Great hotel, spa to die for

The saunton sands hotel is fantastic. the only issue i has is that i could only afford to book a single room for the week and when i got there they were kind enough to upgrade me for free to a double room, the room its self for £795 for 4 nights in March i thought was a little underwhelming. Everything else about the hotel was fantastic, service was great and the spa/pool were lovely

Almost perfect …

Amazing views from a very comfortable sea view room. Lovely big bed which was so comfortable. The hotel is beautifully decorated with a gorgeous garden and position over the bay. The only disappointing aspect for me was the staff who, although very professional, were quite stand-offish!

Lives up to it’s reputation

This is a beautifully situated hotel with great views over the beach and coast. The service levels are exceptional and staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The communal rooms are well presented as are the adjoining gardens and play areas. This is an ideal hotel for both couples and families

I travel a lot with work and also to take part in endurance events and I stayed in this hotel to take part in North Devon marathon on Sunday. I was impressed with everything about this hotel, the service from all staff was above and beyond what I was expecting, I used the Spa facility and loved the Jacuzzi overlooking the Sea and beach, the service at both Dinner and Breakfast were exceptional and the beach area nearby was lovely.
