Bar & Lounge at South Sands

Relax and Unwind by the Beach

Sophistication and relaxation effortlessly combine over sweeping sea views and perfectly chilled wine.

Relish your coffee on the terrace as the day ahead rises with the glowing morning sun. Drift onto the beach, a mere few steps from the comfort of our terrace.

When the days get shorter and the sea breeze brisk, seek comfort by our open fire and witness dramatic waves crashing on the estuary while you nestle down with a luxury hot chocolate or comforting glass of red wine. Put your feet up, settle in and unwind, wholly refreshed.

Drinks by the Fire

This winter and into the early months of the year, wrap yourself in the warmth of crackling fires and the cosy glow of candlelight. Take your time to unwind with leisurely conversations by the fire, where every moment invites relaxation. Pour another glass, order another round—here, the pace slows and the gentle rhythm of winter and early spring takes over.

Imagine easing into your morning with a steaming cup of coffee on our tranquil sunrise terrace. The crisp air mingles with the comforting warmth of your drink. Let the calm stillness of the morning set the tone for a slow, unhurried day ahead.

Wine

At South Sands, wine is more than a list on our menu. It’s finding that perfect pairing that pulls together your dining experience. It’s knowing that while the waves crash outside and the evening draws in, warmth and relaxation awaits inside, accompanied by our classic wines from the Loire, Burgundy, Rhone Valley and Bordeaux.

As an independent hotel, our wines are sourced from independent and family-owned suppliers including wines from Ellis Wines, established in 1822. We’re also delighted to promote truly exceptional sparkling wines from the Gusbourne Estate, some of which, in our opinion, are finer that most comparable champagnes.
