A warm welcome after our long journey, which relaxes you straight away. We were shown our room, and it met our needs. We celebrated our Wedding Anniversary over this time, and found the staff very approachable, with the Breakfast having a good choice overlooking the beach. Ample secure carparking facility next too the hotel. The facilities in the hotel/ room, met our needs. We would recommend to others, and hope to return in the not too distant future.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
