Stunning location, fantastic hotel, amazing staff and the food was perfect. ##### Lee Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities All the staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was great, I didn't fully understand the heating and ventilation but that was down to me. the beach view from the dining room was excellent and the local walks in and around South Sands were great. All the meals we had were 1st class especially breakfast We Walked to Salcombe a couple of times and although its a little hilly the views made up for it. We only had a three day stay but the time passed in the blink of an eye. This was a really great stay for myself and my wife and we will return. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike 26 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Hotel.

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. ##### Jim Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aidan 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Aidan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay.
