SIDMOUTH IN DEVON UK: Sorry fans (of which there are many) but for me it is a strange old place!

…h the backdrop of sweeping beach and sea this fits the bill perfectly. The hotels seem quite cheap even in the peak season. We had a drink in the Riveria hotel and again it feels like you are caught in a strange time warp. Both the decor and the service is very 1970s.

The Ritz Carlton does not have that feel, and it is hard to work out why as it should. On the positive side: · It is in a great location right down at Battery Park, near to where the boats go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
