Warm welcome and comfortable surroundings
We received a warm welcome on arrival and were escorted to our room. The room was a good size with a separate lounge area with chairs at the window overlooking Babbacombe Bay. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant has a good menu with all dietary options. Food was beautifully presented and promptly served. The wine selection was good with a wide range of prices and choices. The maitre dit was attentive and helpful. Staff were all pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has some beautiful paintings and objects with lots of comfortable seating throughout. Highly recommend this for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
A lovely friendly hotel in a beautiful location.
My only complaint is that we only booked 2 nights! The whole experience was delightful, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the decor throughout the hotel was very pleasing and the bedroom was very clean and comfortable, the menu was excellent and the food was well presented and delicious!
All in all a very relaxing too shorter break! We will definitely be booking again.
Lovely hotel in a peaceful setting
We were very lucky to stay in the garden room which included a hot tub. Very large room with four poster bed and lots of character. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff very attentive.
A lovely two night break.
