Incredible setting excellent service

Had an amazing stay. The setting is incredible and they make the most of it. Each and every member of staff was very warm, friendly, super helpful and professional- they made it a great experience. Very dog friendly too which actually had such a nice atmosphere to it- without feeling at all like a doggie daycare. Highly recommended!

We stayed an extra night :)

We loved it here - quite secluded and beware the Devon country lanes that access it, but it’s in a stunning location and we even stayed an extra night! The staff were brilliant and the food was faultless. Lots of doggos too :)

Amazing sea view at Southsands Hotel

Booked a room with a full sea view which while booked seemed a bit expensive …when we were shown to our room it was worth every penny. Fantastic view right on the beach which feels like a private beach as essentially you can’t park at Southsands unless you are staying in one of the two hotels.

Great hotel stunning location

Beautifully located hotel, stunning views. Hotel staff were very helpful and welcoming. Large comfortable bed with great powerful shower. Would have preferred a later checkout and water in the room to be replenished for multiple night stay.

Room we stayed in is crying out for some maintenance and cleaning - not what you would expect at £180.00 per night - shame really because hotel is quite "posh" but doesn't deliver on overall appearance. Food and drinks not cheap but better quality than room

Sunday lunch and overnight stay

Fantastic Sunday lunch and overnight stay. Had a late lunch and a very relaxed afternoon looking at the beautiful view before moving to the fireside sofas for an evening of board games, cheese and wine. Fabulous staff, lovely room. Overall a wonderful short break.

Great hotel but a little remote

Great hotel and lovely stay. It is on an estuary along a narrow lane (single track in parts) and nearest town/shops a good 30 minute walk with some extremely steep parts to climb, so not for the less able in my opinion. However, a great spot to visit other pretty places if you dont mind relying on your car daily.
