Sleeping at the Watersmeet

Our guests often tell us they sleep differently at Watersmeet. At Watersmeet, we think the sea has something to do with it.

There’s the beautifully comfortable pocket-sprung bed, wonderfully deep duvet, crisp white linen and superior memory foam pillows — everything you need for a night of proper comfort.

Then, in the morning, there’s the view.

Almost every bedroom looks out across Combesgate Beach, Lundy Island and Baggy Point, while selected rooms open onto modern glass balconies, giving you an uninterrupted view across Woolacombe Bay and a front-row seat to some spectacular sunsets.

Come for the coast. Stay for the sleep. Wake up somewhere extraordinary.

THE ROCKS

Come for the sunset. Stay for dinner

Perched high above the rocks and coastline, The Rocks has one of those settings that does much of the talking. Look out across Combesgate Beach, Woolacombe Bay and the North Devon coast, with the west-facing position making sunset part of the experience.

The food is just as connected to where we are. Our chefs celebrate the best local produce, fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients from North Devon and the surrounding area, creating generous, beautifully cooked dishes that are made for sharing, lingering over and enjoying with a good bottle of wine.

With 2 AA Rosettes, a relaxed atmosphere and a view you won’t want to leave, The Rocks is local food, coastal living and a very good reason to stay for dinner.
