Blue Ball Inn, Sidmouth, Devon

The Blue Ball Inn has a history dating back to 1385, the construction of a thatch over cob and flint provides the atmosphere of a bygone age and a timelessness which is felt when entering this fine old inn.

Destroyed in March 2006, rebuilt with tender care and completed at the end of September 2007 we believe we have succeeded in recapturing the unique atmosphere.

Run by the same family since 1912 and the present generation of Roger, Linda and their daughter Rebecca extend a warm Devon welcome to all their guests.

Visiting us is simple, as we are only 20 minutes from Exeter and we have a large and well-lit car park.

Situated in the picturesque village of Sidford, we are only a few minutes from the M5 motorway and the A303 carriageway. We are ideally placed for visiting all of the locations in Devon, the beautiful south coast and its stunning walks are only a ten minute drive and Exeter is only 25 minutes away.

Nearby are the beautiful seaside towns of Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Beer and others as well as Crealy Adventure Park for the children. Due to our position near to the motorway, within an hour you could even be on stunning Dartmoor.
