Family Holidays

A Luxuriousfamily hotel

Situated on the stunning North Devon coast, our luxury family hotel has direct access to the golden sandy beach below where families can feel real freedom in a superbly safe natural environment. Run through the dunes, learn to surf, build endless sandcastles or simply paddle in the sea.

Let us look after the children while you take the opportunity to relax with cocktails by the pool and a good book, indulge in Source Spa & Wellness by treating yourself to a luxury spa treatment or by enjoying a scrumptious afternoon tea.
