A light, bright modern feel with plenty of nods to the nautical in this seaside cottage for big gatherings right by the Inn with a spa

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.

Local points of interest from Rob Allen:

Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Rob Allen:

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.
