The Hotel

Located within the English Riviera town of Torquay, the boutique style five-star Babbacombe Bay Hotel overlooks the sea, with views towards Lyme Regis, Portland Bill and Dorset coast. The hotel provides a convenient hub for exploring the local area, beaches, coastal paths, as well as the local wildlife and the Babbacombe Cliff Railway.

Each room is individually styled, inviting guests to airy interiors imbued with marine motifs and ornate Rococo touches. The rooms come complete with en suite bathroom facilities. Some rooms feature sea views.

The on-site coffee shop’s menu is replete with European cuisine as well as traditional English fare, with all treats being dished up from fresh locally sourced produce and ingredients. Continental and English breakfast is also served at the coffee shop.

Guests can further unwind on the rooftop terrace, with seating and views stretching from the bay out towards Dorset or try local cuisine in the hotel’s bistro.

Groupon’s Guide To Torquay

Occupying a convenient location on the coast, Torquay allures travellers with its bustling harbour, famous palms and yellow sands of the English Riviera. 

Visitors are invited to take a walk through the local beaches and coves or make their way down to Torquay harbour front to gaze at the passing boats while enjoying traditional fish and chips. Amateur sleuths may want to investigate the biography of crime writer and Torquay native Agatha Christie, details of whose life and works may be followed across the “Agatha Christie Mile” tour of informative plaques. Daily boat trips to the seaside towns of Paignton and Brixham or steam rail journeys to Dartmouth will also make for a delightful excursion.
