Stay was ok, but bit disappointed with the overall look of the inside of the hotel.
Location was great. Breakfast was great, nice choice of fruit & cooked items. Food was cooked well & came to the table piping hot. Balcony & view was great. Friendly host.
We wasn’t told at time of booking that there…

Questions about The Downs, Babbacombe

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

Check-in is from 3:30 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Downs, Babbacombe allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Downs, Babbacombe?

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 Downs, Babbacombe have Wi-Fi?

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

Does The Downs, Babbacombe 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.

How do I book The Downs, Babbacombe?

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.
