Babbacombe Bliss

Sitting within the beautiful Babbacombe Downs which boasts the highest cliff top promenade in England, this elegant apartment puts you in a prime position for exploring the nearby beaches, as well as Torquay’s bustling harbour and marina.

Inside, luxuriously dressed interiors welcome you to unwind and relax from the moment you step through the door, whether that’s relaxing on the plump sofa with a glass of wine or gathering around the elegant dining table for an intimate homecooked meal. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally as chic with their bold colour palettes and sumptuous beds, while the stylish metro-tiled bathroom is ready to get any day of adventure off on a pampered foot.

Your host ensures a carefree stay with a plethora of luxe additions on offer, including private chefs, organised games evenings, wine tastings, yoga lessons and delicious food hampers, while your scenic locale means you needn't go far before enjoying a sunny day at the beach or beautiful views along winding coastal paths.

Slip on your swimsuit and make a beeline for Oddicombe Beach and Babbacombe Beach (both a fifteen-minute walk) or head to Anstey's Cove – a peaceful shingle beach nestled between high cliffs and a thickly wooded hillside – a twenty-minute stroll away. On clear days, you can see right across to Portland Bill in Dorset from the scenic Babbacombe Downs (a three-minute walk), while the legendary South West Coast Path (a fifteen-minute walk away) will take you to bustling Torquay, which can also be reached in just eight minutes by car.
