill

Loved this beautiful hotel , gorgeous views and the restaurant was amazing

Booked a single room in May 2026. First room I was given: tiny room, couldn't fully open wardrobe door because bed was in the way, v. limited wardrobe space, not helped by ironing board being kept there. TV not working, no safe, lights not fully functioning, Asked to be moved. Second room: could open wardrobe door, but same problem with storage in the wardrobe ( although ironing board was now stored behind the curtain). Had to live out of suitcase and bags for the week as a consequence: not great or relaxing for a tidy person. No door hooks for coats and robe added to untidiness. Base of bed marked on both sides with what looked like urine, checked the mattress, but that was ok. Housekeeping chaotic. Room not clean. Dirty mark on bathroom floor for two days before I d/w it myself. Safe present. TV catchup not working Reported twice, but not sorted). Biscuits and bottled water provided some days but not others; reported to reception, but nothing done. Last day of stay, decided to eat poolside before setting off. Was told that there was only a sharing menu available on Sundays. I pointed out that I was a single hotel guest, but no alternative was offered: end of a rotten week. Wrote to hotel from home about this, but have received no reply. Would not recommend this hotel.

Staff very friendly and location great

great

In a lovely spot not far from the sea and has good views across the bay. Beautifully maintained swimming pool and surrounding area. Some more parasols in the hot weather would be useful. Room was very clean and the portable fan was most welcome as there was no air conditioning. Staff very helpful especially as it was a very busy and hot weekend. Continental Breakfast is available inside the well furnished restaurant or on the lovely outside terrace. Food choice was good with an option for cooked breakfast for extra £10. We really enjoyed our stay and will return.

Room 20 Shower not very clean and looked badley painted everywhere in the room Pillows need replacing as VERY lumpy Some staff went above and beyond Some staff very adapt at “ NOT “ seeing you Overall however very pleasant

We put out the sign on door for room cleaning when we left in the morning and on our return everything shipshape. The continental breakfast was exceptional and we liked the fact when we had finished eating we could move to the lounge end of the dining room to enjoy our coffee, thus freeing up a table for another breakfast guest. The staff were friendly and helpful across the board from reception, to dining room to the spa area. Our room didn't have a beach view [which we knew when we booked] but a lovely view of the sea from the breakfast room.

No visitors lounge accept a small area in the dining room this was poor. No information in your room to where facilities are. To small car park, our booking included free parking but no parking was available on one occasion.

Breakfast was excellent. Pleasant welcoming staff. Supper also good.

Comfortable room and good breakfast in pleasant dining room with views of the sea

Great hotel. We enjoyed everything it had to offer

Had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel. Staff were fantastic, room was immaculate, food was delicious, views were great. A perfect short break

Very good hotel - well situated; great food in the restaurant; comfortable room / bed; robes & slippers provided; spa facility sounded great but we didn’t have time to try on our 1-night stopover; free parking onsite; free G&T + bottled water in room, as well as usual coffee / tea making & minibar, safe, hairdryer, etc.

Excellent food can recommend 👍

We had a super room, with a lovely balcony and view. Staff at reception was super and friendly, as were the housekeeping staff. The restaurant staff were a little off the mark - a long wait for tea and coffee with breakfast in the morning; a little confusion over what we could/couldn’t have to eat when we sat in the bar late afternoon , but otherwise a perfect stay.

Clean hotel with good facilities. Try to get a sea view and a room in the main building

Whist being a small room. It was warm clean and facilities were great. Bed and pillows very comfy.

Reception, restaurant and service staff very good. Bed very comfortable.

Everything was perfect
