The room itself was tired, naff old pine furniture, broken chair sat on a piece of wood to prop it up. Not like the pictures shown in the gallery. We were disturbed by dogs in the room next door that barked constantly when they were left alone (which when you’re trying to get kids to sleep is not helpful) You can see they’ve spent a lot of money on the pool, wedding venue and front of house, just the rooms let it down. But couldn’t ask for better in terms of the staff who were lovely!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anya, Tavistock 27 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice surroundings, perfect for a family stay.

The staff were very helpful and the view is unbeatable. The swimming pool area is also super with great views. I would say the only thing is the room (family room) which was large (great) but needed a fair amount of love. It was basic, which was totally fine for us but needed a new carpet and lick of paint etc. We had a great stay though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Yahya 1 Sept 2018 Was nice ##### Yahya Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Family917, Bucks 1 Sept 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nice hotel, shame about the room This hotel is in a great location with stunning sea views, unfortunately our Family Room, no. 19 had no view at all, apart from a wall and a cupboard door.

Amazing view from room 49, i booked this hotel mainly for the view and to enjoy a morning coffee with it. It was me, husband and my 2 year old. Positives = \* Amazing view/location \* Room is spacious and bathroom \* Staff are lovely (we only had breakfast and one dinner so based on that). \*Close to main beaches and attraction Con= \* Expensive (OK its August for 3\* over £200 per night was harsh) \* Room was not clean considering we got the deluxe room (dusty, balcony glass was so dirty, cups not fully clean) very disappointing. \* breakfast was the same everyday, very limited. If you like patisseries bring your own lol because they bring out a limited number and once they are finished that's the end. \* Other then the deluxe room (even the room is up for debate) and main dinner area you surly know you are in a 3\* hotel. Spiders at each corner in the hallway, feels old, has that old home smell. \* \*Housekeeping was poor, after first night my bathroom bin was not changed so when we got back from a lovely day the bathroom smelled of my daughters pooped nappy which i addressed at reception. In our 4 days stay i don't think the room was hoovered. Bedding not changed even on the 3rd night where my little one had her face painted at the zoo they changed the duvet the next day (probably couldn't hid it so they had to change it) but left pillow with all the stains (turned around). ##### Huda Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mohamedali 24 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful and pleasant stay Staff are friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed the pool and the view from the hotel is amazing. ##### Mohamedali Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony, Northfleet, Kent 23 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Fabulous location with stunning view A brilliant location on the North Devon coast, Sandy Cove has fabulous views and lovely gardens to enjoy them from. We had a family room with a sea view balcony for us, the grandparents, and our 9 yr old grandson. I chose this hotel as the website depicted proper single beds for children so was a little disappointed to find a fold up bed but he said it was comfortable and slept well. The room, even though for a family, was quite compact so the third bed was up against the wardrobe doors. Our bed wasn't very comfortable for us but that's personal preference. The little balcony was fine and so was the bathroom. Our grandson loved the swimming pool, nice and large, no restricted adult only times was a bonus, we enjoyed the sauna but the steam room had an unpleasant odour which we did feed back to the reception staff on leaving. The restaurant and bar area were very comfortable and the food was good. Alltogether a good 2 night stay. ##### Tony Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Aug 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Food is really good... view is amazing...

Grout missing from the bathroom floor, around plugs not very clean,outside in the patio area which was probably for dogs was full of leaves,cobwebs and not very clean. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey, isle of Wight 19 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely stunning views. Hotel lovely, staff really friendly and helpful. The food was really nice and if you ate in the evening, the menu was exceptional. My only issue was the pillows, but I'm really fussy and normally take my own, so not complaining. Can't wait to go back again! ##### Tracey Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 18 Aug 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Rooms require a deep clean and updating. Bathroom full of mould and toilet attached to the floor with 2 out of 4 screws so watch out when on it. However location is beautiful and hotel has a great sea view. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jo153, London 11 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect spot...great scenery, great food My totally honest view is that the hotel is a real mix - some elements are excellent: food, scenery, hotel facilities (pool, spa, gardens etc) - other parts a bit average (slightly tired rooms, ‘clunky’ service) but from my experience for the price paid I thought as a package it was very good & as such I’d stay again & recommend to others. ##### Jo153 Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah, Somerset 6 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel with amazing view This hotel was a great place to stay. It has an amazing view, comfortable, clean bedrooms and helpful staff. Even on a night with a wedding going on it was quiet and peaceful with good service. The swimming pool was great and we enjoyed the steam room and sauna. It would have been wonderful to be able to swim before breakfast but sadly it didn’t open until 9. The breakfasts had a good range on offer and were delicious. We ate our evening meal here both nights and both really enjoyed all our food. My steak was cooked more than I had asked for but was kindly and quickly replaced with a perfect one! Overall a wonderful stay. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Jul 2018 #### 28th July 2018 A fabulous location, beautiful views, fantastic terraces to relax on. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful though the restaurant service quite slow. The food was average and limited vegetarian options. The room was fine though a little tired and in need of updating. Good clean leisure facilities. Could be so much more with a little more attention to detail. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken&Kathy, Bucks., UK 24 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent hotel in every respect. Went on a four night break just before school holidays start. Taken aback when we arrived as breath-taking views of nearby cove and towards the Welsh coast from the outdoor dining area and our bedroom. We are both in our 70s and have travelled the world widely; few hotels have better views. ##### Ken&Kathy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 24 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Can’t wait to come back This hotel is amazing , perfect , fab , beautiful , views that take your breath away , food was 1st class indulgence .
