We were delighted to welcome the team from South West 660 on their recent journey along one of the UK’s most stunning road trips – and even more thrilled to feature as a stop on their carefully curated route.
For those who haven’t yet discovered it, the South West 660 is a spectacular 660-mile drive along the southwest coast of England, from the historic harbour town of Poole in Dorset to the rugged shoreline of Watchet in Somerset. This incredible journey takes in some of the most iconic landscapes in the country, weaving through picture-perfect villages, dramatic clifftops, and golden sandy beaches.
Our charming town of Sidmouth features as part of Section 3: Weymouth to Exeter, and the Royal Glen Hotel offers an ideal base for travellers seeking a peaceful and characterful stay while exploring the Jurassic Coast. With our historic Georgian building, welcoming atmosphere, and just a short stroll to the seafront, we’re a favourite with road trippers seeking a little comfort after a day of coastal exploration.
During their visit, the South West 660 team enjoyed a relaxing time with us – and we shared stories about Sidmouth’s rich heritage and local recommendations for food, walks, and hidden viewpoints.
We’re proud to be part of this exciting route and to offer travellers a warm welcome as they explore the best of the South West. Whether driving the full 660 miles or dipping into a section or two, we hope you’ll stop in Sidmouth and experience the unique charm of the Royal Glen Hotel.
