It is pleasantly situated approximately ten minutes walk from Sidmouth's elegant regency shops and sea front.

Hunters Moon Hotel was originally called Salcombe House and was built in approximately 1791, by a Mrs Brutton. In 1810 Reverend William Jenkins (who was Lord of the Manor) lived here whilst his house in Vicarage road was used as a lodging house. Later, the lease was passed to Sir William Cockburn and then in 1841 to Sir Charles John Cornish.
Due to the age of the building all our classic double rooms are of varying shapes, sizes and floors (Hunters Moon does not have a lift), all enjoy an ensuite with bath and shower over the bath with complimentary toiletries.
These rooms are on the ground floor and enjoy their own balcony overlooking the gardens, all have an ensuite with bath and shower over the bath and complimentary toiletries. These rooms have a south westerly facing balcony with a table and chairs that overlook our extensive gardens.
These rooms are generally used by the less mobile and are on the ground floor, once inside there are no steps to negotiate from the bedroom to the public rooms, each room has a garden balcony and wet room. Extra grab rails, fold down shower seat and complimentary toiletries all help to take the stresses out of your stay.

Loved the hotel. Loved the gardens. Loved the food. Our room was on the ground floor with a balcony. The room was very spacious and had a large bathroom/ wet room. Plenty of parking spaces, all of which are being equipped with EV charging points, that's a work in progress but I would say 3/4 completed. Very large gardens with loads of outside seating, some on patio, some on grass.

There's a path that leads out onto the Byes which is a very pretty park that runs alongside the river Sid. Food is great. Massive breakfast. Dinner is a set price for 3 courses with a choice of 4 dishes per course. We really enjoyed or 4 nights and hopefully we'll be back.

Enjoyed the whole experience but I feel there should be a small fridge in the room, really dislike uht milk in my tea. Service at breakfast and dinner was fast and efficient and the grounds are extremely well looked after

Beautiful Hotel with extensive grounds including a small putting green. Stayed for two nights on a B&B basis. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Room was of a good size and bed extremely comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Easy check in, with friendly staff. The room was located top of the building with two flights of stairs to climb but had lovely views of the surrounding area, the Byes in particular. The room was spacious and comfortable, but this being an old building the floor in the bathroom was uneven. The shower glass screen wouldn't stay in situe and would swing towards you while showering.

This seemed to feel dangerous with this being a glass plate that could be easily broken. There was also a unpleasant odour emanating from the plumbing. But cleared with the windows open. The breakfast was excellent with a request for the bacon to be cooked a little more which wasn't to much trouble. Also the evening meal was very nice.

The staff are so caring and professional. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They make each guest feel special. The standard of cleanliness is superb and the choice of food at breakfast and dinner is excellent. Looking forward to our next visit which will be our 3rd. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Really lovely hotel and I had a wonderful stay. It is spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated so was really welcoming. I stayed for bed and breakfast for a week, my room was clean and comfortable, and there were obviously well considered 'covid secure' measures in place. The breakfasts were delicious with lots of choice of things to have. I also ate at the hotel in the evening a number of times and this again, was really excellent and high quality.

The staff were all so friendly and helpful and really made my family and I feel so very welcome. I would recommend the Hunters Moon to anyone who wants a comfortable, relaxing stay, with excellent food and lovely friendly staff. Thank you for a lovely holiday, Hunters Moon!

Very clean a tidy and very spacious rooms. Unfortunately we were only here for one night but felt very welcomed. The breakfast was also very nice although a little greasy.

Charming hotel set in beautiful grounds, not far from beach and town centre. Walls quite thin so you can hear snoring from your neighbours! Very little effort made for vegans though. not even spread for toast at breakfast. Menu for dinner is pretty appalling too, no sign of creativity:
