About Dukes Inn

A proper meal and a pint are never far away at Dukes Inn, where the restaurant and bar form the heart of the place and outdoor seating lets guests eat and drink with a view over the Esplanade. It's a straightforward setup that suits anyone who wants their evening meal sorted without leaving the building, and staff are on hand around the clock via 24 hour reception.

Rooms are en-suite and kept simple, with free WiFi throughout and a laundry service available for longer stays. The hotel sits directly on Sidmouth's seafront, putting the beach and town within easy reach on foot, and there's no parking on site, so it suits guests arriving by train or bus, or who don't mind finding a space nearby.

Beyond the doors, the Devon coast and countryside open up for walking and cycling, with golf, fishing and watersports all available in the area, plus further restaurants and entertainment nearby for those who fancy a change of scene. It's a fair base for exploring Sidmouth without needing a car for the essentials.
