The Elizabeth - 3-Star Hotel in Sidmouth, England

The Elizabeth has been a family-run business for over 70 years, standing directly on Sidmouth's seafront with views over the red sandstone cliffs of the World Heritage Coast. The hotel offers free on-site parking (first come, first served) and free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can access Sidmouth's pebble beach directly from the hotel, and the town centre with its shops is a short walk away.

All 28 rooms come with an en-suite bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms offer sea views, including superior twin and double rooms with balconies or Juliet balconies. Single rooms are also available, and a lift serves all floors.

The on-site restaurant serves a seasonal menu that changes nightly, focusing on local fish and meat. Guests can enjoy a complimentary full breakfast each morning, with options like Eggs Royale and a buffet of cereals and pastries. In warmer months, light snacks and drinks are served on a flower-filled patio facing the sea.

The hotel sits on the Esplanade, directly opposite the beach and a short walk from Sidmouth's shops and restaurants. A 500-foot trek up Peak Hill offers views over Sidmouth and the coast, and the Jurassic Coast walking paths pass nearby. The charming town of Lyme Regis is also within easy reach for day trips.

The Elizabeth emphasises environmentally-friendly practices, using eco-friendly materials in bedding and refillable soap dispensers. The hotel welcomes families with children, offering room types that accommodate groups, such as twin rooms with sea views.
