The Woolacombe Bay Hotel  

Perched on Woolacombe's seafront, about a three-minute walk from Woolacombe Beach. The hotel sits on the North Devon Heritage Coast, with Exmoor National Park roughly 12 miles away and Barnstaple about 10 miles from the property.

Much of the hotel was lovingly restored from the mid-1800s, so expect high ceilings, chandeliers and quiet, comfortable lounges mixed with modern touches. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms; some offer pool or sea views. It’s a relaxed coastal hideaway where you can do as much or as little as you like.

Spa facilities include a massage room, sauna and steam bath, plus indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub. There’s a fitness centre, mini-golf, cinema, billiards and table tennis, along with a garden terrace. Free on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk round out the practical perks.

Meeting facilities are available and free Wi‑Fi is provided throughout the property.

Two on-site options keep things simple and local: Doyle’s serves breakfast, while the Bay Brasserie offers lunch and dinner focused on seasonal, locally sourced produce. There’s also a bar for relaxed drinks after a day on the sand.
