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!

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

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

The location of the hotel is amazing for sure... however it does need some refurbishment especially in the room we had....It needs Air Conditioning in the hot weather The Bingo game was fun and a nice option - a quiz night might be good too.

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.

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!

This was only a quick bez down to Croyde to collect a coupla surfboards from Gulf Stream, and whilst I might otherwise stop at the Thatch B&B, at £111 [with a coupon] I couldn't find a good enough reason not to crash at the SSH.. Epic view; my Sister got married there in '04, and I proposed to my Wife there in '09..

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Staff & service
AMazing location, on top of gorgeous beach but the hotel is tired looking, in particular the carpets and door ways, and elevator, all seem very old and worn out, also maid service very poor, and some staff very dismissive, when checking in desk clerk and porter do it explain any of the services or amenities, we were there for 3 days before we know we had an hour each day in the spa, my room which was on the front of the hotel and looked into the guest arrival driveway had no sheers, so had to keep the drapes closed all the time…..Seemed like a 3 star hotel not 5 star.

A fantastic spa hotel overlooking the spectacular Saunton Sands. I really enjoyed my stay; I had several treatments and made the most of the thermal suite. My single bedded room was comfortable and I slept well. A few niggles- don’t say evening dining starts at 17.30 then not open the doors until nearly 6. Don’t state a dress code and child policy for dining after 6.30 then fail to enforce either - I had hoped it would be relatively child free in the evening but it was often very noisy from children running about. Personally I will look for an adult only spa next time. Other than those points I really liked it.
