    Brilliant staff, particularly good views over the bay, everything is brand-new. The rooms are incredible and individual, with convenient decoration. Plus, the location is cosy, minutes from Babbacombe. The restaurant is great with a great choice of wine and cocktails. Would be happy to recommend the place, I didn't feel like leaving.

    gorgeous sea views
    cozy room
    soothing spa
    limited spa towels

    We had a fantastic time staying in the Beach Hut with fine sea views, and the cozy electric fireplace made our evenings perfect. The spa was soothing with a variety of treatments and the beach access was a lovely bonus. A minor hiccup was that there weren't many towels in the spa, but we didn't let that ruin our experience-definitely try the seafood if you visit! 🌊

    The self-catering cottage was immaculate and comfortable for our family. The views were fine, and we particularly loved the glass-fronted spa with its hydrotherapy pool. The staff were helpful, especially with the shuttle service.

    relaxing atmosphere
    disappointing shower
    difficult parking

    The view from my room was amazing. I enjoyed the food at dinner, and the service was good. I appreciated the friendly interaction with the staff . I was actually surprised by the diverse options on the menu. The atmosphere was quite relaxing.

    I found the shower situation disappointing as my room only had a bath, hard to shower without making a mess. The car park was difficult to access, and climbing the hill to get back was a challenge. It would be helpful to have clearer information about parking in advance.

    lack of kids' activities

    The views from our suite were fine, and it reminded me of a piece of Torquay's history. Our family enjoyed the spacious room, and the friendly staff went out of their way to accommodate our non-service dog .

    My kids wished there were more activities for them to enjoy on-site. A kids' club or play area would make it even more family-friendly.

    lovely balcony
    fantastic spa area
    slow breakfast service

    The view from our room was breathtaking, and I loved enjoying my morning coffee on the lovely balcony. The spa area was a fantastic spot to unwind, especially the sauna and the hot tub. A minor hiccup was that breakfast service was a little slow, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all! 😊

    Enjoyed the stylish Beach Hut with amazing ocean views. The underfloor heating kept us cozy during stormy weather. The staff were great, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere. Be aware that the road leading down can be steep-consider taking your time! A lovely experience.

    Fine Views but Mixed Experiences

    I loved the amazing sea views from my King Room, especially from the balcony. The accessibility to the hotel was challenging, with a narrow, steep road. Dinner featured locally-sourced ingredients but lacked excitement. Tip, Chasing staff for drinks could improve dining experience.

    inconsistent breakfast
    lacking freshness
    high price point

    The fine views from the sea-view room created a captivating backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The attentive staff made a significant difference, ensuring all needs were met with genuine warmth. The choice of breakfast fruit felt inconsistent with the upscale setting, leaning towards tinned rather than fresh options. The bathroom amenities, while plentiful, lacked the freshness that would have elevated the luxury experience.
