Lovely hotel set on South Sands beach. Room nice - we had one looking out over road and car park - seaview ones more expensive. Walls are thin and you hear the plumbing system in morning when others are using their bathrooms. Breakfast is a delight, overlooking the sea and choice is excellent. You can take the boat from the beach to Salcombe town fir under a fiver. We did it one-way and walked back. Lovely coastal walk just over a mile so not too far. Road access to the hotel is quite challenging as they are very narrow and steep.

Excellent

Really excellent breakfast selection

Delicious choice of breakfast. It was not clear on the booking that dogs were not welcome in all rooms therefore we had to pay extra for a deep clean. Not the end of the world but annoying start to our stay

It’s a really nice hotel. Staff are really nice and the food is fabulous. You won’t regret booking.

Yes

This is our third visit we absolutely love it here. Peaceful and relaxing, delicious food and atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble. Home from home for us. And your dogs are welcome here too.

Excellent Hotel, Friendly Staff, Great Food

I could bring my dog is great and a good breakfast will come again.

We had a most enjoyable first stay at South Sands having had to change our plans at short notice due to an injury which meant that my husband was unable to fly. As we arrived to check-in Jonathan the food and beverages manager gave us the warmest of welcomes, he presides over an excellent team. The menu was extensive and varied using the delicious fresh local fish and seafood to its full advantage, the lobster bisque amongst other dishes is to be highly recommended. The beach view room was well appointed, fresh milk to make hot beverages along with local biscuits and complimentary water was a lovely touch. We were a little surprised when we requested a second cappuccino at breakfast to be told that this incurs an extra charge after discussion with the general manager it was explained this is during the summer season. Having never encountered such a policy in many other hotels both in the UK and overseas we felt it was perhaps a short sighted policy from the point of view of guest satisfaction when so much else at the hotel is to be commended including the very friendly staff.

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.

Beautiful room with a sea view . Very helpful and friendly staff . Great choice of fabulous food . Would highly recommend .

Very helpful, friendly staff; excellent cuisine, relaxed, idyllic setting.

Perfect location, comfortable, cosy and homely. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. Service and food in restaurant excellent

Excellent location.

A ground-floor room with a 'balcony' with a partial view of the beach, but quite acceptable. Clean and tidy, but mattress too firm. The hotel was overrun by dogs which were apparently given free reign in the restaurant. We were left wondering if the serving staff washed their hands after petting the animals before serving the next dish. If we had realised just how 'dog friendly' this hotel was, we would not have booked. . Staff very friendly and helpful.
