Staff were variable from courteous and welcoming to indifferent. The spa facilities are too small for the size of the hotel. Menu options were uninspiring and generally overpriced. Best thing about the hotel is undoubtedly the fantastic view

The views from the lounge were lovely.

Hotel was spotless, staff excellent and spa amazing.

Everything fine. Overnight stop for a business meeting the following morning. Didn’t really have chance to have a good look around. View from room/ balcony looking out onto Saunton Sands was beautiful.

great

The staff make this hotel, all wonderfully friendly and gave the 5* experience

Art deco style great location

Nice room, but without a sea view. Great amenities, all but one of the staff were fantastic, one of the female serving staff came across quite rude.

Friendly staff in a clean environment. Was lucky to have room overlooking the sea. Stunning view

great beach views; lounges spacious and in art deco style; dining pleasant but pricey- not a great deal of menu choice; helpful and welcoming staff; car park notices a bit threatening but registering the car at reception overcomes this for guests; lack of local facilities but braughton and crowde within a shortish drive from the hotel.

Amazing sea views from front of hotel, great facilities, thermal suite is excellent. Overall lovely stay and great beach access though some areas are a little bit tired.

Put simply, a most enjoyable stay

Upscale coastal beach, beautiful scenery up in mountains, surrounded by ocean views and surfing waves.

Had a third floor, beach-facing, pool-view room with a balcony. Stunning setting on top of the cliff! The prices at Beachside Grill and in the hotel were quite high but this was to be expected given the location. Nice pool area and beautiful lawn terraces, very refreshing after a long day of hiking the coast path! Friendly, helpful, professional staff. Breakfast was fine. Only minor niggle was the bathroom. Overcomplicated shower so difficult to find the correct temperature and pressure! Only had one night stay, would love to have stayed longer to make full use of the spa and wellness facilities and the beach.

Hotel is in a fabulous position and has recently undergone refurbishment in the main areas. Bedrooms and bathrooms are older in style. Supper menu is great in main restaurant but you do have to book. Mornings the same - need to book but breakfast range is limited and same every day.

Great location.

A beautiful setting with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable beds, friendly staff, clean room with good amenities. I also had a stunning beach view. Nothing was too much trouble. They even catered for my Gluten sensitivity. The food at Breakfast and dinner was absolutely delicious. My massage was heavenly also. The only think I didn’t like was the fact I had to leave such a wonderful place!

Our room was small but clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a bottle of wine which was reasonably priced and the fish and chips were delightful. Our evening meal was also delicious and so nice not to be rushed. All staff were very helpful and friendly, we only stayed one night but would certainly recommend.

I stayed for a long weekend for some R&R. Beautifully positioned hotel with an exceptional view, right on the beach. The food, service and spa were fabulous. Highly recommend.

Saunton Sands is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Devon with a stunning view, first-class customer service, a superb restaurant and excellent facilities for all age groups. The Spa and swimming pool are exceptional.
