About Royal Glen Hotel
The Royal Glen is a long-established, family-run hotel occupying an elegant Edwardian building just back from Sidmouth's Esplanade. Its period interiors, from grand staircases to comfortable lounges, give it a character that regulars have come back for across generations, and it has built a strong reputation for warm, personal service.
Facilities include an indoor swimming pool and a dining room serving traditional, well-executed food, while the hotel welcomes both families and dogs, making it more flexible than some of the town's adults-only or purely upmarket options. It operates seasonally, generally from February to November.
Its setting just off the seafront keeps it within easy walking distance of the beach and town centre, while its slightly lower price point compared with the grand esplanade hotels makes it a popular mid-range choice for repeat visitors to Sidmouth.

What guests say
A well run hotel, close to the seafront. We had a really nice twin room where Queen Victoria stayed when she was younger. A really nice modern bathroom. Plenty of parking with overflow available. A nice comfortable bar area. All the staff were very friendly.

We only stayed one night but will find the time to return. Lovely friendly hotel, we stayed as part of a group and everyone enjoyed the time at the hotel. Having organised the visit I found the team easy to deal with when preparing the visit and feedback from group members who just came for the lunch, approx 35 people was excellent. Hope to be back soon.
