History of the hotel
History began for this gorgeous Art Deco hotel when it was opened in 1933 by Sir John Christie, who also built the Glyndebourne opera house. The arrival of the railways had boosted tourism in Devon and the hotel was served by the Ilfracombe line, which ran through Braunton.
Since then, Saunton Sands has operated as a hotel, apart from a brief interlude during the Second World War, when it was requisitioned to house the Duke of York's Royal Military School.
