South Sands Hotel Restaurant in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Shared a suite with a friend , absolutely fantastic .Early morning swim followed by hearty breakfast , washed down with piping hot decent coffee !

Food is fairly standard but in amazing location. Service is fairly ordinary - help yourself and queue up for the team to stop talking to each other long enough to take your order. Pleasant enough but was special is no longer.

Awsome afternoon tea, great service and beautiful location. Really good value highly recommended 👍🏼

Disappointing meal complained and told bill would be adjusted Only deducted gratuity We felt this was an insult. We had to ask twice to see the manager Eventually she turned up but did not understand our complaint saying that their food had a good reputation. She was reluctant to give more than 15pc but eventually we agreed to 50pc for one meal and 15pc for the other A totally unsatisfactory experience

The food and service were excellent. The staff are friendly and professional. A special shout out to Anna and Tom in the bar, who served us. I had Toms cocktail . Best cocktail I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this place.

Come here for the views as on a nice day it is delightful to dine overlooking the beach. My wife had the crab linguine. It was edible, but was smoothed in sauce. Less sauce and more crab would have done the trick. I had the monkish in curry and rice special. The dish was well prepared and tasted good, but the curry sauce overwhelmed the flavor of of the monkfish. All you got from the fish was firm texture.

Nice clean hotel offering good food and drinks Staff friendly, helpful and joyful. Recommend the Cream tea 🍵

Fantastic experience as non residents.Went for food & drinks there three times during our week's stay in Salcombe. We found the staff so polite,knowledgeable & professional. The food was great with a relaxed feel & our server Millie was brilliant!! Hope to be back next year this time as residents.

Very nice location and good atmosphere. Can be a little pricey

3 nights at South Sands Hotel was just the best weekend break we could have imagined. Everything we look for scored at least 10 out of 10: Location; Service; Ambiance; Comfort; Food; View; and especially the very friendly staff. Already thinking about a return trip!!

An excellent hotel and truly dog friendly. If you want to treat your pooch to the best then South Sands could be it. Right on a dog friendly beach (but not 1/5 to 30/9). Lovely touches like free dog towels in the reception, dog blankets in the lounge and bar and dogs can join their owners in the restaurant.

Spent five memorable days on the water with gorgeous views and friendly helpful staff. Highest recommendation

Stunning location, lovely room overlooking the bay, excellent food for both dinner and breakfasts, staff lovely but restaurant service somewhat lacking. Definitely one to revisit in the future.

Didn't stay at the hotel but nipped in for Cream Tea one afternoon and then dinner another day. Staff were very friendly and they remembered us from a couple of days before. Food was amazing and would definitely recommend booking just in case. Will be going again on next visit

We ate in the restaurant at South sands which was delicious! Service was outstanding and Jezior went above and beyond. Fabulous.

Really good dog friendly hotel.

Impeccable service, from the welcome at the desk through dinner, the bar and at breakfast ALL members of the team are to be congratulated. In a setting where you’re right on the beach - who could want for more? Big shout to the chefs and management for great food and for me, importantly, good sized portions!! Well done and thank you!

Tried this instead of our (newer, swankier, expensive, characterless) hotel over the road. Really glad we did. Friendly ‘normal’ staff, good food, generous portions, nice atmosphere. Would recommend, and hopefully stay here in the future if we come again, having tried both ‘Harbour’ hotels… Also this was the first night they reopened after their flooding experience. Very happy to support them. They’ve done a fantastic job, hotel was absolutely tip top. Good luck to them all going forward

Had meat and veggie burgers with fries and a few beers, service excellent, value is a bit pricey but that’s the market. Atmosphere good, location can’t be beaten and we have returned a couple of times. Defo recommend.

My wife and I were staying in a hotel just across the road. The meals at our own hotel were variable in quality so we tried the South Sands restaurant for one lunch, an afternoon tea and one evening meal. All were of excellent quality and served by friendly and efficient staff. For lunch, we had crab sandwiches on granary bread, for afternoon tea we had finger sandwiches together with cakes and scones and jam. For dinner, I had a crab bisque starter followed by an amazing hot seafood platter including langoustines, prawns, scallops and mussels. My wife had mackerel pâte followed by a very good crab linguine. For us, the only downside was that dogs were positively encouraged in the dining room - although we recognise that this would be a positive factor for many. Without that downside the restaurant would deserve 5 stars.

Had really nice meals and would highly recommend but they have a strange set up if you eat out on the balcony. You have to order at the hatch rather than table service. Other than that, the food is first class

Friendly staff, good choice of lunch menus and delicious coffees. We had the crab sandwich which was huge, arrived with crisps and side salad.

The staff were very helpful especially with the needs of the children. The Kids food arrived first and then they were happy for our choices to take longer. It was informal and relaxed place to eat with family. The food was delicious and arrived hot to the table and was reasonably priced. They were super helpful with dietary needs. I would thoroughly recommend for a lovely meal out.

Wonderful service. Excellent food. Can’t wait to return but sadly already full for the duration of our visit. That’s the sign of a good restaurant! Couldn’t choose out of two starters so ordered them both. Wasn’t disappointed. Mackerel patè and scallops. Mussels for main. Lovely bottle of Cloudy Bay. Superb!
