Saunton Sands Hotel Source Spa and Wellness, hotel in Woolacombe

On a cliff top overlooking Braunton Burrows, The Saunton Sands Hotel features a spa, 2 swimming pools and a popular restaurant. With views of Saunton Beach, it also offers free parking.

Every member of staff was polite, helpful and absolutely wonderful. Breakfast was lovely and was the bar & spa. Only criticism would be some parts of the rooms were a little shabby (damp marks walls) considering the price of the room. And we felt the main restaurant dinner was a bit of a let down

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat.

    The beaches are fabulous in Woolacombe, very sandy and flat. It's a huge surfing place so there's always plenty of surfers about. The amenities in the town are great, plenty of places to eat and get an ice cream, and touristy shops too to get your postcards and gifts from!

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times.

    As a family, we love Woolacombe and have visited many times. Our main reason is the fantastic beach and to go surfing. Everything is so clean and well maintained; the facilities are easily accessed, and everyone is very friendly. There are plenty of places to eat, whether it's lite bites, ice creams, waffles or a full meal, and we found a gluten-free diet was well catered for. Topping up on with groceries locally is easy and the bigger supermarkets in Ilfracombe are only a 10 minute drive away.

    Beautiful clean beach.

    Beautiful clean beach. Local amenities not too bad and remained clean even at the end of the day. Very few food or take away options in town so long waits for food - 40 mins or more wait for fish n chips from local take away or over an hour wait for pizza truck.

    I've been going to Woolacombe since I was four years old, and I'm now mid-30s... I'll be back there as often as I can be. It's a beautiful place to visit and I'll continue to for a long time to come.

    Lovely if the weather is good as you cannot improve on a vast beach, which is safe to bathe, swim and surf - good life saving regime in place. Woolacombe is reliant upon take away food facilities which are good but a little expensive.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches.

    Possibly one of Devons finest beaches. Great for boarders, surfers alike. Tide out and you have your rock pools. Dogs allowed in certain areas these being large areas of the beach so just dandy for all. Negative points are not many shops not many cafes restaurants compared to other by the seaside towns resorts and found to be quite expensive. Take a picnic is the answer if you want to save a pound or two. Great coastal walks, remember to pay for your parking otherwise you are likely to get a ticket.

    The location is fantastic with views to die for. If you cannot get a seaview from your room, then the hotel has a terrace overlooking the sea where you can have a drink and take in the breathtaking surroundings. The room was spotless and there was a really good choice at breakfast. The bar offered a good variety of bar snacks until quite late in the evening. The walk down to Woolacombe is very pleasant, but be warned, the walk up to Mortehoe village is very steep so don't attempt it if you have health issues or mobility problems.

    The views from the hotel are extraordinary: waves crashing on the shores, the most beautiful sunsets, surfers, cliffs. The food was delicious and service was excellent. We got a massage and Carol, the masseuse, was outstanding. The rooms with an ocean view were breathtaking, we left the windows open to hear the waves at night. The room, bed, and bathroom were the nicest we have seen in England. The grounds were beautiful and invited us to sit and watch the ocean. Truly a luxury hotel.

    Stunning location - beautiful vantage point overlooking Woolacombe Beach. The garden flat had a huge balcony perfect for sitting out and having a bbq and easy with a dog and toddler. Great facilities in the room, nice to have a sitting area and big bathroom. The hosts were very accommodating and lovely to chat too. We wished we could have stayed longer. the beach is perfect for kids and dogs, so clean and lots of places to eat and drink.

    Warm welcome by the people at reception. The hotel is old , but good for 1-2 night sleep. Check-in time 4- 10 pm. The food counter was closed by the time we reached there @ 9 pm, but they were generous to served food, considering we had a toddler. Very kind. We ordered lamb curry, rice & Nan. The food was very tasty, Kudos to the chef for cooking for us. Our stay was very pleasant, good sleep considering the hotel is on road.

    Kitchen facilities were great and Kerry had left us all the basics which was so helpful. Instructions for things like hot water were clear, beds comfortable, garden lovely to look out on when raining and a treat to sit in for breakfast in the sun. We were a 6 minute drive from Woolacombe beach and could have walked down the back road if we could have faced the walk back up the hill.

    Staff are attentive, courteous, friendly and extremely efficient. They made the stay all the more wonderful. Food and service was excellent. The hotel has two swimming pools (indoor and out), good size bedrooms and fine views over the Woolacombe coastline within close reach of the South Coast coast path, good pubs and the Tarka trail. Made for a wonderful three day break.

    We had a lovely stay at Fairways. The property is in a nice quiet location, just a short drive from the beautiful beach at Woolacombe. Fairways is a real home away from home. The owners had provided everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. will be returning and definitely recommend it to all.
