Book a hotel near The Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth

"It was an excellent stay. Sorry that it was only for one night, this time."

"There was a damp smell on entering the cottage, 3 light bulbs had blown & not replaced, lamp bulb connector loose in lounge & a broker /dangerous bulb holder in kitchen. Standard of decor was tired, bathrooms in need of some TLC. We had an unexpected visit 8:15pm from a man saying he had stayed in the cottage the week before, asking if we could check to see if he left a charger behind the double bed, it wasn't there, however the double socket was hanging off the wall. We didn't know him & felt this was strange thing to do late in the evening. This made us feel a little uneasy the 2 nights we stayed were not comfortable as we did not sleep well at all. It would have been better if there were a curtain on the front door this may have felt more secure. The rear bedroom window was un latched too which didn't help settle our nerves. We accept that we could have spoken to the owner but we didn't feel anything could have been done to make our stay better, however we did send 2 or 3 e-mails which were not replied to. We decided to leave early having stayed just 2 of the 4 nights we booked."

"The location was great for our purposes and the parking was good. Breakfasts were excellent, there was a nice patio and garden out the back. Well-run family B&B. The principal negatives were the noise (our suite overlooked the main road) and the very spasmodic Wi-Fi. At this price point it was disappointing."

"A lovely cosy property in a great location. A nice walk along the river Sid brings you out on the coast in Sidmouth. 2 minutes walk to a great chip shop and five mins walk to to two great pubs. Really enjoyed the stay and our hosts were lovely and helpful."
