Sidmouth Hotel Guide - The Donkey Sanctuary hotels in Sidmouth, United Kingdom.

"Comfortable room. Great food. Lovely views from bar and deck. Relaxed atmosphere. Staff all very friendly and helpful"

"In a venerable building such as this, there are always sure to be minor defects - creaking floorboards above us was one - but that didn't detract from a really nice stay in the spacious Duke room. The staff were excellent - courteous and always helpful - especially the new manager and his wife - and the only real problem was finding and getting into a suitable parking space for a reasonably large family car (BMW 3 series) - in the end, we parked overnight on the road on one occasion. I'm not a swimmer (and had hoped for a jacuzzi - but there isn't one) - but my wife is, though the pool wasn't really deep enough, she said. There were two false fire-alarms at none too convenient times, triggered, we were told by a hair dryer and an over-sensitive alarm sensor. I ngather this is being sorted.... The food was good (Dinner was a little too expensive, we felt) and breakfast was good, apart from the level of some of the background music, which they didn't seem willing, or able, to turn down. A most enjoyable stay, and full marks to a hotel that lays on coffee and mints in the evenings for its guests - lovely to find that after a long day out. We'll hope to return, and thank you to all at the Royal Glen."

"Excellent food and comfortable rooms. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Would definitely stay at The Blue Ball again."
