Seafront inn on the Jurassic Coast - 3-star comfort with award-winning dining
Location & Setting
Dukes Inn sits directly on Sidmouth's seafront, nestled on the sandstone cliffs that form part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Jacob's Ladder, which leads to a viewing point of Jacob's Ladder Beach and the entrance of Connaught Gardens, is less than 2 miles away. Sidmouth Golf Club is a 5-minute drive, and Beer Quarry Caves are 16 minutes by car.
Dining
The award-winning restaurant serves a daily menu using fresh local produce, including an assortment of fish and game. Special themed dining nights - such as steak night and fish and chip night - offer diverse culinary experiences. The fully-stocked bar offers a variety of ales, cider, and wine, and there is a sea-facing patio garden for outdoor dining.
Rooms & Amenities
Spacious rooms come with en suite facilities, a flat-screen TV with DVD player, iPod docking station, and tea and coffee making equipment. Some rooms offer picturesque sea views through sash windows, and guests can fall asleep to the sound of waves on the pebble beach. The hotel provides free limited onsite parking and a free sweet trolley on the landing for guests.
Family & Pet-Friendly
Family rooms are available, and children can order from a kids' menu. The hotel is dog-friendly, providing dog beds, bowls, and a goody bag with treats and poo bags, plus a dedicated patio area for guests with pets. Special diet menus and high chairs are offered upon request.
Sustainability & Community
Dukes Inn holds a sustainability certification and implements sustainable practices in its dining and hotel operations, such as refillable gel dispensers and towel-saving options.
