Soar Mill Cove Hotel

We had a truly delightful if unintentionally brief stay at Soar Mill Cove Hotel. We were very sorry to have to leave early because of a family medical emergency and have already booked a return visit. We love family run hotels and this is a prime example of genuine warmth and thoughtfulness of all the staff. Being in the single story building with views of the dramatic scenery enabled us to feel part of the landscape; venturing out, the ruggedness was teeming with wildlife and spring flowers. Coming back for delicious food and wine and a room with every comfort completed the pleasure.

We wanted to park at the hotel so we could walk down to the cove, but the receptionist said we would not be able to as net flix were filming down there. I was very disappointed as we had traveled 200 miles to reminisce a holiday at the cove. So we asked for coffee’s which were brought to us in the lounge as soon as I sat down it was very relaxing the view is nice as well. My husband decided to go for a walk to take some photo’s but was asked not to take photo’s as filming was in progress although he could not be stopped ! Could not see the cove anyway !! So he came back and we had lunch very nice the two girls on the reception were so helpful. If we came back again we would stay in the hotel.

A wonderful and luxurious hotel. We did not stay here, but visited for a cream tea and paid to use the pool. The hotel itself is in a stunning location. Secluded with wonderful sea views. You can hike down to Soar Mill Cove (and the hotel provide you with a map if you ask at reception), which is well worth doing. There is an outdoor kid's playground and table tennis facilities on the grounds. The hotel appears modern. The pool was heated and the changing facilities were top notch. The lounge area (where they serve afternoon tea) was wonderful, with stunning views. The cream tea is definitely worth it and was of high quality. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. We had a positive impression of the hotel and will be back.

The staff were very helpful without being intrusive. Very accommodating of my disabled husband and two dogs. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely. Facilities great. I would recommend this for a wonderful getaway, and good walks from the door.

The best family hotel we have ever stayed in. We’ve been coming here for about 12 years on and off and that in itself tells you how much we love it here. Lovely family orientated place to relax walk swim . Food is excellent and staff are really friendly and helpful.

It's a very nice hotel. Amazing biews and walks. Staff is incredible. Always happy to assist. All our queries have sorted immediatly. My son has forgotten his special pillow and they were so kind to post it to us. That means a lot! Thank you Guys!

My dear friend, my dog and I have just spent the most wonderful relaxing weekend, in your amazing Hotel/Spa. It was all so very perfect for some respite time, for a very hard working friend. It was my treat for her but I got as much out of it as she did. We both felt so welcomed and well and truly spoilt. As did the dog!! Your location is so special and peaceful with fabulous views in all directions. Your staff, from top to bottom are all helpful, warm, friendly and a joy to be amongst. Nothing is too much trouble and everything done with a caring smile. Sessions with Hannah, having a treatment each, completely rounded the weekend off. She’s got a wonderful touch. The rooms and facilities are beautiful and such a treat to have the dog allowed in most areas. He enjoyed himself so much and loved the “breakfast” sausage ! All of the cuisine was simply superb we enjoyed breakfast and dinner. Beautifully cooked, prepared and presented food all the way around. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, to make our much anticipated, time with you so perfect. I would highly recommend you to my friends and more. I have already promised, another friend, a trip to visit you for a cream tea in the summer. It was simply divine! 😘 A very satisfied guest and her dog.🐕‍🦺 Very, very warm regards. Sue and Tinchy X

We had a wonderful stay and part of making this was the fabulous hard working staff members. The bar and restaurant staff were particularly notable for us and you can see the dedication they give Soar Mill Cove. My Espresso Martini was one of the best I've had! We loved that the Dog wash outside is warm water, and the doggie treat on arrival was a lovely touch. The children really enjoyed the pool.  Everything was very clean and well maintained and the fridge in the room is really useful. The bath was wider than average for a luxurious soak and the Molton Brown products were a nice touch. Stunning views and lots of walks to satisfy our four legged friends and the children. Not far from Salcombe which was well worth a visit.

We have stayed at Soar Mill Cove Hotel many, many times. We wanted to write another review as an update. Yet again we had a wonderful stay. 2 fabulous walks despite the inclement weather this Easter. We thought the new bar area was very attractive, modern and relaxing. All the staff on duty were attentive and helpful and lovely. Our complimentary Jennie’s gin was much appreciated. Our room was comfortable, super clean, warm and perfect. We are really looking forward to many more return stays.
