“The personal touch.”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

Sometimes you don't want to stay in a big, impersonal hotel, and fancy going somewhere a bit warmer and friendlier. This is what Pauline and Tony at the Babbacombe Guesthouse do so well. You are made to feel welcomed, and not just a paying guest when you arrive. Something other establishments could certainly learn from. The bedroom I was a... More

“Lovely stay and great welcome”

Reviewed 10 November 2012

Lovely welcome by hosts with helpful advice. Room and bathroom were very clean, tidy and cosy. Good off-road parking and breakfast was very tasty and quickly made. Close to the seafront and easy to find I would recommend staying here. We had a lovely time - thank you Babbacombe guest house.

“Great quality guesthouse.”

Reviewed 7 October 2012

Just returned from a lovely weekend away staying at the Babbacombe Guest House. The hotel is spotlessly clean with a well maintained feel about the place. Location in respect of Babbacombe Downs is perfect, literally a stones throw from the front, however there is residual noise from the main road in the rooms which though not too noisy you were...

Thank you for your review, as you mentioned there is restricted height in the rooms on the top floor as we advertise. Based on feedback this is why these rooms are also priced lower than our other rooms, so there is an option to choose the room that is booked. Some people prefer these rooms and some don't. Nevertheless, I... More

I'd like to say a massive thankyou to Pauline and Tony for their warm welcome and excellent hospitality to myself and family, although the stay was short (only 2 nights) we wished it was longer as we were made so welcome.
