We stayed here for 2 nights on the hotel's Autumn break package and paid extra for a superior room with sea view and balcony. The room was spacious, well equipped, with a very modern ensuite and as we had hoped, had wonderful views. Bed/ linen extremely comfortable, although the pillows were not! Staff were pleasant and attentive and service was... more

This hotel is like stepping back in time - but with the added benefit of modern luxuries where you want them eg flat screen tv in room, health club, gym etc. We loved dressing for dinner and the old fashioned ball room, dining room and lounges whilst the bedrooms were modern and stylish. The staff were fantastic and the food... more

Together with my brother and his spouse we spent a weekend at the Woolacombe Bay Hotel celebrating his 65th birthday. (We have enjoyed staying there several times over the past years.) The hotel itself is situated in a true 'haven ' and is an attractive, almost unique, building. Our sea-facing accommodation was most comfortable (the room was spacious with modern... more

We have stayed at the WBH in September for many years. The hotel isn't necessarily flawless - few are! But the staff work hard to maintain and develop the facilities and we see changes and improvements each year. In the last couple of years I have thought that our room was getting rather dated but this year it has been... more

Hadn't been to Woolacombe since I was 9, so 35 years later it seemed smaller than I remembered. The hotel is a nice Victorian building with a very large lawn to the front leading down to the huge beach. We arrived very early and our room wasn't ready, but we expected that. By lunchtime, we were shown to our fab... more

We have just stayed at this lovely hotel. It provided as relaxed and friendly base. Our room was quite spacious with a modern look. It had a huge LCD TV on the wall opposite the bed which was perfect. The view (not a sea view) was better than expected as it looked right up the valley and over the fields,... more

I am writing this because some of the reviews below are unnecessarily critical and it is time to put the record straight! I say this as someone who has considerable experience of staying in five star hotels across Asia, Europe and America. The Woolacombe is a brilliant destination for families. The beach is amazing, particularly the surf, and the hotel... more

My partner and I were very excited about spending a romantic weekend together at this beautiful looking Hotel in Wollacombe. When we booked we were offered the usual options and chose to pay extra for a sea view and a 3 course evening meal. When making the booking the receptionist politely reminded us that diners were expected to wear the... more
