Coombe Bank Guest House  

Perched in Sidmouth's residential quarter, a short walk from Sidmouth Museum and the Norman Lockyer Observatory. This 4-star guest house sits next to a golf course and is about 1.4 miles from Sidmouth Beach and the South West Coast Path.

Small and personal — just five guestrooms with pillowtop beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, DVD players and flat-screen TVs. One ground-floor room has garden access; private bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations and complimentary toiletries, and hosts aim to cater special diets with advance notice.

Relax in an award-winning garden with a terrace, picnic area and barbecue grills, or stroll the nearby coastal paths. Free Wi‑Fi, ample off-street self parking, an elevator for accessibility and a tidy snack bar/deli round out the comforts.

A conference hall is available for meetings and board sessions, with luggage storage and express check-out on offer. An airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge, and complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

A complimentary hot-and-cold buffet plus a cooked-to-order breakfast is served each morning. On-site dining and a snack bar/deli focus on locally sourced fare and can accommodate dietary needs when told in advance.
