    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
