Follow the Salt Path
With the highly anticipated release of the Salt Path film, interest in the South West Coast Path has soared, and we're highly proud to say that Saunton Sands Hotel is perfectly situated along this iconic trail, right where the real-life journey and the film pass through.
The Salt Path is the true story of Raynor Winn and her husband Moth, who set out to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path after losing their home and livelihood. Theirs is a tale of resilience, healing and recconnection with nature, and it's now been beautifully brought to life on screen.

A Real Stop
on Their Journey
As Raynor and Moth make their way along the North Devon coast, Saunton Sands features as a significant part of their journey. With our sweeping sandy beach, rolling dunes of Braunton Burrows and dramatic coastline, it's no wonder this stretch is one of the most memorable segments of the Salt Path route.
Guests at Saunton Sands can walk in their footsteps. Step out of the hotel and you'll find yourself moments away from the South West Coast Path, with immediate access to one of the most picturesque and peaceful sections of the trail.
