Babbacombe Bay Hotel

The Recency Terrace Babbacombe Bay House sits proud on top of Babbacombe Downs, a picturesque corner of Torquay, South Devon. Unbroken views to Lyme Bay, Portland Bill, Dorset coast and the Jurassic Coast will greet you on arrival and the charm of Babbacombe and its ‘village’ feel will make you feel welcome. Hopefully, you'll agree we have succeeded in our goal of creating a chic, relaxed environment where you can come to unwind and relax.

Offering both a luxury Bed and Breakfast guest house by the sea and a self-catering option in our equally luxurious holiday apartments allows you the flexibility to holiday on your terms in the heart of the English Riviera on the South Devon Coast. A home-cooked and locally sourced breakfast is served every morning in our Babbacombe Bay Cafe (exclusively for B&B guests between 0830-0900 before opening to the general public to enjoy our all-day breakfast). Our menu offers hot and cold dishes throughout the day with daily specials displayed on our chalkboard. We have gluten-free and vegetarian food and can often adapt our dishes to suit dietary needs — just ask! Our knowledgeable Baristas serve freshly ground organic and Fairtrade coffee, tea and speciality tea which are the perfect accompaniment to a slice of homemade cake or scone. Our 5 AA Star award-winning accommodation is supported by further awards we’ve received for our Cafe, Customer Service and Dining. Achieving a Gold ‘Coffee Shop of the Year 2016’ award at the Herald Express Tourism Awards was an especially proud moment. Though the best reward is seeing the familiar faces of our loyal local customers who come in all seasons to enjoy our Cafe.
