South Sands Hotel

We have met various staff over the last 5 weeks and everyone has been friendly & helpful especially in the restaurant. We booked in for 2 nights over bank holiday .Room was pleasant no view and the one complaint to reception was about the pillows on the bed. Breakfast was very good and plentiful and the hotel is situated on the main beach road of Sand bay but no traffic noise. We will use the restaurant frequently over the summer as we now have our caravan on a nearby site but would book the hotel again if needed.Afternoon is especially good with coffee & fresh victoria sponge cake.

Although booked into the hotel, we were in this small bungalow across the carpark with 3 rooms in it. It felt very tired looking. The shower didn’t work, no water pressure, the sink didn’t drain and the bed had to be remade as the quilt wasn’t it in properly. There was etching on the back of the bathroom door that said they wouldn’t stay there again as it was a s**thole. Fridge was on the floor with tea and coffee items on top and the boiler cupboard wouldn’t stay shut. Cars playing music in the car park at midnight and the boiler fired up randomly in the night which was loud. Overall, it did the job as it was somewhere to stay and seemed clean. But wouldn’t stay again, and definitely wouldn’t recommend the rooms in the “bungalow” (we were not aware where we would be staying, didn’t say on the booking).

no smell of dogs in the room, bonus

Lovely sea view room , 2 single beds put together , not very comfortable, room was clean and had free toiletries , shower was small and had to take shower head off rail to get water pressure through, staff were friendly and rock salt bar served a good continental breakfast in the price and good English breakfast served for extra cost, dogs were allowed in the hotel and the sandy breach is only yards from across the road. We decided to stop for Sunday lunch big mistake , roast potatoes were rock hard but under cooked , vegetables were extras over £5 and so was cauliflower cheese, too much going on as we’re covered in pepper and ruined the over all taste, roast beef was lovely but cold and carrot purie on plate does nothing but looks a mess , manageress was told about the problem but wasn’t very helpful and quite rude and for 2 Sunday lunches and 1 pint of carling and glass of coke , £61 was poor quality , go up the road to chip shop instead great quality fish and chips

Beautiful boutique hotel in gorgeous location. Friendly staff, lovely decor, good Continental breakfast included.
