On England’s South Devon coast in Thurlestone, within easy walking distance of Yarmer Beach, Leasfoot Beach and Thurleston Sands. Minutes from Kingsbridge and Salcombe, this family-friendly, pet-friendly four-star hotel is perfect for coastal-path walks and beach days.

A long-running, family-run four-star retreat with panoramic sea views and classic coastal charm. Sixty-four rooms feature flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, safes and deep soaking bathtubs — simple comforts with ocean-view vibes.

Luxury spa facilities include a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, sauna and treatment rooms, plus an indoor pool and a seasonal heated outdoor pool. Get active on tennis courts, a par-three course and a nearby 18-hole course (complimentary for residents), or try the mini-golf, fitness center, ping-pong and games room. Little ones have a dedicated playroom and seasonal kids’ club; pets are welcome, and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Three meeting rooms and a conference hall make events easy, supported by a 24-hour front desk, laundry services and free self-parking. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected throughout the property.

Dining ranges from a two-AA-rosette restaurant with bay views to a cosy 16th-century village inn-style pub, a bistro for lunches and an al fresco terrace. Enjoy poolside drinks, two bars/lounges, 24-hour room service and a complimentary full breakfast (weekdays 7:30–10:00, weekends 7:30–10:30) — plus classic Devon cream tea for a local treat.
