We LOVE dogs here at South Sands, and with the beach on our doorstep, we are the perfect location to bring your four-legged family members to stay and enjoy a holiday with you.

We have pet friendly rooms available in our Optimist, Enterprise, Yawl and Dragon Room categories as well as in 4 of our 5 Beach Suites.  There is an additional charge of £19.50 per dog per night for their stay.  We allow a maximum of 2 dogs in our smaller rooms and 3 in our larger (call for detail).

Dogs can join their owners anywhere in the hotel, including the bar and restaurant. Your dog can join you for breakfast, cream tea and dinner, wherever you choose to sit.

Each canine companion will receive their own welcome basket on arrival, which includes a blanket, a bowl, and a box of luxury treats.  Extra treats can be purchased from the bar, to keep the dogs happy whilst their owners relax and enjoy the view with a drink.

South Sands is a dog friendly beach from October until May.  Hours are restricted to before 10am and after 7pm during the busier months.  North Sands, a short walk away, is dog friendly all year round and there are plenty of stunning coastal and trail walks from the hotel which provide incredible views of Salcombe and the surrounding area (or perhaps you are into canicross and like to run these trails with your dog!).  Other dog friendly beaches in the area include the East Portlemouth beaches on the other side of the estuary, Soar Mill Cove, South Milton Sands and Slapton Sands.

The hotel has its own Instagram account featuring our camera confident canine guests.  Check it out at  @southsandsdoggies.  We also have our very own hotel dogs – Baxter, Daisy, Bob, Leigha and Terry (the latest) are all very much part of the team, and often join us for our monthly ‘team dip’.
