Super value - will use again.
A wee bit old fashioned, but perfect for its customer base. Really friendly, down to earth staff, comfortable nights sleep and crackin breakfast. Super value - will use again.

We stayed at the Babbacombe hotel for 3 nights. The room was comfortable and the sea view was breathtaking. We stayed on a bed and breakfast only basis and the breakfast was good. A choice of fruit, cereal and hot food
