The history of afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is a very British tradition and one that we like to maintain at the Royal York & Faulkner Hotel.

It was so lovely to stay in a hotel where the quality and service looks back to an era when it was commonplace. A very enjoyable stay!
Staff are unfailingly helpful, friendly good old fashioned service in traditional style but up to date where necessary.
It surpassed our expectations and we will be coming back to you again and again Thank you see you soon.
I have stayed at many hotels in Sidmouth over the last 30 years, and the Royal York & Faulkner is by far the best value for money. I shall definitely be back next year.
It is always a delight to return, especially since the important basics never change. Thank you.
Personal touch and attention to detail very much appreciated. Cuisine excellent.
Lovely relaxed atmosphere, plenty of space and elegant charm-particularly our room and the coffee lounge.
Hotel is ideally situated to explore Sidmouth & surrounding areas. Great short break, excellent value.
We are so pleased to have discovered this gem of a hotel our stay has been wonderful; staff couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay went well.
We loved our annual visit here and would come more often if we could! Everything runs smoothly nothing is too much trouble.
Lovely friendly hotel. All your staff have this message. Very efficient staff. You’ve got it right!
We like the attention to detail. The crisp laundered table ware. The clean cutlery and table settings. Friendly atmosphere.
