We had a lovely room with a great view of the sea and the room was great. The staff were extremely helpful, it was a particularly cold night in January and the hotel was quite cold but the staff brought up a heater so that we could warm the room up. My husband had stayed there for the previous 4... More

Very glad we booked into Dukes for a couple of days R&R. The room was very 'roomy' with a leather settee that we positioned in the bay window to look out over the beer garden and out to sea. Our bathroom was a little on the small side but the vastness of the main room more than made up for... More

What a good choice we made. Travelling from Australia for an informal ceremony to return my Husband's ashes to Sidmouth, we had no chance to discuss arrangements until we arrived at mid-day the day before, 17th October 2011. At short notice Duke's provided a private area in their front lounges and a lovely buffet for up to 35 relatives and... More

Stayed at this Inn during October to attend a wedding in sidmouth. We stayed in room 11 which was clean and comfortable. There were nice touches, for instance I forgot to bring something to buff my wedding shoes up with but there were shoe polishers in the bathroom, hot chocolate and a decent tv to watch the World Cup on!...

Slight issue with the Chefs special which we were told... More

Overall our stay was very pleasant, this was a wedding anniversary break. The Dukes is a very popular and busy place, when we arrived is was buzzing, we were checked in straight away without any problems, our room was a double with sea view. The only problem is parking, we had to park at the main car park opposite the... More

We arrived after a wet windy and expensive break in Cornwall and arrived here to a sunny light place with lovely staff, really nice room and fab food. On the first night we had hardly noticed our first courses were taking a little longer than normal and the manager insisted on taking our wine off the bill. The food was... More

Having recently returned from a Thursday to Sunday morning stay at Dukes, we had been very pleased and impressed with our stay until the Saturday night, when bar staff served drinks to non-residents who had obviously already had too much to drink, forcing myself and wife to leave the bar area earlier than we had intended. (People chanting 'football type... More

I showed up in Sidmouth with two children needing a room for the night and we found Duke's. Their room 14 was like a suite - one double and one single bed plus a "living area" with sofa and tv. It was really good value (80 quid) and fantastic location. (Right next to the esplanade). Very generous breakfast included in... More
