Great hotel and lovely stay. It is on an estuary along a narrow lane (single track in parts) and nearest town/shops a good 30 minute walk with some extremely steep parts to climb, so not for the less able in my opinion. However, a great spot to visit other pretty places if you dont mind relying on your car daily.

Lovely stay at the South Sands.
Room was comfortable with a huge walk in shower and separate roll top bath.
Included breakfast was great and dinner was also very good.
Perfect setting on the beach.
Had a great free car park.
Only fault was sound proofing of the room. Was quite noisy, especially when trying to go to sleep. Luckily we always pack ear plugs so didn’t affect us for long.
I had read previous reviews about the roads leading to the hotel but nothing could have prepared me from the nail biting experience when you had to go anywhere!

Sea views, clean, comfortable and quiet. The seafood restaurant is excellent, every meal looks colourful and fresh.The staff are always ready to help, excellent service all round. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return many times.

No hot water in the hotel which was beyond disappointing, given the fact that I craved the heat after a rainy 19km walk. Most unfortunately, the dining experience was excruciatingly uncomfortable, being forgotten about outside whilst my table in the warmth was given away. What’s the point of attractive decor if you cannot get the basics right?
4.0
Lovely staff, couldn’t have been more helpful. Food very good. Just thought room needed a bit of tiding/painting, bathrooms needed re grouting etc. it didn’t affect our stay, but is top money and except it to be right. We stayed in a sea view room with doors to open but no window to let any air in. So it was the door open which not sure on security of that. And there was no air-conditioning. All in all a lovely place.

This hotel offers warmth and personality. The customer service is perfect both for humans and dogs. The sea views from the room is fantastic, you can hear the waves as you fall asleep. Third visit.

We booked just one night away from the kids. Mid-January so weather wasn’t great but it’s lovely cozy hotel. Salcombe is easily walkable and the views are fantastic. The food in the restaurant was very good, both the evening meal and breakfast were excellent and the views looking out of the beach and across the estuary from the table really make it. Very enjoyable stay.

The staff were amazing with a great welcome. Courtesy check after occupying the room was a clever touch. Dinner was excellent and breakfast came a little too soon - should have walked before breakfast to make room. Thank you for a great night.

Beautiful setting, being able to walk straight out on to the beach was amazing. Our room was huge (no11) with a sea view, bath in the middle of the room was novel but it also had a fantastic shower. Good breakfast and our meal in the restaurant one evening was faultless.

A fantastic location. Rooms very comfortable. The restaurant could up its game a bit - breakfasts were very mediocre. Poor quality fruit and bread. Given the fantastic local produce they really could do better.

It’s Salcombe so it’s lovely, not cheap but value for the area on this occasion. Staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Hotel is lovely, breakfast was very good. Dog friendly and the dog loved it!

The South Sands is a lovely coastal hotel, with an excellent dining experience, literally on the beach but in a reasonably quiet location with safe parking. Dogs are also accommodated and there is even clean white towels to rub the dog down when they have finished playing in the sea/beach. The staff are very efficient, friendly and wish to please their guests.
We really enjoyed our stay and are looking to retune to year.

Wonderful for dogs though dog rate per night excessive. Bed a trifle hard. Back bedroom was fine and lovely and sunny in afternoon. Quiet at night. Disliked the constant musak though especially at breakfast time. No residents lounge which is a shame when no chair in our bedroom but comfortable sofas in a small area where people could eat and drink. Downstsirs is really all a great big eating place rather than a place to read and relax and take in the view which is what i was hoping for. Super site and friendly helpful staff.
