Wonderful relaxing and modern hotel with exceptional view of the sea. A wide array of options, excellent food. Outstandingly accommodating, really friendly people working here. Great and fab position in the fairly nice area, near to the restaurant where dogs should be welcome, an overgrown embankment and Saunton Sands beach, Braunton, Lynton and Lynmouth. Easy walk to Grosvenor Casino Bournemouth.

Came with my family, everything was excellent. The staff were constantly best. The pool area was nice and the location was amazing, right by Sandy Cove in need of a break, the restaurant in the evening and a disintegrating fence to an adjoining property. Also, a victorian castle was 2 km away from the hotel.
