    The spectacular sea view from my balcony was breathtaking every morning, and dining under the stars with live music created a magical atmosphere that truly enhanced our holiday experience.

    The room offered stunning sea views and was kept impeccably clean, which enhanced my stay. the WiFi was inconsistent and there were times when it was noisy from the surrounding area. it's a lovely spot perfect for a short getaway.

    loud bar noise

    Amazing views and comfy beds!

    Really loved my stay! The room was spacious with stunning views and the bed felt like a cloud. Breakfast was decent too, with some good options to choose from. Only thing was the noise from the bar downstairs. it got a bit loud at night. Otherwise, an awesome place to unwind.

    Stunning sea views and friendly staff

    We had an amazing time during our 3-night stay, with a breathtaking sea view from our balcony room that made mornings truly special. The breakfast offered a good selection of freshly cooked items, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. One minor drawback was the noise from the entertainment below our room, which made relaxing in the evenings a bit challenging.

    spacious balcony
    freshly baked croissants

    will come back

    The room was spacious with a large balcony overlooking the stunning Babbacombe Bay. It had great amenities like a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The shower was strong, and the linens were crisp and clean. Breakfast was a buffet with freshly baked croissants, tea, and various cereals. Entertainment every night was fun.

    Had an awesome time with friends! We explored Jawbones and Flagon Steps, which were fascinating. The food was fantastic, especially the carvery, and the staff were super attentive. The room was comfy and had a sea view, which was perfect for mornings. The nearby area is lovely for short walks, making it a perfect spot for a getaway.

    small room
    lack of bathroom hooks

    the staff were amazing and super friendly, really made us feel welcome. the view from our room was stunning, woke up every morning to a beautiful scene. the room was super clean and comfy, with all the facilities we needed. loved the food options too, breakfast and dinner were both really good. can't wait to come back again!

    the room was a bit small for our family, and the bathroom could use more hooks for towels.
