Watersmeet Hotel - Woolacombe

4-star hotel with private beach access and award-winning dining overlooking Woolacombe Bay

Location & Setting

Watersmeet Hotel Woolacombe sits on the cliff above Combesgate Beach, with its own private steps down to the sand. The hotel overlooks North Devon's rugged coastline and Woolacombe Bay from every public room. Watersmeet Woolacombe is on the quiet edge of Mortehoe, within walking distance of the South West Coast Path and Woolacombe's surf beach.

Rooms & Suites

Nearly all bedrooms at the Watersmeet Hotel have a sea view, and some rooms include a balcony or terrace. Room configurations cater to couples and families, with deluxe suites like the Lundy Suite offering additional lounge space. Each room provides complimentary bottled water, tea and coffee making facilities, and a fridge with bar items.

Dining

The hotel's Rocks Restaurant holds 2 AA Rosettes for its cuisine and offers panoramic sea views of the setting sun. A new Bistro Restaurant provides a more relaxed dining experience with a combined menu from both outlets. The restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients and changes its menu daily to reflect seasonal dishes.

Wellness & Leisure

The Watersmeet Hotel Woolacombe has two swimming pools: one indoor heated pool and one outdoor heated pool with views over the bay. Guests can use the steam room, hot tub, and sun loungers on the terrace or lawn. A yoga class is held on the lawn on Saturday mornings, and spa facilities include massage and spa treatments.

Family & Activities

Watersmeet Hotel offers family rooms and a children's meals menu in the restaurant. The hotel's private steps lead directly to Combesgate Beach, giving families immediate access to sand and rock pools. Board games and puzzles are available, and the South West Coast Path starts right outside the hotel for walking and surfing at Woolacombe Beach.
