We've just returned forma long weekend at Sandy Cove and are feeloing rested and very relaxed. We travelled with our 11 month old and were made to feel very welcome and looked after. The setting is stunning and yes there are building works going on until March but they did not impinge on our enjoyment. The hotel has it's own... More

We had a short break here and found the staff very helpful. Our room was very clean and spacious. The lounge with its views of the sea was a lovely place to relax. Breakfast was particulary good. We hadn't booked full board but ended up eating all our meals here as they were great value. We have vowed to return... More

We have just returned from yet another great weekend break at the Sandy Cove Hotel. The views are stunning and always worth booking a sea view room. Everyone very welcoming. Staff worked tirelessly to make our stay very comfortable. Food as always top class. The Saturday Grill beat us though, just couldn't manage dessert!! We are looking forward to returning... More

We've stayed here 3 or 4 times now and always had a very good reception. The rooms are excellent really clean and modern. We always have a sea view room which is well worth it as the views are fabulous and on a clear you can see right across to Wales. The food is excellent, the young male chef is... More

A wonderful few days break over the festive period. Spacious bedroom overlooking sea - cleaned to perfection! The food was stunning - top quality menu, creative and excellently presented - only angst - apart from there being too much food!!!!! was that we did not see much in the way of salad / veg. Beautiful setting and attractive gardens. Spacious... More

I took the wife away for a short break last year and stayed at the Sandy Cove Hotel. We were after somewhere to just relax and get away from things. This was just the place! The indoor/outdoor pool was fantastic!! Staff were great, rooms are a good size and cleanliness is excellent. Only about 10 mins away from Ilfracombe itself,... More

Good welcome, room lovely, restaurant food good, difficult to park in disabled area, seemed to be occupied by able- bodied drivers. Lovely views over the cove from both rooms we had. Would return as staff lovely. More

Food: The lady chef produced delicious meals which we could find no fault with (and... More

I’m glad I went to Devon – this hotel was truly the highlight! Up in North Devon, my parents and I went to see Great & Little Hangman and the rolling hills of Exmoor, and Sandy cove hotel was the perfect place to stay! The rooms were nothing short of great, with TV’s and coffee making facilities. The ice cream... More

Me and my family recently visited Sandy Cove, and to be completely honest, it was an amazing time, not only was it a great place for me and the wife, the kids seemed to enjoy it too (They are 16 and 17). The view from our room was simply amazing, as the hotel is on top of a cliff, so... More
