Autumn in Sidmouth
Elegance in East Devon
We return to the quintessential seaside town of Sidmouth in East Devon for a five-night early autumn break. We have been guests of the Royal York and Faulkner Hotel for many years, and know we will receive a warm welcome, great food and attentive service from the Hooke family and their team.
Please note that the itinerary for this tour is provisional. Full details will be provided nearer the date of departure.
