Located on the stunning English Channel, the quiet resort town of Sidmouth in Devon has been a favoured holiday destination for centuries. Its historical tales date back to pre-recorded history, with Sidbury, a village within Sidmouth's valley, boasting Saxon origins and a seventh-century church crypt. Notable for its part in the Domesday Book as 'Sedemuda,' the town grew into a flourishing market town in the 1200s.

With its pivotal location at the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, Sidmouth offers a colourful blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that draws countless visitors each year. Despite its unsuccessful attempts to construct a harbour, the town has become renowned for its stunning esplanade, a Regency masterpiece that has stood the test of time, despite suffering from storm damage.

From the Norman Lockyer Observatory and Planetarium to the famed annual Sidmouth Folk Week, this delightful resort town is a breeding ground for intrigue and fascination. Recognised in various literary works and known to be a favourite haunt of J.R.R. Tolkien, Sidmouth's charm knows no bounds.

When to visit Sidmouth

The ideal times to book a hotel and explore Sidmouth are during the warm and pleasant months of June, July, and August. Enjoy balmy beach days and lively events that brim with the spirit of summer. However, if you enjoy quieter explorations laced with attractive deals, spring and autumn offer milder temperatures and fewer crowds.

Regardless of when you choose to visit, keep in mind that Sidmouth experiences high humidity throughout the year, with November being the most humid. Wind usually doesn't pose a problem except for a gentle breeze in January. The low chance of significant rainfall during the months of September, April, and June provides an added incentive for outdoor explorations. Finally, if snow's not your cup of tea, rest assured that it rarely snows in Sidmouth.
