The town's handsome Victorian architecture abounds in this popular seaside resort on the English Channel in Devon. Sidmouth lies at the mouth of the River Sid in a gorgeous, sweeping valley between Peak Hill and Salcombe Hill. The town is surrounded on all sides by the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The red-coloured rock that surrounds you is also a permanent reminder than you are on the Jurassic Coast.

Inside the hotel you have a compelling blend of old-fashioned service and present-day comforts. Many of the classically furnished guest rooms feature spectacular sea views. The 26 bedrooms are equipped with a digital TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and an Internet access point.

The en suite bathroom boasts both a bath and a shower, along with bathrobes, a hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Whether you stay on holiday or on business you will be treated to the kind of friendly personal attention that can only be found in a privately-owned hotel of this quality.

Guests at Hotel Riviera will enjoy AA rosette-awarded cuisine in the air-conditioned dining room, with bay views. The hotel restaurant uses fresh local produce, with an emphasis on seafood. There is also a stylish cocktail bar.
