For a single person – as part of a group - a good hotel to stay in. Rear facing room, ok-ish in size, with the uncommon bonus of a real bath. No fridge though other singles did. Excellent indoor swimming pool – 27C so very comfortable. Decent sized sauna. Didn’t try the outdoor pool because of weather but understand it... More

My wife and I try to get away once a year away from the kids and rekindle the old days. We choose carefully as we don't get the chance very often. We like good food and wine and a bit of a pamper, hence given the bumpf on the website choose Saunton for this years trip. We were given a... More

We seem to be on continual search for perfect family friendly hotel and this one rates very highly in our books. Great kids club- we have 4 children; 3 who were able to stay at the kids club and they loved it. Great kids nanny. Small pool but the kids enjoyed it. Kids tea was a little unimaginative but I...

Excellent location overlooking the huge beach. I had a sea view room, which was a little dated, but no issues with it. Food was good in the restaurant, although the wine list is on the expensive side. Would stay here again.

We booked three nights at the Saunton Sands as a last minute dash away on the Easter Bank Holiday Monday. Booking on the phone was efficient , a very nice reservations lady sorted everything and email a confirmation arrived within a few minutes. Arrived on the Tuesday after Easter and was given the room keys by a helpful lady and... More

If you are looking for dramatic scenery then look no further than this hotel, make sure you get a sea view. Food is very good and service also good. Bit like going back in time. A great place just to chill and relax, although in winter not really a place for the youngsters. Enjoy I am sure you will.

Just had to take a few mins to thank you all for a super relaxing anniversary break earlier this week. Customer service, food, accommodation all lovely. We were lucky enough to have a sea view room (with the new larger balcony) and this really let us make the most of the superb weather. We had lunch on the terrace -... More

We have just returned from a two night break at the hotel and felt compelled to right a review (which is a first !).... seaview room ... great meals ... lovely location...fantastic pools... attentive to children.... and finally the FRIENDLIEST staff we have ever encountered.

We did not stay at the hotel, but visited several times during a local stay. We experienced breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea on different occasions. We visited as we were frequent visitors many years ago. We were not at all disappointed to find that not only has this lovely hotel not lost anything over the years, but in difficult times... More

My wife and I have just returned from a short stay at Saunton after a nine-year absence and we were delighted to find that not a lot has changed. That's because they would have been messing with a winning formula: this is a 'traditional' hotel with one of the finest sea views in the land and it offers an excellent... More
