Meetings & Events
An exceptional Devon meeting and events venue, our boutique hotel, moments from the beach and with sweeping views of the Jurassic Coast, can host all kinds of conferences, meetings and events.
Meetings & private events work so much better in great venues, in great locations. Nestled on a hillside in this charismatic seaside town, this recently-refurbished, 56-room boutique hotel has sweeping, unbroken views across Lyme Bay and the magnificent Jurassic coastline - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It’s steps from the beach, minutes from the town, perfectly located for coastal walks and watersports, and boasts an enviable outdoor terrace with heated swimming pool. It’s a stand-out venue for any conference, meeting or event.
Before and after your event, why not stay a night and take advantage of our luxury spa and fitness centre, and a selection of great, locally-themed activities and experiences. See our staff’s recommendations of the best activities, attractions & events in Sidmouth and the wider Devon area here.
The closest train station is Honiton which is 20-minutes by car. The hotel is also a 35-minute drive from Exeter St David’s train station and a 15-minute drive from Exeter Airport. For those coming by car, a limited number of spaces are available on-site, or alternatively, there is a public car park opposite offering parking for £6 per 24 hours.
