101 Short Breaks

The Cary Arms, Devon

Annabelle's verdict

Artfully masquerading as ‘The Inn on the Beach’, this is one of the most sophisticated hotels in Devon and the latest project from Peter de Savary and his wife Lana. Teetering over Babbacombe Bay, rooms are the best of British seaside chic, there’s a bijou spa room and a space-age pod for funky dining with breathtaking sea views.

The Cary Arms says

Our ‘Inn on the Beach’ at Babbacombe is the ultimate beach-side hideaway. You will be entranced by the stunning views of Babbacombe Bay and the coastline through every window and the fresh and relaxing barefoot beach ambiance.

Spacious, sea-facing rooms offer laid back comfort mixed with contemporary coastal style. Think luxurious Italian bed linen, bespoke fabrics and all the elements expected of a boutique bolthole recreated with a twist.  The bathrooms are stylish too, packed with Elemis goodies.

Dining here is all about lazy breakfasts, long lunches and sumptuous dinners with the very best of unpretentious gastro pub food. Dine al fresco on the terraces or enjoy the indoor fireside ambience.

Sunbathe on a private terrace overhanging the crystal waters and rocks. Take a boat ride to your own secluded bay for a delectable picnic. Try your hand at paddle boarding or scuba diving right on the doorstep.  Capture the sunset on a rugged cliff top walk or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach.

Indulgence your senses and enjoy a pampering Elemis treatment in our Spa Room.

Offering a totally unique dining experience, the glass sphere ‘Pod’, with a backdrop purely of sea and far reaching Lyme Bay coastal views, should not be missed on the perfect starry evening.
