“Dukes Inn, with its medieval-themed decor, sits right on Sidmouth's seafront; I get the feeling of stepping back in time but with beach access. The hotel's commitment to local culture and sustainable dining is evident in its themed nights, which, although some opinions may vary, seems like an experience itself. It strikes me as a solid base for exploring the Jurassic Coast.”

There were parking spaces available. We parked two cars during our stay. If full, there's a car park a couple minutes walk away.
