Guests will love the world heritage coastal town of Sidmouth, nestled between majestic sandstone cliffs, which form part of the Jurassic coastline and the popular Southwest Coast Path. Beach lovers will enjoy spending time on the town’s two pebble beaches, which at low tide, give away to golden sands and rock pools, perfect for those with young children or those that want to while away the hours relaxing in the sunshine and feeling that wonderful sea breeze.

Sidmouth is an ideal location for those wanting to explore the wider area, especially the Jurassic Coastline and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The hotel is within easy reach of many of the town’s main tourist spots, including the high street with its array of shops, bars and restaurants, and the National Trust owned parkland, The Byes, which follows the River Sid down towards the sea. Both Peak Hill and Salcombe Hill are nearby, as are the popular walking spots Connaught Gardens, the Sid Valley and the South West Coast Path. The town itself is full of wonderful historical character, and the area that the Kingswood and Devorn Hotel now occupies was formally the Sidmouth Brine Baths, which were originally refurbished in 1893, so we are long associated with restoring vigor to weary bodies.
