Restaurants near Babbacombe Model Village and Garden

Fabulous food, good service, good price, as always.

That was a most enjoyable experience, not inexpensive but worth every penny. Superb ingredients, perfectly prepared and presented and accompanied by a great selection of wines. Definitely a Michelin star meal.

The hotel is not what it was in its glamorous heyday but the stunning views of Torbay have not changed and that is reason enough to pay a visit. Another good reason to pay a visit is for the impressive afternoon tea, most of the treats being made in-house. My companion remarked that it was comparable with her last afternoon tea - that was at Fortnum & Mason! Also, it looked more impressive than the very expensive afternoon tea at that castle hotel on Dartmoor! Great value, lovely relaxed ambience, hotel looked a bit tired and in need of some tlc to restore it to its former glory, or a revamp. I loved the history and feel of the place despite the slightly faded grandeur. I was however surprised to find the hotel guest toilets not as nice as those I have encountered at Wetherspoons! That said, the views of Torbay from the hotel are incomparable and I can thoroughly recommend the excellent afternoon tea offering which we both considered to be great value.

The menu was nothing close to what we had seen on the website. Whilst that was disappointing the food we did choose was outstanding. The service started poorly but when a new waitress appeared everything was perfect. We had river trout and seafood tagliatelle. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and excellent service.

Was a lovely day - Mother’s Day food was delicious Servers were polite, quick and efficient.
