The staff were excellent, very obliging and helpful. The corner room 207 did not have a decent balcony only room for two small chairs. The other rooms were a decent size and the balcony was room enough for two chairs and a table.The area had single track roads and with a fair amount of traffic it took some time to get from A to B. The scenery was lovely from the hotel and the sandy beach was just over the road.

An excellent hotel in a great location. An hourly shuttle connects it to the sister hotel in the centre of Salcombe. Breakfast is good, if having to pay an extra £10 for a cooked one is slightly irritating. Gym and Spa are also good.

What is a very beautiful hotel was marred by our experience before we’d even checked in. Having been seated for lunch it took 26minutes (yes I counted) to be even acknowledged let alone offered a menu or a drink etc. the restaurant wasn’t that busy and there were several staff just walked past us. Then when I told reception they basically ignored us. Then we got to our again beautiful room to be greeted by a huge stain on the carpet, before a random
Member of staff opened our door unannounced when we were getting changed.

Pool/spa facilities were very nice and the bed was very comfy. I’d stay again but 100% would avoid the restaurant, the winking prawn is a 10min walk away which serves incredible food and equally good service.

This is a hotel in a perfect location. It is so beautiful to look into the bay and so wonderful to be able to go on the most incredible coastal walks from the doorstep. Great to take the boat to Salcombe and explore from there.
The room was lovely, but we were on the ground floor and looked out onto the bay, but also the decked area; so it wasn't very private.

We stayed at Harbour Hotel in Padstow and ate in the restaurant two nights during our stay. Then the same for Harbour Hotel in Salcombe. if you’re looking for a food experience then Padstow wins hands down. I would rate the food in Salcombe as good but Padstow is another level or two up; perhaps it’s the Rick Stein effect………

Breakfast was a lovely continental selection, lots of fresh fruit. Restaurant had a stunning view of the beach, would've like some lighter options for lunch and dinner. Mini bus was a great little added extra for getting to and from the edge of town. Very helpful staff eager to help.

An impressive modern hotel in an amazing position on South Sands, only a narrow road stands between it and an excellent beach. The views across to the far shore are truly spectacular. Access is down a very narrow road with passing places. ( typical of this part of Devon). Friendly and welcoming staff. Large and well equipped bedrooms. Beautiful coastal walks from the door.

Fantastic stay overall, the location is perfect and the bed was honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The staff were brilliant too; despite what some previous reviews have said, the restaurant team may be young, but they’re extremely welcoming, hardworking, and far from inexperienced.

Just a small note for future guests: if you prefer a more filling breakfast, be prepared to pay an extra £10 for the full option, as the continental selection is quite limited. That said, everything offered was very fresh and nicely presented.

Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommended.

unsafe Wi-Fi; no password protection. I advise guests not to use it unless they have a VPN.

Hot breakfast can be expensive depend on what you have; it's a flat £10 charge. Utensils and tables could be cleaner.

Did not feel we received the room package we booked.

Carpet fairly stained in the entrance to the bedroom and the bathroom was permeated with a sporadic drain odour which we highlighted to the front desk but there was no response during our stay.

Fantastic location right on the beach. Really nice people. Nice touch having the complimentary gin in the room. Included continental breakfast adequate but not brilliant. Room service unpredictable with certain items not being replaced (e.g. no brown sugar, limited milk cartons and no flannels on one day). Also, room not serviced until late afternoon on one day. That being said, we enjoyed our stay and would consider another Harbour hotel.

Nice room, comfy bed, helpful staff. Sadly there was an unpleasant smell of boiled fish in the staircase and along the corridors. One lift remained broken the entire week, no signs of repair.

Nice but sadly not excellent as expected

Ok, location exceptional, staff friendliness was the best we have experienced, really great, rooms were nice with the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in. Then it comes to food, sadly no where near what you would expect for this priced property, could not get an English breakfast right despite returning 3 times meaning finning apart on a couples break, quality was poor and hit that you actually have to pay more on top of your room rate, the evening meals were poor although only dined once but was not prepared to try a second time, all in all a nice break but need some serious overhaul in the kitchen, one last thing try to avoid rooms 1-8 as the corridor has a drainage issue, not pleasant to wake up to at over £400 a night

We had a lovely stay.

We stayed in a beach view accessible room as my wife was in crutches we hoped this would make the stay more comfortable. The room was lovely but we did notice a few things that would have made it difficult for a wheelchair user (peddle bin in the bathroom, shower gels etc. on the far bathroom wall to the shower).

The gin is a lovely welcome gift, but note you’ll need to buy tonic from the bar or mini bar.

Visit 13/6 to 16/6

Lovely place to stay with an awesome view of the cove and great people who work there. Not sure it’s right that paid breakfast means you have to then pay extra for hot food, get poor coffee for London prices and average food compared to the rest of Salcombe, but visually and the amenities of the place are good.

A very nice hotel… staff very friendly and good food and drinks… room with the view was excellent!!! only fault we found was that as we went for a relaxing afternoon in the spa the atmosphere was very tranquil to start with, our experience was cut short with the pool soon filling up lots of children shouting and laughing… this was the only downside hence the 4/5 stars

Have just enjoyed a 3 night stay with a friend. Beautiful hotel in unique location in quiet South Sands beachy cove. Lots of ways to get to Salcombe town centre either walking (a bit hilly), hotel shuttle car or water ferry. Rooms have stunning decor and bathrooms are very well appointed. Service throughout the hotel is excellent and very friendly. Enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant. Good value & again great service throughout but with particular mention of lovely service from Rebecca. Views are gorgeous from the restaurant, hotel rooms with sea view, outside raised terrace and nice sun loungers at road level. Very nice spa pool area with jacuzzi, sauna & steam room. We used the treatment room at the town centre Harbour Hotel for massage & facials because we booked the stay last minute so no availability at the Beach Club. Recommend booking restaurant times & spa treatments ahead. The last few miles of roads into South Sands are narrow and need a bit of negotiating! Would happily return another time.

Beautiful hotel

Amazing location and beautiful views. Friendly staff. Concierge service was lacking and reception hard to get hold of at times. Annoyingly, children are only allowed in the pool a few hours a day around meal times, this was frustrating as it lists having a children's pool. Also, everything is extra, you have to pay for hot breakfast and the continental is mostly sweet. Other than that, we loved our stay.

Excellent one night stay

Booked a single night. All the staff at the beach Club were very willing and friendly. The condition of our room was excellent. The bed exceptionally comfortable. Excellent shower. We used the spa facilities, which were not very busy except for the family swim period between 4 and 6pm (but it was during school, holidays). We would recommend the included continental breakfast. There was lots of choice and quality of the food was excellent.

We loved the location, very quiet when we were there. Beautiful setting. Excellent service from reception. Our sea view room was stunning. The whole hotel was immaculate. The spa area was so lovely. Our only feedback is about plant based options at the continental breakfast.

Dissatisfied, not for me.

Terrible impression upon arrival, we arrived a little early and were made to feel as it was a great imposition. The rooms were really small and shabby, the main problem was the cleanliness, dirty carpets dirty windows dust everywhere, mould in the shower, I could go on. Meals in the restaurant were mediocre, pub standard and overpriced £12 for a pot of tea for 2 plus obligatory 12.5% service
charge on everything. Paid extra for breakfast to be included only to find £10 pp extra if you wanted a cooked breakfast. I am aware there is a profit to be made, however, it felt as though they were trying to extract as much money as possible.Overall impression, this hotel was poorly managed not enough cleaning staff etc. Plus point great location.

A super hotel with all we needed and more

A friendly greeting and offer of help with our luggage was a great start. This is a modern hotel with superb views over the Salcombe Estuary. The room was very comfortable with all as you would expect. Mini bar, tea making, coffee pod machine etc Complimentary Salcombe gin and tonic on arrival plus ice delivered each night was great. The staff were excellent and helpful. A great Spa and pool. High standards set by friendly staff

Beautiful setting but some disappointments

The hotel is in a stunning location, with beautifully designed interiors and high-quality finishes (lacking maintenance in some areas). We were excited for our stay, but unfortunately, a few issues meant it didn’t quite meet expectations.

What we loved:

The complimentary gin in the room was a thoughtful touch.

The fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard. But poorly maintained.

The breakfast staff were friendly and welcoming.

What let us down:

Despite confirming in advance that no feather bedding would be in the room due to my partner’s allergy, feather cushions were left on the bed. It took two requests to have them removed.

The spa had designated times for children, which disrupted the experience. We weren’t informed of this at check-in, so clearer communication would have been helpful.

The transfer service was a major letdown. We arrived at 3pm, and we were told most evening transfers were fully booked. I really don’t understand why more transfers was too much trouble - we would have gladly paid. With taxi quotes at £40 one way to Salcombe, we had to walk along a single-track road—bring a torch if you plan to do the same!

Breakfast pricing was confusing—£10 for any hot item, whether a simple eggs on toast or a full English. Given that toast was free, it felt like paying £10 just for two eggs.

While the hotel has great potential, it didnt quite meet our expectations, and we’re unlikely to return.

Best Hotel in Salcombe!

Such a great hotel and perfect setting. Breakfast was great, bar was great, & dinner was great. We loved our room with the sea view & balcony. Bathroom was very well put together. Can’t wait to return, was exactly what we needed to get away for a kid free weekend. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely newish hotel in a beautiful bay. If you are looking to spend a few days doing nothing and chill this is the perfect place. The photos that you see on their website don't lie. The food was excellent too!

Just a couple of minor issues.

I know hotels try to create a mood but the piped music all day long can be a little irritating at times. The management obviously do their homework, so as a guest who am I to argue.

The only other issue was the staff. Don't get me wrong, all of the staff were polite and courteous at all times and were never rude but they were very disconnected with the guests. We always had to ask for everything, no one was pro-active. Perhaps they were being overworked? They were very young and at times having someone more experienced overlooking things would have helped. The guys that drove the mini bus were the exceptions they were very communicative and personable. Also my wife had a facial in the spa, the lady was absolutely charming.


Would I return to the hotel. Yes!

The hotel is fairly new and therefore really modern and clean. There is a spa on site which is ideal after a days walking. The free shuttle bus into the heart of Salcombe is a great idea as the walk does involve a few steep hills although this is how we travelled into Salcombe most days. The hotel is right on the beach and is in a very quiet location. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. If like us you come here in the winter and you want to walk in and out of Salcombe then remember to take a torch with you as it is pitch black and a mobile may not be sufficient.

Best nights sleep for a long time

I have to say that it was the best nights sleep my wife and I have had for a very long time. Jack I think was worth a special mention he catered for us exceptionally well at reception and in the restaurant. The receptionist at the spa was also very friendly and helpful.

We loved the location of the property and the style but we were really dissapointed that we paid almost £150 more to have a 'sea view' room rather than a valley view. We were in room 1 and yes you could see the sea but through the reception glass and there were seats in front of the balcony. This was really dissapointing and sadly meant we did not feel comfortable sitting out and we couldnt really see the sea if we did - just the flow of people in and out of the reception area. Other than this we liked the property. We would not take the risk of booking a 'sea view' room in future sadly

Not a do again.

The hotel is beautiful but I’m not sure I would stay again. The music played in the lounge/bar was horrible not in keeping with the hotel clientele, obviously for the benefit of the staff.
The food selection is limited and the quality poor, my evening meal and hot breakfast were dry with little taste.
The distance into Salcombe requires transportation and the hotel shuttle only has four seats so you are very lucky if you can get the time you want.
I’m not sure why there’s an aversion to Cabernet Sauvignon but the wine by the glass is not for a wine drinker.
I asked that the discretionary service charge be removed from my final bill. Gratuity is earned and not in my opinion a subsidy to the hotel coffers.
Although the hotel is only a few years old it’s not getting the TLC it needs, as an example the curtains in our room are already in need of attention.

The hotel was very nice - shame about the car parking, no idea why we had to leave out car keys behind the reception desk, it wasn't although they had completed valet parking, we were also told that we could leave out car in the car park till 1pm when we checked out but after only 1 hour they changed there mind and stated it needed to be moved straight away, frustrated and disappointed.!

The attitude of the front desk staff, who where happy to do their jobs but didn't come across as friendly or helpful but more officious in their actions and verbal communications.

Improvements need to be made to the hotel to make it more smooth running.
