South Sands Hotel Salcombe

Witness sunrise glitter on the water or watch stormy waves crash to the shore. Whatever the season, you won’t miss a moment of our dramatic surroundings with the unbroken views of our sea view rooms.  

Choose from one of the popular Dragon rooms, many with Juliette balconies and views across the beach below, or our sea view Yawl room with a walk-in shower. If you feel like pushing the boat out, experience South Sands at its finest with our impressive J-Class room, complete with a Caesar sized bed, two roll top baths and a private sea view balcony.

After a day exploring Salcombe, or an evening on the terrace, sink into your cosy slumber and reminisce on the day gone by or make plans for tomorrow. All our rooms bring the outside in with quality facilities for your comfort.

Our inland rooms, named after types of sailing boats, face the valley to the back of the hotel, and our partial sea view rooms offer a glimpse of the South Sands beach. Inland and partial sea rooms vary in size, and details can be found on individual room listings.

We are all about waggy tails and sandy paws. With the beach on our doorstep and dog-friendly walks all around, we're the perfect location to bring your four-legged friend. We will welcome your canine companion with a doggy basket that includes their own blanket, bowl and a bag of luxury treats. We’re not just dog-friendly, we’re dog-loving. 

As a huge part of your family, your dog can join you throughout the hotel and accompany you for every meal in our designated doggy-friendly sea view area of the restaurant. With dog blankets provided in all public areas, your canine companion will enjoy South Sands just as much as you.

South Sands offers perfect South Devon stay for everyone and our accessible rooms provide the space and comfort for all. 

Room 1 on the Ground Floor, offers an inland view and is accessed via a ramp from outside the hotel, making it fully wheelchair accessible. Room 2 has a partial sea view. A small section of The South West Coast Path passes in front of room 2, making it the perfect spot for joining the scenic route.

Room 2 on the Ground Floor, is also accessed via a ramp with 2 steps leading into the room. It has been designed to be Ambulant Disabled accessible.  

Both rooms are fully air conditions and as allergy free as possible.

Bring the family together and re-live the nostalgia of beach holidays while creating new memories. Switch off, unwind, and fill your days with as much or as little as you please. With the beach less than a minute’s walk and our scenic position along the South West Coast Path, you can spend your days on the sand, take the dog on an adventure or, in the Summer, hop aboard the ferry to Salcombe.   

With separate bedrooms, living areas and fully equipped kitchens, our beach suites have the space for breaks all year round. Varying in size and facilities, more details can be found on individual beach suite listings.
