South Sands Hotel

About South Sands Hotel

South Sands Hotel sits just above Sand Bay in the village of Kewstoke, a quieter stretch of coast a few minutes north of Weston-super-Mare. Formerly the Commodore, it has been repositioned as an easy-going seaside escape, combining comfortable rooms with a genuinely food-led offer built around two distinct venues under one roof. At the more casual end is Rock Salt, a licensed café-bar that leans into the location with breakfast, brunch and crowd-pleasing classics served from early morning through the day. It’s dog-friendly, relaxed and very much geared to walkers, beachgoers and locals dropping in for coffee, a Full English or something more substantial after a coastal ramble. Expect familiar favourites – from burgers to fish and chips – delivered with an emphasis on comfort and accessibility rather than formality. In contrast, The Bay provides the hotel’s more considered dining experience. A light-filled, contemporary space, it focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and a menu that steps up in ambition, particularly in the evenings and for Sunday lunch. It’s here that the kitchen shows its range, with thoughtfully composed dishes, a proper drinks offering and a setting suited to anything from relaxed dinners to small celebrations. Together, the two restaurants give South Sands a flexibility that many coastal hotels lack – from casual daytime refuelling to more refined evening dining – all wrapped in a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere.
