Loved everything. The room, the view and the food.

Beautiful place to celebrate our Rubby Anniversary, we were in Babbacome for our honeymoon

10.0

We have always wanted to stay here, the views are incredible

Absolutely nothing we didn't like, can't believe anyone could

Lovely hotel in a great setting with charming staff

10.0

Lovely setting with a great selection of rooms. From very smart beach huts to cottage style properties. We have had both with the last trip booked for my parents. They had a lovely time and want to visit again as do we. Can highly recommend this property a real gem!

The only frustration are the wait times for dinner which took a long time at each occasion and several errors in orders. Just some training needed here as the hotel have great staff but seem very much run off their feet at times. Then the hotel has always been full when we have visited so very busy.

You cannot get closer to the sea than this hidden little hotel.

10.0

We have always seen hotels in hideaway cove like this and thought one day we will stay in an hotel like that. Well it didn’t disappoint us, it’s not for the faint hearted to drive to down a windy steep hill but it’s worth the drive. It’s a hidden gem right on the rugged beautiful sea front. It was such a peaceful stay for us.

We liked everything, the staff were very friendly and had a valet service to park the car. The food was delicious and our room perfect.

Luogo incantevole ma con qualche cosa da rivedere in cucina.

8.0

Struttura ubicata in posizione incantevole, isolata e tranquilla e con una vista incredibile sulla spiaggia limitrofa di Babbacombe praticamente deserta. Bell'hotel con camere molto confortevoli.

Un po' disorganizzata la cucina, sia il pomeriggio quando abbiamo chiesto un "cream tea", ottimo ma arrivato oltre trenta minuti dopo la richiesta (con la scusa che lo schef era stato richimato per preparare due scones...) sia per la cena, dove i tempi sono stati lunghissimi probabilmente perchè sotto dimensionati a livello di cucina e personale di sala. Per il resto tutto perfetto
