The Experience
Wind down the steep twisting road to your own parking and a spacious open-plan dining and sitting room, with a wood-burner serving both. Colourful prints add a splash of colour, there are books and games for rainy days and a lovely warm conservatory for a quiet read with panoramic sea views. Walks on the South West Coast Path start from outside the door in either direction – walk all the way to Brixham if you’ve enough puff, but you may want to get the bus back.
The kitchen is sociable and whoever washes up can glimpse the bay but if you don’t feel like it then wander down the road to the Cary Arms for breakfast (£16.50 for the full works) or a cream tea, or a spot of zen in the spa. The brave can just walk down the gentle pebble beach to the sea. You have two decked areas for lounging in summer, a hot tub and a games room with TV.
Robes, slippers, sticks of rock on your pillow, jars of chocolates and a decanter of sloe gin await.

Location
The neighbourhood
It's a gentle, pebbled bay and a short walk will take you to a red sandy beach. Book sessions in the spa, kayak and paddle board (the Inn have kit you can borrow) hire a wooden yacht for boat trips or a Land Rover tour. Dartmoor is 30 mins by car for hikes and wild swimming, Agatha Christie's house (NT) is 45 minutes - don't forget to book parking. Cockington Court is close for gardens and crafts.
Local points of interest from Dany Richford
- Queen Victoria visited the Babbacombe Bay twice. Once in 1846 when she did not land and again in 1852. This time the queen was taken close to the shore in a rowing boat so that she could admire and sketch the scenery.
- During the day, Babbacombe's sun-trapped beaches are the main attraction. Water sparkles like sapphire and you can lose yourself in the surroundings of the unique Coral Coast. Babbacombe Cliff railway is available to take you up and down from the beaches.
- The world’s most famous crime writer, Agatha Christie, was born in Torquay in 1890. 1938 she bought Greenway, a beautiful house overlooking River Dart at Galmpton near Brixham, a short drive away. Every year we take part in a festival celebrating her life.
- Outdoor sports are a must! Coastal walks, horse riding, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, kayaking, tennis, golf, swimming etc. We are surrounded by a selection of great activities hosted throughout several little bays around Torbay.
- Look out for 'Sammy' our resident seal. Often seen by the pier point or lazing in the sun on the Babbacombe rocks. Friendly and fun he plays with all the divers, swimmers and fisherman.

Gather the family or a group of friends and head on down to Babbacombe Bay. This is a fresh, comfortable and roomy cottage and it has the added bonus of the pub with excellent food on your doorstep. You're as near to the sea as you can get without actually getting wet and actually on the Coast Path.
