Sat on the terrce here on a sunny Friday afternoon enjoying the magnificent view of the bay. Although we got here at 3pm, kitchen closing time until dinner, the team were very obliging and took our order. We had what we rate to be the best crab sandwich ever. Came on very fresh granary bed, with a crisp salad and... More

This is a true boutique bolthole ! It oozes old english coastal charm and I often feel very Famous Five along the cliff walks.Rooms are beautifully decorated and the bar/restaurant offer great gastro fayre and beverages. The special little touches like Sloe Gin in the rooms is great. The team running the Cary Arms are hospitable, but allow guest privacy,... More

a return trip for the 6 of us , who have variously and independently eaten and stayed here on a number of occasions over the past 2 years. A disappointing time in the restaurant with slow service, lackluster food. The sparkle seems to have gone, and in it's place is something a lot less ebullient. Babbacome however retains all of...

A couple of things first-time visitors need to know about the Cary Arms: it’s a great gastro-pub, and it’s also an inn that is working with and amid the challenges of its tightly packed location and frontage on a popular public beach. The property lies at the base of Babbacombe Beach, which you reach after travelling down a hair-raising 30-degree... More

Having travelled the world far and wide, staying in four season and five star resorts, I can rate this as one of the best. The location is amazing. The beautiful bay of babbacombe, with far reaching views, dolphins and seclusion are ideal for romance. Having spent a night in the commodore room, I can see why it has won so... More

We went to Babbacome to see the model village and ride on the Babbacombe cliff lift and afterwards took a walk along the beach when we came upon the Cary Arms. We only really wanted a snack and at first look we thought their menu was a bit on the expensive side but soon changed our minds when our food... More

The hotel and cottage was fab, nothing was too much trouble and they made us and the dogs feel welcome. Quiet, stunning views and walks yet only minutes from all the necessary's. We didn't cook in the cottage - the food in the restaurant was so good, including the doggie dinners which made an extra special treat for our two... More

We stayed three nights with our dog, Daisy. The room was lovely, the manager and all the staff were incredibly friendly and efficient and the food was very good too. Great view from the room and the beach is just down the steps so perfect for taking the dog down to the sea. Daisy loved the extras on the Doggy... More

Been coming to Babbacombe on business for years. First time I have stayed at the Cary Arms. Absolutely lovely. Staff good, food good, accomodation good. We stayed in a cottage called "Pebbles". Would definitely recommend.
