"Perfect location close to town centre. Property comfy & cosy, quirky & lots of character. Very comfy beds, lovely bathroom, second floor a lovely place for young people to have their own space. Interior mostly very clean - a few things missed. A few things also need updating or repairing. Stairs to first floor really are very steep & there was also a low ceiling so anyone who is tall needs to be careful!"

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful beach front hotel with a gorgeous pool and spa, the extra little touches made it even more special, things like welly's available for sandy beach walks, shuttle bus into Salcombe and the free glass of Gin in your room on arrival with ice already there. Would definitely recommend as a romantic break away or fun with family (there are set times in the pool for children, so works for all) "

There's a convenient ferry service that runs directly from Salcombe town centre to South Sands, making it very easy to access without needing a car.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Salcombe?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Salcombe is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest, with average temperatures typically ranging from 18°C to 22°C, which is fantastic for enjoying the beaches and coastal activities.

During this peak period, Salcombe buzzes with activity, and the waters of the estuary are dotted with boats, making it an ideal time for sailing, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the sandy shores. Families often find this time great for building sandcastles and enjoying the sea, while couples can take leisurely strolls along the South West Coast Path in the pleasant sunshine. All the local attractions and watersports centres are fully operational, offering a wide range of experiences.

For a slightly different, yet equally charming, experience, May offers a wonderful alternative. The weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures often around 15°C to 18°C, which is still very comfortable for coastal walks and exploring the town. During May, you may find better value on hotel rates and it can be easier to secure reservations at Salcombe's highly sought-after restaurants and boutique accommodations.

For those who enjoy being on the water, paddleboarding or kayaking is a great way to experience the estuary. You can hire equipment locally and explore the calm coves and creeks, often spotting local wildlife. North Sands and South Sands are popular starting points, offering easy access to the water and often having facilities like cafes nearby.

Families with children will find the sandy beaches superb for building sandcastles and rock pooling when the tide is out.
