Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Mortehoe cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Mortehoe vary, but you can find a great deal from £99 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Mortehoe is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Mortehoe for beaches is the village centre itself, offering direct access to coastal paths leading to several beautiful coves.

Mortehoe village is a compact, traditional Devon village with a few local shops, pubs, and cafes. It's situated on a headland, meaning many accommodations offer views of the coastline. From the village, you can easily walk to the South West Coast Path, which connects to several beaches.

For couples looking for secluded coves and stunning coastal walks, staying in Mortehoe village is ideal. From here, you can take a pleasant walk down to Grunta Beach, a relatively private sandy cove. Another option is Rockham Beach, accessible via a scenic path, which is known for its rock pools at low tide.

Families will also find Mortehoe a good base, especially if they enjoy exploring. Barricane Beach and Combesgate Beach, both beautiful sandy spots, are a short walk away towards Woolacombe.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Mortehoe?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Mortehoe is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C, making it ideal for enjoying the stunning coastline and Mortehoe's beautiful beaches.

During this period, the village is bustling with activity, as families and couples flock to the seaside for their holidays. It's a wonderful time for traditional beach activities like swimming, building sandcastles, and exploring rock pools. Many local businesses, including charming cafés and independent shops, are fully open with extended hours, and there's a lively option that's great for a classic British seaside escape.

For a slightly different, yet equally appealing, experience, June is an excellent alternative. The weather is still very pleasant, often averaging around 17°C to 20°C, and the days are long, providing ample time for coastal walks along the South West Coast Path or exploring nearby coves.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Mortehoe with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Mortehoe beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Mortehoe?
The best beach activities in Mortehoe centre around exploring the stunning coastal landscape, with rock pooling, swimming, and coastal walks being top choices.

For families, rock pooling at Grunta Beach is a fantastic activity. This small cove, accessible via a footpath from the village, is filled with marine life, especially at low tide. Children will love discovering crabs, anemones, and small fish in the natural pools. Grunta Beach is also ideal for a swim in its sheltered waters.

Couples looking for a more active experience will enjoy walking the coastal path to Woolacombe Beach. This scenic walk offers breathtaking views of the coastline. Once you arrive at Woolacombe, you can spend the day on the expansive sandy beach, which is great for sunbathing, swimming, or even trying a surf lesson. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants in Woolacombe for a meal or refreshments.

Another excellent option for all is exploring the secluded coves around Mortehoe. Barricane Beach, particularly, is known for its shell-covered sands and is a lovely spot for a quiet picnic or a dip in the sea.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Mortehoe as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Mortehoe for you.
