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.

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.

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

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

Ok n

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.

We had high expectations of this hotel because we have wanted to stay here for a long time, and it totally met our expectations and more. The staff created a happy friendly atmosphere and are an asset to the hotel, nothing was too much trouble and they were super attentive. The views from the hotel are stunning and the Art Deco beauty of the girl itself was maintained - decadence was the watchword.
