A class establishment at a very reasonable price. Very friendly and attentive hosts a breakfast to die for. In my mind the hardest thing to create in a guest house is atmosphere it just felt like home from home here relaxing in the bar area I felt like I was in my front room. Thank you Lyn and Scott

Absolutely worthwhile and amazing
Scott and Linn were simply amazing to have as hosts. They welcomed us to a lovely warm home and even arranged for a birthday surprise that my partner requested them to. They served us delicious breakfast and little treats around the home to enjoy. Scott even suggested us good places to go to nearby in the town. We would certainly stay with them the next time we visit Babbacombe.
