About the Hotel

Bolt Head, Salcombe, United Kingdom

South Sands Hotel is a 4-star beachfront property with a restaurant and bar based right on South Sands Beach in Salcombe, featuring a Ginnel Gallery that showcases local artists' work.

Diverse Room Options

Room 7 spans the width of the hotel on the first floor as the largest Sea View Super King Room, while Room 9 features a Super King bed that can be split into twins and includes two Robert Langford chairs. Enterprise and Optimist rooms are valley-facing with high-quality furnishings, and Room 1 offers full wheelchair accessibility via a ramp and handrails.

Local Dining Experience

The restaurant serves freshly-roasted coffee delivered straight from the Devon Roastery, where trained baristas ensure excellent flavor. Baya offers a deep, spicy dark roasted blend with notes of dark chocolate and sweet brightness, complemented by natural spring water from Devonia created near the villages of Beeson and Beesands.

Coastal Activities

Guests enjoy various marine activities supported by the local RNLI team, who provide essential safety education. The maritime environment stimulates creativity for both experienced artists and beginners, while yoga sessions offer breath awareness and body movement for physical refreshment and inner balance.

Scenic Beach Location

South Sands Hotel is positioned 80 km from Exeter International Airport on the South Devon coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering varied landscapes from sheltered coves to rugged headlands. The South Sands Ferry provides a fun way to travel by boat and experience the famous 'sea tractor' that greets arrivals at South Sands Beach.

Pet-Friendly Environment

Dog-friendly beaches nearby include East Portlemouth beaches across the estuary, Soar Mill Cove, South Milton Sands and Slapton Sands. Room 2 has French doors opening to a path leading directly to the beach, allowing guests to walk barefoot from the sunshine to their coastal sanctuary.
