Hi, visited Babbacombe for our friends wedding and the Guesthouse was in the perfect place for us. Close to Babbacombe front etc. The Guesthouse itself was lovely, perfect hosts, and breakfast was freshly cooked to your liking. All in all a smashing experience . Thanks . Paul and Lyndsey

Absolutely worthwhile and amazing
Scott and Linn were simply amazing to have as hosts. They welcomed us to a lovely warm home and even arranged for a birthday surprise that my partner requested them to. They served us delicious breakfast and little treats around the home to enjoy. Scott even suggested us good places to go to nearby in the town. We would certainly stay with them the next time we visit Babbacombe.

Trip to home town with disabled mum
Stayed for 3 nights at this lovely guest house in Babbacombe. I booked the twin bedded room on the ground floor as mum is disabled and finds stairs difficult. It was spacious and tastefully decorated. Mum loved the luxury hot chocolate and biscuits provided! Towels were super soft and toiletries were available for us to use. Room was spotless too! Our hosts, Scott and Lynn, could not do enough for us during our stay and it was the little touches ( sweets at reception - naughty mum 😋 and an honestly bar if we had wanted to help ourselves to drinks!) The breakfast was amazing every day and kept us full until the evening. The hotel is in a very good location, minutes walk from Babbacombe Downs and all the facilities on offer including a small theatre. There was lots of “things to do and places to visit” literature available if we needed it. We will definitely book this hotel again for our next visit. My fussy 87 year old mum could not pick fault! Hopefully next year!

Lynn & Scott are excellent hosts, friendly, welcoming and willing to please. The room was cool, nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent, a lovely dish of fresh berries and other fruits plus good quality muesli and other cereals and yogurts. They use good quality fresh produce for the cooked breakfasts, all cooked to order. Another thoughtful touch was they offered more toast, fresh coffee etc. nothing too much trouble to them.

Lovely hotel - Great location
Hello - We had a lovely long weekend in Babbacombe. The hotel is in a great location 2mins walk from the Cliff Railway. No on-site parking but plenty of street parking. The breakfast was fantastic. The hosts are two lovely people who are very accommodating! We will 100% be back next time we are back in Torquay

We have just come back from 2 nights staying here with my dog, his 1st time staying in a hotel and we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome than we was kirsti an paul are so lovely. The room was a great size, very clean and it had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy after a day out i slept so well. The Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it that i could start the day off right. The hotel is a great area as well its close to the main attractions of babbacombe like the mountain train, model village and bygones all a must to see, a little bus ride to the harbour and back and all allow dogs. Parking was no problem we was able to park a little further up the street for free and could pull up to load an unload just outside. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone especially all my family and friend's if they plan a trip to Torquay.

Amazing break
We had an amazing break at this wonderful little B And B hosted by the lovely Paul and Kirsti . From the moment we arrived we felt completely satisfied and happy with our choice. Paul welcomed us and showed us to our lovely room which was spotlessly clean and ample room for 2. At breakfast they both made a real fuss of us both and our cockerpoo Lexi , even made her scrambled egg for breakfast. If your staying at Babbacombe in our opinion this is the place to book you won't be disappointed . We will certainly be back when we are at this area again . Thanks Paul and Kirsti 😊

Excellent place to stay
Babbacombe palms is a lovely little guest house. The room we had was big enough for me and my son and there were so many little personal touches to make our stay pleasurable. Decor throughout was modern and immaculate and the room, breakfast room and communal areas spotlessly clean. Hosts were great - gave us information regarding best places to go nearby and how to get to other places, asked about our day and remembered the drinks etc we had for breakfast! Very friendly couple. The whole place has a calm and very friendly atmosphere. We loved our stay, thank you.

Excellent B&B
We received an extremely friendly welcome when we arrived at the Babbacombe Palms by Paul. He explained the covid restriction rules that effected our stay and showed us to our room. The room was very clean and comfortable. All items like the remote control has been put in individual bags to show they had been sanitised. At breakfast Kirsti is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast were delivered hot and were delicious. Both Paul & Kirsti were always willing to answer any questions we had and make recommendations about places to visit and where to eat. Babbacombe Palms is an excellent B&B with great hosts, we will be returning for another stay next year.
