On arrival we were welcomed by a very friendly couple, now known to us as Tony & Pauline. We were shown to our double room, which was immaculately clean and looked like it had recently been redecorated. It had an en-suite, which was equally, spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable, in fact, we both commented that it was one... More

Sometimes you don't want to stay in a big, impersonal hotel, and fancy going somewhere a bit warmer and friendlier. This is what Pauline and Tony at the Babbacombe Guesthouse do so well. You are made to feel welcomed, and not just a paying guest when you arrive. Something other establishments could certainly learn from. The bedroom I was a... More

The Babbacombe Guest House is without doubt one of the best, if not the best Guest House I have stayed in throughout my years of travel.. There are many many plus points, amongst them being the hospitality of Pauline and Tony, the breakfast choice, which is varied, and the full English which is so tasty and keeps you going all... More

Lovely welcome by hosts with helpful advice. Room and bathroom were very clean, tidy and cosy. Good off-road parking and breakfast was very tasty and quickly made. Close to the seafront and easy to find I would recommend staying here. We had a lovely time - thank you Babbacombe guest house.
