What Our Guests Say

Don’t just take our word for it…

I don’t know why this isn’t a 5* hotel, it easily could be. The room was beautiful, breakfast excellent, check-in was efficient, everyone was helpful. I only had time for one spa treatment which was amazing. The location is incredible, right on the beach and also right next to a national trust footpath. Parking easy and plentiful, beautiful grounds.

Absolutely lovely hotel, right from driving through the gates, a warm friendly welcome. Staff in every area were really good. Very comfortable room, glorious views. Beautiful food in the Brassiere and breakfasts. We felt considering the quality of the food, that it was very good value. Such a lovely beach and grounds to relax in. In addition the pool area was nice as well, although it’s the beach and waves for me! Everything beautiful and clean. Will definitely come again. Can’t recommend enough.

I cannot praise this hotel enough! Perfect location. Staff were so attentive in every department. Everywhere was so clean. Easy parking and guys on gate really friendly – doing a great job. We had planned to spend our time on the beach but we loved the pools and garden so much that we rarely left the hotel. We are already planning our next visit.

I have just spent a week at the fabulous Woolacombe Bay Hotel with my family, 15 of us ranging in ages from 7 to 79. My Mum wanted to celebrate her birthday with her children and grandchildren being on holiday together. She chose this hotel as the venue having spent lots of happy holidays in nearby Lee Bay when my brothers and I were children. It has been such a happy week, the sun shone and everyone was entertained. The facilities are second to none.
