Stay at Watergate Bay this autumn

Take in the sea views from the 25-metre pool. Relax after a beach walk in one of our dog-friendly rooms. Stride out onto the coast path, sink back with a cocktail, and as the sun begins to set, gather around the table at one of our three restaurants.

A wide open beach, Atlantic ocean waves, and a salty breeze to blow away the cobwebs.

Stay and stride from your bedroom to the sand. 

Our rooms

Watch the surfers from a roll-top bath. Tuck children into bunk beds after hours of adventures. Take on the day, then turn in for the night.

Beach lofts overlooking the waves, contemporary double rooms, village apartments for larger groups and family suites with separate rooms for the children.
