Hotel Review
Saunton Sands Hotel, Braunton, Devon
With sweeping views over three miles of North Devonshire beaches, The Saunton Sands Hotel is an Art Deco-inspired classic. It offers traditional British grandeur, excellent service and the seaview rooms are the best - but the real highlights are the unspoilt dunes of Braunton Burrows and the superb surf epitomises the best of the British seaside break.
