Babbacombe, 2.3 km from Watcombe Beach

"Charming place, we hadn’t realised how good the sea views were/are. Nicely located being a short walk from Babbington centre with the rest of the English Riviera easily accessible. Heating and hot water both fine, spotlessly clean and well equipped kitchen (even washing up without a dishwasher didn’t seem like a chore with those views!). We had an issue with the WiFi which the owner worked to resolve, sadly without success. But Sunny Bank is a great spot in a great location - recommended"

Top Watcombe Beach Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay even booked to come back for another night late october,lovely breakfast and staff was helpful."

TLH Derwent Hotel - TLH Leisure, Entertainment and Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"It was just a basic breakfast."

The Trecarn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasantly surprised by the Trecarn Hotel. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to book an extra night. Our experience certainly didn’t reflect many of the ratings and reviews we had read. The location is amazing, our room was clean and exactly as advertised, and it had a modern TV. The hotel was quite hot for some reason, but fans were provided, which helped. The staff were lovely especially the chambermaids, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here. We’ve paid twice the price elsewhere and not had as good an experience."

Hampton by Hilton Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and clean, the breakfast was amazing, the view was gorgeous and the location is perfect. I suggest if you need hypoallergenic bedding that you request at the time of reserving, it’s not standard to have it included in the room."

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"

Anchorage Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Clean room very big Good stocked bar and helpful staff"

Mount Rose Cottage, 73 Hartop Road, Torquay, Babbacombe/St Marychurch

10/10 Excellent

"Wunderschöne Unterkunft!!!Alles top, zwei Bäder, zwei Schlafzimmer, tolle Küche, Wohnzimmer und kleiner gemütlicher Garten.Wir haben uns echt wohlgefühlt. Wenn nur alle Unterkünfte so schön wären."

The Babbacombe Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice breakfast also very good only issue parking better reservations before or use street parking"

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."
