Beachside inn where dogs eat in the restaurant, with their own menu

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A small five-star inn with suites and beach huts cut into the cliff at Babbacombe Beach, on the north side of Torquay. It suits couples who want the sea at the door and a relaxed pub feel with a spa. Dogs are allowed in the main restaurant and lounge, and there's an A La Bark dog menu with sausages, a chicken dinner and doggy ice cream.

The South West Coast Path runs right past the door, and Oddicombe Beach is the next cove along. Babbacombe Downs sits on the clifftop above.
