English Riviera 3 Stars Hotels

"This hotel is appalling. It looks like rundown bldg inside. We checked in on Saturday evening and the reception is full of teenagers who looks shady. The room was below standard. There was no toilet papers, reception is closed because its weekend. Good thing we brought our own toilet papers. The bed are old and sunken. The carpets in the room and in the hallways looked filthy not to mention the smell of it . This hotel needs a full refurbishment. Am sorry, but my 2 nights stay in this hotel is not enjoyable as its giving me anxiety because of the people surrounding the area as well as the safety and security of this establishment is not guaranteed."

"The room was lovely but the mattress was a bit lumpy"

"Just got back from a couple of days spent at South sands . The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Our bedroom was spacious, clean and comfortable. Had a meal in the restaurant and also in the bar area. Food was delicious. Also breakfast was very tasty each morning, with a very good selection each day. Location was great for what we wanted. There was an option of a ferry from the hotel into Salcombe and return whilst we were staying. There is a 40 minute walk into Salcombe, which is hilly in places, but the ferry is an option if you prefer. Would definitely like to return one day soon."

"Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, relaxing time"

"We needed a quick 'pick you up break' this ticked (and exceeded all the boxes) We loved our stay and we were made very welcome. We will definitely return as soon as we can!!"

"Very helpful staff excellent food and amazing views will certainly be staying again."

"The hotel was dated and looked tired from the outside and inside. The images online were very misleading and didn't look like the room that was promised. The room itself was very small but the bedsheets and towels were clean. The bathroom was in desperate need of being regrouted and cracked tiles needed to the replaced. The net curtains were dirty with cigarette holes in the them and there was a layer of dust on the valance. Even though the 'quite' times were meant to start at 10pm, we could still the music from the bar area long after this and we were on the 3rd floor. I've stayed in cheaper hotels that were a better standard than this...."

"Only one night out of season. No complaints. It’s a good size hotel with a pool. Close to town and quiet."
