South Sands Hotel

Salcombe beach hotel where dogs go almost everywhere, including dinner

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star hotel right on the sand at South Sands, just south of Salcombe town, with beach suites and a restaurant facing the water. It suits families and couples who want to walk straight from the room onto the beach. Dogs on a lead can go almost anywhere, including the bar, the terrace and a sea-view dog area of the restaurant at every meal.

Up to two dogs in inland and partial sea-view rooms, three in sea-view rooms. South Sands beach is open to dogs from October to May, and North Sands next door takes dogs all year.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
