We only stayed here one night and wished we had stayed longer.||The hotel is a grade one listed building (but has a lift) and the rooms are all different. Our bedroom (Dukes) was lovely - plenty of room and well equipped.  …

This Hotel holds a charm of its own, being a Grade 1 Listed building with a fascinating Royal history, it has sort of been brought into a modern World in an old fashioned way if you see what I mean. …

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 4 night midweek break here and left feeling relaxed and refreshed. It is a wonderful base from which to explore Sidmouth, and so many lovely places nearby.The room was clean and fresh, the staff are all friendly and helpful, and the food delicious and well-presented, even if the dinner menu is a little safe! We enjoyed the breakfast menu especially woodland mushrooms on toast which were a very nice start to the day.The bed was quite firm, but with good pillows and duvet and we slept well. As the room notes mention, the age of the building means sound travels and on a couple of nights there was noise from a tv upstairs, but in other places we've stayed there has been worse disturbance from the corridor. At the Royal Glen the carpets and generally quirky layout mean the corridors are quiet.We really hope to return again next year, I highly recommend the Royal Glen.

Had a wonderful stay at the Royal Glen hotel. We had booked for two nights and included dinner for the first night. The food was so good we decided to eat there again on the second night too. Best food I’ve had during my three week stay in England!Thank you for such kind hospitality and lovely old world style.
