About this property

Perched on the dramatic North Devon coastline, our hotel is a haven of calm, offering breathtaking sea views and a peaceful retreat from the everyday. The centerpiece of our wellness facilities is the heated indoor swimming pool, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Atlantic waves and natural light dances across the water.

Enter a world of calm and contrast in our thermal suite. Glide through the warm, enveloping waters of the pool, drift into the deep heat of the sauna, or inhale the soothing aromas of the steam room. For a bold, invigorating lift, stand beneath the icy cascade of the cold-water ice bucket, a revitalizing plunge that awakens the senses and sharpens clarity.

Just beyond the hotel, discover our private beach, reached via a scenic woodland path. This secluded cove is reserved exclusively for guests, offering quiet moments for walking, swimming, or simply watching the waves roll in.

Our rooms are designed for comfort and calm, with contemporary interiors, plush bedding, and thoughtful touches that echo the natural beauty outside. With Ilfracombe, Exmoor National Park, and the South West Coast Path close at hand, the hotel provides the perfect base for coastal adventures or a restorative escape in serene surroundings.

Whether for a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, or a seaside escape, our hotel combines luxury, nature, and rejuvenation to create an unforgettable stay.

+ We loved our stay at Sandy Cove, the view was amazing and the hotel was lovely, we had an evening meal in the restaurant which was 5* and then breakfast in the morning was spot on! Will definitely be coming back.
