About Balfour Arms

Free on-site parking is a rare find this close to the seafront, and the Balfour Arms on Woolbrook Road in Sidmouth offers just that, along with a garden to sit in when the Devon weather allows. It's a straightforward base for a coastal break, with 24 hour reception and room service adding a bit of flexibility to the stay.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks in room and free WiFi, and breakfast is served on site, with the restaurant and bar covering meals and evening drinks; kids' meals are available too, so families are catered for. Pets are welcome, which makes it an easier choice for anyone travelling with a dog.

Sidmouth itself sits within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast, and the surrounding area offers walking and cycling routes, fishing, watersports and a golf course nearby, plus pubs, restaurants and entertainment close by for evenings out. It suits guests who want a comfortable, no-fuss stopping point for exploring the coastline rather than a destination in itself.
