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!

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 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 :)

10/10

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.

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.

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
