Thurlestone Hotel in South Hams

Only visited for a Spa Day wlth a cream tea, but everything about the hotel, the spa and the staff were great. The spa itself is beautifully presented, well Looked after with everything you need in a spa. The terrace with the views across to Hope Cove is stunning. We look forward to returning again.

Fantastic place been here a lot and never disappointed definitely recommend this place

Great hotel, friendly and helpful staff, good food, beautiful gardens and amazing views. Very relaxing 😎

Fantastic location, food and service. A definite treat.

Overpriced and not very welcoming.

My partner and I stay at the Thurlestone for a weekend each January. The hotel is superb. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, the service is faultless, and the team always ensure that every need is catered for. The spa is also fantastic. Take an afternoon walk down to the beach before a swim before supper.

Enjoyable afternoon spent relaxing after a spa.

Absolutely beautiful hotel & spa, my favourite place to visit and unwind 5* Staff are welcoming & efficient with nothing being too much of a ask.. highly recommend

Staff are wonderful. Very helpful & eager to please. The hotel has a great atmosphere and is in such a beautiful location. Can't wait to stay again.

I've been visiting the Thurlestone for years and it continues to deliver everytime, we recently enjoyed another wonderful evening with great food, wine and kind and helpful staff. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at the Thurlestone Hotel. Lovely, comfortable room with excellent food.

Stunning hotel with exceptional service and staff. The spa is magnificent and views to die for. A real treat!

Spectacular rooms, delicious food and just a lovely place to stay and spend time. The staff could not be kinder and more accommodating.

Fantastic evening at the Thurlestone Hotel. Beautiful food and great service - would highly recommend!

If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience on the popular and scenic Devon coast, look no further. We had a balcony room with a sea view - it had modern decor, a comfortable bed and best of all, a 'rain shower'! We had a scrumptious breakfast and strolled down the nearby beach, before returning to the hotel to work up an appetite for a boozy cream tea with a game of tennis on the courts! Finish the day off with a fantastic spa experience and an indulgent dinner in the restaurant. What more could you ask for ☺️

Fantastic hotel! Welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly, food delicious and great service. Facilities are great, highly recommend the spa! Add in the location and short walk to the beach - highly recommend!

I have been visiting Thurlestone for 30 years and where so many hotels have dropped their standards the Thurlestone keeps getting better , I dont know how they manage to recruit and importantly keep their lovely members of staff in such a rural location. The staff are all cheerful, charming and highly trained they are a delight and a credit to the hotel. Some have been there all the 30 years I have been visiting. The food is wonderful, Sunday lunches, , celebratory birthday dinners and even feeding 230 people a cracking meal at a ball. The location is incredible and the views from the breakfast table world class. I would stay at The Thurlestone just for the breakfast! Please thank all your wonderful staff front of house, kitchen maintenance, cleaning and management for their fantastic efforts to make our stay so wonderful. We will be back soon!

Excellent food, accommodation was fantastic.

A fantastic hotel with incredible views! The food is delicious and the staff are so lovely and helpful. 100% recommend!

We had a fantastic weekend stay in this lovely hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and are a credit to the hotel. The views down to the coast are superb and make Thurlestone a real gem.

Great stay at Thurlestone. Rooms are very comfortable, the staff are fantastic, food was great and in a very enviable setting.

Couldn't be happier with food and stay, staff very helpful as always

Wonderful food with gorgeous views over the sea.

Amazing facilities in a beautiful location. Everyone is so polite, friendly and helpful!

A great spot to stay. Even though we are relatively ‘local’ we still chose to spend the weekend here for my partners birthday. Spa was an excellent way to spend an otherwise rainy afternoon!

I had a wonderful stay at Thurlestone Devon Hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is beautifully located with stunning views. The meal at the restaurant was lovely, and the spa offered a perfect spot to relax with excellent treatments. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!

Lovely Hotel with fabulous staff! Highly recommended

Prime location, a short walk from beautiful beaches. Excellent service - helpful and attentive staff. If Carlsberg did hotels...

Lovely Christmas atmosphere Hawkstone on tap and a warm open fire

Unfortunately the hotel is hosting The Dartmoor Hunt Ball on the 18th January 2025. Not a venue I will be recommending to friends or clients.

The rooms are beautiful with big plush super king beds and comfy seats to sit in looking out over thurlestone sands beach and the golf club. A very relaxing view. The shower and bath are fantastic. The service from all staff in the hotel and the Village Inn was excellent and they were so attentive to our every need and nothing was too much for them. Can't wait to visit again soon

A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting with a view of the sea. It has a friendly feel with nearly all the staff saying hello and smiling. Everyone was keen to answer any queries we had. The bedroom was spacious and clean with a large balcony and chairs to sit and take in the view. The spa facilities are very good, we both had a massage which was expertly done. We enjoyed the outdoor pool, it has plenty of sun loungers and a nice bar. The food in both the restaurant and the pub was excellent, we will definitely visit again.

Enjoy a room with balcony and sea view, topped up with intense deep-fry extraction fan smell - if you complain the answer is ‘it will stop at 9pm, when serving food is finished’… Also enjoy style of food from the 90’s, served by a waitress with zero warmth and complete lack of interest in the beauty of hospitality. The answer to a simple request of removing the pineapple from your child’s pizza is ‘we can’t because it’s all prepared’ but it’s ok as I had managed to convince the host to speak to the chef, if he/she could kindly accommodate this small amend. Be prepared if you order a bottle wine, you’ll be asked to say the number displayed on the menu next to the wine, rather than the grape type and the region; and don’t be shocked if you are also asked to confirm if it was red or white, so the server can take away the right shape of glass prepared on your dining table. No point to mention the disappointment in quality to the management, as you will be completely ignored, with a meaningless ‘we are sorry’. I don’t quite understand how you can get away with such a poor experience in a place where you pay £500/night, please don’t waste your money on this hotel, find a cosy place nearby with kindness and personality.

Lovely hotel with an excellent view, particularly when having dinner outside on a sunny day. Really welcoming staff, excellent food with a top location. Great facilities Dog friendly, too.

We celebrated our Gojden Wedding there and what a wonderful experience. Food service gardens views and most importantly we didn't need to use the car until we came home. A real treat.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. The view from my room was amazing. Was my first time in a 4.5 star hotel and I was blown away. The room was clean and well equipped and comfortable and the bathroom was was lovely. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast served was very good quality and very well cooked but a large selection of foods to choose from. Was there for one night on business and said to my colleague that if I ever won the lottery I would live there in the room I stayed in. A wonderful experience.

We arrived on a grey rainy day. The hotel stood as a massive rendered tired concrete building. Outside seating areas obviously empty with no pillows or umbrellas up. We sat in the lounge area overlooking a car park in front of a fire place not lit. The lounge was comfy and the children loved the chess board! It was certainly the highlight. We then moved to the bar area which had a much better view of the sea in the distance. The service was great and appreciated the time spent in preparing our drinks. We then ventured downstairs into the ballroom area where we enjoyed a little table tennis in what felt like a forgotten room tucked away that most of the guests would not even know existed. We then ventured into the garden area and noted the rendered walls surrounding the swimming pool area locked away. The golf course and tennis courts looked great though. Overall, it could really do with lift. Perhaps it was the grey day and timing. I'm wondering if it needs architectural changes, maybe creating an underground parking area so cars do not feature in the view. Also completely renovating the exterior of the swimming area to fit the stone/ slate of the Devon landscape. Maybe even some olive trees at the entrance. I don't know but it needs something!
