Babbacombe House is a luxurious holiday property with an unrivalled location. Based directly on the famous Babbacombe Downs in Torquay, every front-facing room has stunning, far-reaching views. From the minute you enter the property, you are greeted by high ceilings and high quality fixtures and fittings. The open plan kitchen/dining room on the ground floor oozes class with marble worktops and high end appliances as well as a Smart TV to watch while socialising or hosting a dinner. There is also a separate ground floor toilet and bunk bedroom just off of the kitchen/dining area on this floor. Through the hallway and the ground floor living room, although slightly snug for the size of the property, has bay-fronted windows with views over Babbacombe Downs green, which you could sit in front of and watch all day. Upstairs on the first floor are two queen-sized bedrooms, both with plenty of clothes storage and Smart TVs. Both bedrooms have doors connecting them to a large walk-in wardrobe and both also have access to a large bathroom containing free standing bath and separate walk-in shower. On the second floor are three further bedrooms, one kingsize bedroom with an en-suite shower room, one super king-size bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower and finally a double bedroom with another en-suite shower room. All of the bedrooms are generous in size and are decorated to impress. Finally, up the last set of stairs to the third floor on the landing there is a ’mini kitchen’ with fridge for storing drinks and a sink, from the landing there is a door which leads out onto a large roof terrace with breathtaking panoramic views. A truly fabulous area where you can sit out and relax after a long day at the beach, or for simply sunbathing and socialising all day without being overlooked or disturbed in any way.
As Babbacombe House is directly on the front of the downs, in each direction is a wide variety of restaurants, bars and cafés for guests to choose from all at your doorstep, as is the large green across the road. Babbacombe beach, Oddicombe beach and Crab beach are all within walking distance, less than a mile away. The main town of Torquay, with its marina and seafront, is also just 2 miles downhill. There is a huge variety of things to do nearby for both adults and children, whether that be visiting the local Princess Theatre to watch a show or play, a round golf or collecting tickets around the arcades and competing against each other at the local bowling alley. Whether you are visiting Torquay especially or are just looking for a large get together with plenty to do nearby, Babbacombe House is the perfect choice.

5 ladies stayed in April 2026 and we loved the place. It is well equipped and a very comfortable stay. We met the owner during our stay as he happened to be visiting someone next door. Tony was very pleasant and welcoming. Having a good selection of local cafes and restaurants so close by was great. The funicular railway and model village were within walking distance too. The view from the property was stunning. We were blessed with good weather and managed to make good use of the roof terrace. It was handy having a small kitchen with microwave and fridge just inside of the roof terrace to warm our snacks and keep our white wine cool. But even if you were indoors, the lounge area had great views too. Thoughtful touches like having numerous blankets for the outdoors were useful as the sun set. We thought the cafe below us might have been a problem with noise, but even though it was busy (and we would recommend for food), it didn't disturb us. The place was immaculately clean throughout. Thank you Tony for a truly great stay.

We had a family break to Babbacombe house for my mum‘s 70th birthday. It was the perfect location, with the kitchen island and large dining table for family meals and the most beautiful view of the sea out the bay room window in the living room. All the bedrooms were spacious and clean and overall it felt like a luxury experience. It was within easy walking distance of the model village and the Babbacombe Railway too which was perfect for the children. In fact, we were all impressed with the model village, well worth a visit, very clever.
