"A very welcoming greeting upon arrival. The room was lovely and clean with plenty of storage space. The breakfast was very good and certainly set you up for the day. I didn’t eat in the pub for an evening meal, but it was a very quaint country pub, full of atmosphere. The menu choices looked very good, and if the breakfast was anything to go by I’m sure the meals would be very good too. Highly recommend the old inn."

"Thank you very much to the Helyar Arms team for the warm hospitality, we very much enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches and breakfast was nicely varied and had plenty of options for guests with gluten and dairy intolerances as well which is by no means a given. We look forward to returning."

"We had a lovely stay at Rock Point, the staff were lovely, the property was in a great setting and nice and clean, the food was great too!! Our only down side was the old rattling sash windows during a very stormy night."

"Lovely comfortable stay. Charming and vibrant village pub with good selection of beers and a good meal. Room was clean and comfortable. Only downside was it was quite hot at night time and the window didnt open much. A fan was provided in the room so Im guessing this is a regular thing. Would definitely recommend though."

"This hotel was excellent and so clean and beautifully furnished. You can tell it is owned by an expert designer. Food rooms service. Impeccable. 10/10."
"Had one evening meal. The food quality was good, no complaints with that. Only had continental breakfast, usual toast, cereal, fruit juice, Croissants, etc
That was all fine. Cooked breakfast options were available for extra charge.
Bedrooms and showers need some attention. Small issues. Moved rooms after first nights sleep as mattress was very poor. Much better sleep in different room second night.
Shower water power in first room was okay but second room was lacking.
Usual amount of downstairs pub noise but that soon died down after about 10pm ish. Quiet night sleep overall.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Good choice of local ales."
"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."
"Lovely traditional hotel set on the beachfront road overlooking the sea at Sidmouth. We reserved one night and the staff were all very polite and helpful, our room, although a standard classification, was extremely comfortable with a lovely King sized bed, the bathroom was spotlessly clean, towels were all of excellent quality, also a big bonus was having car parking available on site by pre-booking, overall a throughly enjoyable stay at the Riviera we would definitely return."
"We really enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Hotel, our standard room was of a very generous size, much bigger than a lot of hotels which was very pleasing.
The Hotel throughout was spotlessly clean, and the food was excellent, the staff were very helpful, and the cost was very reasonable, there was always plenty of parking spaces in the car park, and we will definitely visits again, the Hotel exceeded our expectations."
"NEVER STAY IN THIS HELL HOLE. even the welcome mat had a 3 foot hole in it lol
the room was old, ripped wall paper, many things was broken, the furniture was old and broken.
most and I think illegal, due to fire regulations was the windows was restricted to opening 3 inches, with blocks and screws, we would have had no fire escape if the fire was on our 2nd floor landing, We had no sleep in the two nights stay as it was over 40 degrees in the room with no air
paint flaking off radiators,
broken glass in the doors
the staff was rude and non caring
the food was terrible, served a salad that was wilted and not fit to eat, day they messed up our breakfast and gave us fish , instead of bacon
we left after 2 days of a 6 day stay"
