While dukes is right in the center of all the action and the staff was lovely, the accommodations were lacking some creature comforts. My room was so incredibly hot and it was only 65 degrees when I was there and I could t get a breeze. There is no mini fridge if you want to keep any food and the shower only has soap. For the price I think it was a bit underwhelming. The breakfast was nice though. Sidmouth is beautiful, I would absolutely travel there again.

We had a fantastic stay at Dukes. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. Our room was clean and we were really impressed with the size of it. Location is perfect, meant we didn’t have to drive once we arrived in Sidmouth. Breakfast was an extra treat too! We will definitely be back!
