Soar Mill Cove Hotel
Just a stone’s throw from the chic seaside town of Salcombe in Devon, dog friendly Soar Mill Cove Hotel & Spa offers warm and welcoming hospitality in a picturesque coastal setting. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest, Soar Mill Cove Hotel & Spa overlooks the most dramatic seascape and provides the perfect destination for a romantic coastal break or a family holiday with your canine companion.
Brimming with charm, and history, this was once the haunt of Audrey Hepburn and her Salcombe ‘in’ crowd and was originally the officer’s mess for RAF Bolt Head and Spitfire Attack squadron of WWII. Today the hotel provides beautiful bedrooms with crisp cotton sheets, snuggle-in pillows and ocean views with every comfort and luxury you could wish for!
Soar Mill Cove also offers guests a varied calendar of social events, from New Years Eve parties – with a full casino and opportunities for a sing-song, to romantic Valentine’s packages. If it’s a pampering day, or perhaps a spa weekend you’re looking for, the Discovery Spa is waiting. Unwind in the spring-fed heated saltwater pool or restore your spirits with a blissful massage and sauna. If you are looking to plan a special event, the team at Soar Mill Cove are well versed in special occasions of all kinds, from parties to weddings, you can insure that Fido is sure to be included!
Voted by The Telegraph as one of the top 10 dog-friendly hotels in Devon, Soar Mill Cove even has a warm dog wash for muddy paws after a day at the pet-friendly beach with your four-legged friend. Resident Labradors Farley and Daisy welcome all guests with a walkies map and dog-friendly beach recommendations! Furry friends are also greeted with artisan dog biscuits from Buddy’s Bakery. Well behaved dogs are welcome in coffee shop, bar, hotel reception and hotel gardens, limited dog friendly tables available in main restaurant. Dogs are not permitted in the lounge area & leisure club.
Wine & Dine
The main restaurant enjoys superb sea views through its floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for admiring the fabulous seascape over a romantic dinner or family gathering. Head Chef Ian McDonald creates mouthwatering seasonal menus sourcing the very best local produce. Awarded two AA Rosettes, you’ll find a modern British selection of seafood and meats, with mains including lobster thermidor and dry aged fillet steaks. Make like Audrey Hepburn and order the fabulous pavlova for desert! Furry friends can rest their paws in the room while you dine in the gourmet restaurant, or if you’d prefer they are more than welcome to join you in the bar, coffee shop or dog-friendly section within the main restaurant.
Soar Mill Cove is where fine dining meets family friendly. From high teas to the highest cuisine, our head chef Ian MacDonald, prides himself on sourcing the best seasonal, local produce around to tempt every taste. Little wonder that our restaurant has won two rosette awards.
