Top Saunton Hotel Reviews

The Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only stayed 1 night for the marathon Nice hotel, friendly staff, good location"

The Bath Hotel Lynmouth

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in the heart of the river mouth. Staff extremely friendly and very helpful."

Woodford Bridge Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Nice venue just wish they would keep the pool open later so business guests can use it"

The Barnstaple Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and well Looked after hotel. Good gym facilities."

Saunton Sands Hotel Source Spa and Wellness

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely quiet hotel, great food at the Beachside Grill 2 minutes walk away but you need to book in advance"

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"An initial, disappointing start to our stay was quickly remedied, quietly, politely and professionally. From then on everything was so much better. The Hotel is probably a little understaffed (a reflection of the economic strains of current hospitality?) so often a Team member had to be searched out but once found were polite, attentive and friendly. Our room, a late booking so limited choice, was compact but nevertheless comfortable with an excellent rain shower in the bathroom and a good view of the river. We found a delightful lounge on the first floor from which we could watch the world go by as the river ebbed and flowed whilst enjoying the occasional glass of beer, or two!! Dinner on each night was a lovely occasion in a stylish dining room, well cooked food, nicely presented and served by delightful staff."

Westbeach Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"Some issues with dates for booking but did get things sorted eventually. Would be nice to have a way to communicate that is not a phone number as from out of country do not want to be calling. (WhatsApp or text)"

Watersmeet Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful walks along the shore. The hotel is clean, sophisticated and comfortable. The staff were almost all very friendly, kind and helpful. The food was very nice - excellent breakfasts especially. The only downsides are that the pool is freezing. Also information on the room specification was misleading ‘shower/bathtub combination’ logically made me think we would have a bathtub with a shower over the top. As a part of an expensive seaview room, I really wanted a bath and the information given made me believe this is what we would have instead of the shower which I found in our room. Otherwise I would not have booked that room. I was told on arrival by the hotel manager that I should have made a special request for this before arriving (which made it seem like this was my fault). She told me that there was nothing she could do about it because they were fully booked and that next time, I needed to request this to avoid being disappointed. No other attempts to make up for this or to at least accept that the information given had been misleading were made. The rest of the kind and welcoming staff and our stay there made up for this rude and unkind interaction and we had a nice time but this did taint the trip for us and better customer service could have avoided us feeling disappointed and told off."
