The Downs, Babbacombe
Seafront, 41-43 Babbacombe Downs Road, Babbacombe, Torquay, Torquay, TQ1 3LN, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
The breakfast was wonderful. Great berries, yoghurt & cereal choices and the smoked salmon & scrambled eggs were amazing. There is no parking but we were able to pull up to load/unload, easier because it was out of season I imagine. Room 12 on 2nd floor has a Superking bed, very comfortable. Excellent walk-in shower in that room too. The sea view is to die for of course!
