Lynn & Scott are excellent hosts, friendly, welcoming and willing to please. The room was cool, nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent, a lovely dish of fresh berries and other fruits plus good quality muesli and other cereals and yogurts. They use good quality fresh produce for the cooked breakfasts, all cooked to order. Another thoughtful touch was they offered more toast, fresh coffee etc. nothing too much trouble to them.

Trip to home town with disabled mum

Stayed for 3 nights at this lovely guest house in Babbacombe. I booked the twin bedded room on the ground floor as mum is disabled and finds stairs difficult. It was spacious and tastefully decorated. Mum loved the luxury hot chocolate and biscuits provided! Towels were super soft and toiletries were available for us to use. Room was spotless too! Our hosts, Scott and Lynn, could not do enough for us during our stay and it was the little touches ( sweets at reception - naughty mum 😋 and an honestly bar if we had wanted to help ourselves to drinks!) The breakfast was amazing every day and kept us full until the evening. The hotel is in a very good location, minutes walk from Babbacombe Downs and all the facilities on offer including a small theatre. There was lots of “things to do and places to visit” literature available if we needed it. We will definitely book this hotel again for our next visit. My fussy 87 year old mum could not pick fault! Hopefully next year!

What a Gem!

A lovely clean and friendly place to stay. Very comfortable beds, nice decor, ample amenities for us. Lin, who runs this business is incredibly warm and attentive. She offered additional fresh chilled milk or water from the fridge conveniently located in the pretty dining room and asked if we wanted breakfast or some lunch. This hotel is so well placed for short walk to St Marychurch attractions or Babbacombe Theatre and restaurants. Also close to sea and famous Oddicombe Beach with cliff railway. We will be back!!

A class establishment at a very reasonable price. Very friendly and attentive hosts a breakfast to die for. In my mind the hardest thing to create in a guest house is atmosphere it just felt like home from home here relaxing in the bar area I felt like I was in my front room. Thank you Lyn and Scott
