"Our room no. 12 was quite small but had a large shared decking area with views of the coastline and we sat out there with drinks before venturing out. The decking needs attention with several areas having loose boards and some raised areas. Both of which are safety issues. The room was warm but we had a excellent oscillating fan. The hotel service and staff are excellent and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant on our second evening with views of the sea. We ate at Roma Italian the first evening, which was nice.
We used the bar area at times and the terrace and also the outdoor swimming pool one afternoon. Everywhere was quiet and relaxing and we were so lucky with the weather too! Sidmouth is a lovely town and we visited the various gardens and views and walked alongside the river Sid on a circular walk. We explored every corner of Sidmouth! The Salcombe Tap House, (for a beer or wine facing the sea, right at the far east end of the seafront), was very nice as was the beer and wine. You can have a taster first to see what beer you like best, a nice touch! Lovely staff too...
Thank you to all at the Harbour Hotel for looking after us so well for our 2 nights stay before heading off to Cornwall and the Eden Project.
