We stayed in South Sands for the second time and it again exceeded our expectations. We treated ourselves to an amazing room which had fabulous views over the beach and sea which were made even better by relaxing in a wonderful in bedroom roll top freestanding bath. It has been my dream to be in a room with this for... More

My husband and I drove down to this hotel for lunch on a beautiful sunny day over the bank holiday weekend. We arrived and were delighted to find a table on the decking overlooking the beach and in the sun. We had the two course set menu lunch and it was excellent. It was reasonably busy being the bank holiday... More

My partner and I recently stayed at the South sands hotel and were lucky enough to have lovely sunny weather. The location is simply stunning in the South sands area in Salcombe in it's own little cove. We had a lovely room with sea views, I think it is a 'Yule' room on the website. There is a really cosy...

Stayed for one night as a last minute decision- it was just perfect! Great location, lovely staff, amazing food, modern spacious rooms and all looking over a superb beach. We travelled with our little boy, who was made to feel very welcome and I must add, the cot that the hotel provided was a proper wooden cot with a decent... More

We booked the South Sands having not visited the area before. I'd like to start by saying the location of the hotel is fabulous. When we booked a sea view room (Dragons), we expected to be able to see the sea by craning out of a side window during a gibbous moon. In actual fact, the room overhangs the beach.... More

Stayed for a couple of nights on impulse on way home to Dorset - a great decision. The location and views are outstanding, the hotel decorated in an appealing and airy New England style. Staff excellent, atmospheric, dog and children-welcoming bar, food top rate. Right next to ferry into Salcombe, so no need to take the car. Would highly recommend... More

Having read good reviews for this hotel, our recent trip was dissapointing. The hotel itself was clean and furnishing and decoration to a good standard. However the windows and doors do not cope well with cold weather, and our room was quite noisy. The staff were pleasant, but the food in the restaurant was poor. We tried the fish on... More

One of the very best hotels along the Southern England Coastline. We stayed for a wedding in March which took over the hotel. Every detail was cared for! The breakfast's were by far the best I've ever had in a hotel with almost whatever you would like on a buffet system and a la carte menu. The meal that was... More

Short three day break in this lovely hotel. After the narrow lanes and hairpin bends you reach the hotel at a most beautiful location directly on the beach. Fresh modern decor throughout. Bedroom was warm, spacious, beautifully decorated and had every amenity you could wish for. Sea view room definitely worth extra cost. Log fire in bar added to cosiness... More
