Gas central heating, electricity, gas,bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Roof terrace. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. 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.

How do I put this into words with so many superlatives relating to this property ? In summary this accommodation is in a league of its own and we have stayed at numerous venues over the years and this is second to none . In terms of rating it a 5 star in every aspect from the guy who runs the show ( Tony ) to the finest detail throughout the accommodation. The house itself has a beautiful view across Babbacombe Bay that you could be mistaken for thinking you were abroad . All rooms are spacious including 5 en suite bedrooms that resemble a 5 star hotel room . Furthermore , an absolutely stunning roof top terrace that gives you an even better view over the bay and the luxury of a 12 seater sofa area that allows all the family to enjoy a relaxing sit down at any time of the day to enjoy a drink. I could go on indefinitely as this is just a summary of the excellent accommodation it is, but to fully appreciate the full extent of how fantastic it is you need to be there and although the photos on the website look fabulous they don't even do it justice . Suffice to say we will be returning sooner rather than later and the final word must go to Tony the main man who's customer care is also top class. Regards Kevin,Jennifer & Family

Lovely comfortable house in a wonderful location. Every kitchen appliance you would want. Plenty of good eateries and take aways in easy walking distance. No outdoor play area attached to house for children but lawned area immediately across the road. Relaxing roof area although not for young children. Steep walk to and from beaches, funicular train available. Close to amazing model village.

Would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Tony was very hospitable, friendly, and receptive. The accommodation had all the necessities to cater for large families and was maintained to a high standard. Would definitely recommend.
