Lincombe Hall Hotel & Spa - Just for Adults

10/10 Excellent

"Great, great price and facilities"

TLH Derwent Hotel - TLH Leisure, Entertainment and Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at this hotel for a weekend break. The facilities were good, and the property was only a short walk from the beach and local amenities. My son loved the breakfast, and our room was clean and tidy."

The Babbacombe Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very pleasant and helpful; the hotel is well situated and close to lots of places, so a good base if you are visiting the Torbay area. Breakfast was good and it’s well organised so no problem getting a table. The room was good - we had a balcony which was 3 times bigger than our room 😁. Remember to book a parking space in advance if you are taking your car"

Anchorage Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Parking is good you can park.outsude the property free of charge. Staff friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy but compact. The shower was very small and the door was difficult to. close and open once inside It. The bed was too soft and kept moving away from the wall. The room was very hot even with the window open which made it difficult to sleep. However, the breakfast was very good. It was a buffet with my favourite tinned tomatoes an option. Also there was a proper toater"

Babbacombe Palms

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely guest house in a quiet area, but just a few minutes walk from the sea front We received a lovely warm welcome from Lynn & Scott Our room with an en suite bathroom with a shower was lovely fresh & clean The bed and pillows were super comfortable We were there to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday and a card & celebration banner were left in the room. Such a nice touch and so thoughtful Breakfast the following morning was delicious and very substantial Fruit juice, tea & coffee, cereals, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, toast & a very tasty full English cooked breakfast. We will certainly stay here again when visiting lovely Babbacombe and would highly recommend Babbacombe Palms Guest House"

The Buccaneer Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location overlooking the hilltop sea views. Last minute overnight booking, with only the rear looking room available (would like to try the sea view rooms next time). Room was immaculately clean with a fan, iron (and board), hairdryer, microwave, toaster, fridge and kettle (also tea, coffee and milk, that you can have refilled if you need more). Staff were absolutely fantastic from the time we checked in to when we left. Bar and food area downstairs (also plenty of outdoor seating). I would say the only minus to this rear room was views to back car park and generators. Was advised before hand that the generator slight noise (like an extractor fan sound), goes off after food is stopped in evening. This didn’t have any impact on our stay as we wasn’t in the room during the day and wasn’t back till after 9pm. Car park ( Princes St) run by local authority is £11 for over 6 hours to 17hrs (free from 12 midnight til 7am). Staying longer than 2 or 3 days and plan to park around the councils Torbay car parks; you can buy a 4 and 7 day permit from between £31 and £55 ( I guess change every year - https://www.torbay.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/car-park-permits/ ) If staying a couple of days, try and find a free parking space on the seafront/side roads about 100 yards up the road. As for Babbacombe, great stay away from the busier resorts around. Lovely hilltop bay front with lots of benches. Seen lots of people with camper chairs and blankets on the grass front."

Halekulani Devon

10/10 Excellent

"Our first mini break away alone, in 13 years and it didn't dissapoint. Anne is the most lovely host, so organised, courteous and kind, nothing was too much trouble. We were a little hot in the small double room, however Anne quickly provided a fan that assisted well. Breakfast was very tasty and scheduled for a time to suit us. Anne was very accommodating to my intolerances and catered with alternative milk and yoghurt. When booking I was unsure if booking the pool would be inconvenient, if plans changed and did think why did they not have the pool open at all times. However, when we were there it all made sense. You book your time slot for your 2 hour private session, with your selection of music, Anne was kind enough to bring us water & icecream during too. It would not have been the same tranquil experience if we would have been in the pool with others. The pool and poolside was extremely clean. The pool was warm at 30degrees. The whole atmosphere of the house and garden was tranquil and relaxing, it truly gave spa vibes. It was just what we were looking for. We did think you could do some costal walks directly from the house but that was my mistake for not looking into this more. However, everywhere was so close by car. We visited Babbicombe, Totnes, Torquay, Teignmouth, Mary Church and Dawlish. Please follow the directions to the house that are sent to you as we got to the bottom of the road (the wrong end) and it was very dangerous to drive up."
