Plenty of parking, register at reception as a day guest and parking is complimentary. Warm staff welcome with explanation of dining arrangements. Beautiful interior dining lounge, is very hot,as the building faces south and becomes a sun trap even on cool days. We ate on the terrace and enjoyed the beautiful views of Bideford Bay. Service is excellent with chatty polite staff. The gents toilets are immaculately clean, impressive even. Very pleasant dining visit highly recommended .

Fantastic evening My son bought me a twilight spa voucher. I booked the evening I wanted. I also had a friend come with me. We were met by friendly staff. Robes and complimentary flip flops supplied. We used the outside pool, then indoor pool. The spa facilities are fantastic and spotlessly clean. Nearly forgot a cool glass of Prosecco. Relaxation room with wonderful views. Great value for 3 and half hours of relaxation 🙂

The only reason it has a star is for the view from our room. The hotel looks like an upper class establishment but it’s ran by what I can describe as headless chickens… how this hotel runs day to day is beyond me. Staff have no clue or customer service and the management ( Kevin to be specific) how he hasn’t scared all the guests off by his rudeness the guy wouldn’t know customer service if it hit him in the face. The spa… was the most un-relaxing experience I have had. Sauna had an odd smell and the steam room didn’t work, and to top it off before we went to the Spa all my husbands clothes got stuck in a locker ( reported this and was promised it would be fixed by the time we got out ) after leaving the spa we asked if this had been fixed .. it had not… We spoke to the orignal staff member who said “ oh I didn’t think anything was in it” tried to get it open again and couldn’t so this had to be reported to maintenance who didn’t answer..

Awful stay at Saunton Sands, I’ve stayed in over 40 hotels in the past 6 months and this was by far one of the worst. The place was chaotic, the staff were all over the place & I don’t understand how so many people think this place is amazing. The room was dated, minus the bathroom, the breakfast was mediocre and the spa… wouldn’t go as far as calling it a spa, the sauna was barely hot, the lockers break on you and the hot tub smelt like damp. The manager Kevin who I dealt with was awful, no manners and incredibly rude, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. A complaint had been submitted to the hotel. EDIT: Reached out to the hotel to submit a complaint and had a response from the general manager Anthony Kingdon … the response was very dismissive, avoiding taking accountability for my complaint and concerns, and quite frankly was the most difficult person to deal with, his attitude was awful, he refused to respond to my queries and in the end refused to pass my complaint on to anyone when there is blatant negligence happening, this really shows you what kind of people are running this place. Honestly, avoid like the plague, save your money cause you can get so much better in a short drive away. 2nd EDIT: I then reached out to the director Peter Brend who runs the Saunton Sands Hotel and was told that because I have chosen to vent my frustrations on multiple different review platforms like Google, TripAdvisor etc. that I have taken away any chance of my complaint being resolved to which I replied, I have the right to share my experience to others due to the awful time I’ve had dealing with Saunton Sands and that I still believe my complaint has not had a decent response to which I have never had a reply back from… you can understand how this place is ran if each of these managers isn’t capable of resolving a complaint.
