Questions about The Babbacombe Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at The Babbacombe Hotel?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Babbacombe Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Babbacombe Hotel?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Does The Babbacombe Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does The Babbacombe Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at The Babbacombe Hotel?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book The Babbacombe Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
