The Kingswood Hotel - A pet-friendly seaside hotel with sea-view restaurant and proximity to East Devon's natural beauty

Overlooking the sea from Sidmouth's Esplanade, The Kingswood Hotel offers 49 rooms with flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi, some featuring views of Lyme Bay. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily in the restaurant, where guests can also enjoy lunch and dinner with coastal vistas. Nearby attractions include Knapp Copse Local Nature Reserve (4 minutes by car) and the historic Seaton Tramway. The hotel provides dry cleaning services, luggage storage, and free bottled water in rooms. Pets are welcome in designated accommodations, and free public parking is available nearby. The Salt Path walking route and Sidmouth Beach are within walking distance.

Pros

The on-site restaurant serves meals with direct sea views.

Free breakfast and Wi-Fi enhance the guest experience.

Proximity to the Jurassic Coast and local nature reserves makes it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.

Well-behaved pets are accommodated in specified rooms.

Cons

Some rooms include DVD players, which may be redundant for modern travelers.

Limited indoor entertainment options beyond dining and lounges.

“What struck me most is the staff's dedication; reading about their attentiveness makes it clear they prioritize guest comfort. Overlooking the sea in Sidmouth is a prime location, and reports of recent renovations suggest a fresh, modern feel inside, from bedrooms to bathrooms. The breakfast also seems to be a highlight.”
