Travelodge eyes Sidmouth expansion

Travelodge has set its sights on Sidmouth as a possible location for one of its budget hotels.

The chain opened 17 new hotels across the country in 2021, and has opened more than 80 in the last five years.

Sidmouth has been earmarked on the company's target location map, together with Exeter and Exmouth in the local area.

The list of potential expansion areas is 'not exhaustive', however, and the company is open to suggestions of other locations.

Travelodge currently has hotels at the Exeter M5 services, in Torquay and Paignton, and in Okehampton.

UK Development Director Tony O'Brien said: "We are currently seeking development opportunities that could incorporate a new Travelodge hotel, either on its own or as part of a mixed-use scheme, and will consider new developments and conversions of existing buildings and hotels operated by other brands.

"If you have details of a site or hotel that is available and could be redeveloped as a Travelodge then please contact our Development Manager responsible for the region where the property is located."
