Sandy Cove Hotel

Sandy Cove Hotel stands on the North Devon coast at Berrynarbor, near Ilfracombe, with sea views. The coast path and Exmoor are both within easy reach.

Its main feature is a heated indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Atlantic. The thermal area adds a sauna, a steam room and a cold-water bucket shower, and yoga classes are held. Rooms are furnished in a calm, contemporary style.

A woodland path leads down to a small cove kept as a private beach for guests. There is also a restaurant, a bar, a garden, a terrace and parking, and packed lunches can be arranged. It suits romantic and wellness breaks.
