Cottage holiday rentals in Babbacombe

Wow we loved this place so so much! Firstly it was within the most peaceful setting you could imagine. Sitting out in the garden was so serene, and the wood fired hot tub was a fun bonus! Inside was immaculate, so cosy and homely! Absolutely everything you might think you need was supplied! The upstairs bedroom/bathroom was dreamy! Surrounded by lovely walks (the coastal footpath was only 5 minutes walk away) and close by to some gorgeous Devonshire villages/towns, I genuinely couldn’t fault this property! Hopefully we will be back soon! ☺️

We had a wonderful time at our stay. The house was very comfortable and clean. The house is located on high level- so not very suitable for wheel chair users or people with walking problems. The bedrooms both had en suits which both were lovely (both upstairs with no downstairs toilet). The kitchen was well equipped. The location was also very good with places to visit - a car is needed. There is a good size private outside patio to use with good quality garden furniture. With an additional grass section in front -children to play The big bonus was the access to the swimming pool . steam room , sauna & jacuzzi throughout your stay.The whole family really enjoyed it- you need to bring your own towels as they do not supply the towels unless you are staying in the golf club hotel. The Golf club has a bar and Resturant to get food and drink. The golf course was especially good. Very well maintained with beautiful views. Not expensive to hire and play. We would love to return.

Beautiful cottage with cosy but striking decor, really comfortable and cosy. Perfect for the six of us. Kitchen had everything we needed to prep a roast and the garden was small but perfectly formed. The local pub was a stones throw through a pretty village, with a really delicious menu. Only downside was no local shop for a pint of milk, loaf or emergency crisps. But I guess that may be tricky to sustain in second home areas. All in all a really comfortable cottage - thank you x

Katharyn and Ben were amazing hosts. Really friendly and helpful, the property is full of character, comfortable and with everything you need for a quiet country getaway. We loved sitting in the garden room at breakfast time and chilling in the hot tub in the evening sunshine. The beautiful beach of Beer, and the pretty fishing villages along the coast are no more than a 30 min drive away so it's a great place to base yourself for some exploring too. A wonderful find and highly recommended! Thank you!

Had a lovely few days away. Chris' cottage is very peaceful and had amazing views whilst relaxing in the garden. The cottage itself is very clean and homely. We would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking to come to Devon.

Fantastic house on a peaceful road, nicely furnished well kitted out. Comfy beds and linen. Hot tub was super a really relaxing holiday.

This is a fantastic place to stay and Emma and Kevin are the perfect balance of friendly while also giving you privacy. The whole place is so well equipped and the wood-fired hot tub is so relaxing, even in the rain! The location is fantastic for Dartmoor and Totnes, and the local pub is fab.

We were excited for Stonewalls from the minute we found the ad. Our hosts were amazing, always helpful and responsive, and the house itself was wonderful. Well equipped, clean, comfortable and really felt like a "home from home". The hot tub was immense, and absolutely made our holiday. We have friends in Torquay, so it worked well with day trips to Totnes, Plymouth and Torquay. We also had a wonderful meal at the Crabshell and wanders round Kingsbridge. Thank you so much again for a wonderful stay and we'll definitely be back 😊

Thyme cottage was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The cottage is characterful and comfortable and well equipped. The fireplace was a wonderful, warm touch. The village of Woodbury Salterton is charming and friendly and close to Exeter. The Diggers Rest is a must! Stop in for a friendly pint or even better for a meal. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Thyme cottage will be among our top stays.

The Nook was a lovely cottage right in the centre of town close to all amenities, it was also quiet, the cottage had everything in it that you could wish for and the thought that has gone into it is exceptional especially regarding dogs. We were so grateful that Tania was able to accommodate us at very short notice. We will definitely be returning

Such a great place. Accommodated us all well. Kitchen well equipped for our needs. Lovely outside area. The cake was such a lovely welcome touch. We met Giles so welcoming, helpful and very friendly, we would highly recommend the Swallows. We went for a Sunday lunch the village pub lovely food. We visited the Amelia's Flower Farm well worth a visit. A great stay.

We had a lovely 1 week stay in the cottage, with our Cavapoo. It was more spacious than appeared in photos and was beautifully renovated to a high standard. I was able fit comfortably under the rafters (I'm 6'3") and the bed was very comfortable. The Little thoughtful gifts were very much appreciated. We only used our car twice during our stay, as there are lots of local walks and everything we needed was within walking distance. We mostly self catered and found almost everything we needed. Unfortunately though the 'freezer' is actually a small icebox in the fridge. So our frozen goods had to be eaten quickly 😂 It is genuinely though a' home from home ' and Brixham is now our new favourite place and we will definitely be back to Smugglers Cottage.

We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting family. The property was exactly how Duncan described it. It’s a beautiful property in the heart of the countryside but not too far from major attractions, an ideal base for hectic days out and then coming back to relax in such a wonderful property. The property is pet friendly with a lovely outside enclosed garden for your pet and for relaxing with a drink in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Right from the outset Duncan and Nikki were extremely friendly and were at hand for anything we needed if required plus keeping us informed of everything we needed to know. We had a wonderful break at the “The Old Hayloft” and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay! Went with our little dog and grandparents, it was the most peaceful week that was very much needed before a crazy farmer summer! We loved that Piers recommended things to us when we said where we were going! Really great place and everything was perfect.

A lovely home, well equipped and close to all amenities. We had a great week there. Would thoroughly recommend though not necessarily for the less agile. Several steps in the house and steep staircase to upstairs. But has a beautiful downstairs bedroom and shower room.

We had a wonderful stay at Katy’s place. It was so very peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Having the enclosed courtyard was invaluable, as I was alone some days with the dogs and it meant I didn’t have to worry about where they were, as it was totally secure and private. The kitchen facilities were everything I needed for cooking, the property was spotless and relaxing and of high quality throughout. Walking from the door up the lane to the woods was fabulous with the dogs. And the homemade scones on arrival were amazing. Thank you Katy for a wonderful stay.

Little Timbers is a wonderful retreat in the gorgeous village of Coffinswell. The accommodation provided everything we needed and more, and was very comfortable indeed. Tim and Chrissie are fantastic hosts, respectful of their guests privacy but always on hand for any questions and smiling faces when you see them in the garden. If ever we are back in the area, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. top tip: book the Linny Inn (a short walk up the road) for dinner: you won't regret it!

Had a lovely few days in the hutch. Chloe is a fantastic host, came to welcome and to say goodbye, also kept in contact throughout my stay to check I was ok. The hutch is lovely and immaculate, with everything provided. Lovely quiet spot with great views but really close to amenities and transport links. I would definitely recommend and would stay again!

We had a great weekend walking the SW Coast Path from Claire’s place. Well positioned for that in a quiet area but near to a small high street. Would recommend it as a place to stay away from the bustle of the coastal towns which are all very accessible from this location. We would stay again

A lovely, homely cottage. Clean, spacious and beautifully presented with a private parking space and garden. The bed was very comfortable which is a must to get a good nights sleep after a busy day exploring the sights or relaxing on the beach. The cottage is in a great location. It was very easy to find and within a short walk from bars , restaurants, local shops, the Model Village and more importantly the beach. At one end of the street is a bus stop, for £3 you can go to Torquay Harbour. We caught the ferry to Brixham for the day. So much to see and do. We highly recommend a visit to Greenway, the holiday home of Agatha Christie and also a trip on the Round Robin. We booked this at Torquay Harbour. It's great value and includes a bus from Paignton to Totnes, a ferry on the River Dart to Dartmouth then a steam train back to Paignton. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and would like to return, not only to Torquay but also St George Cottage.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this wonderful cottage for three weeks—and we honestly could have stayed much longer! The cottage itself is perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen had all the tools and essentials for cooking (which we really appreciated), and there were plenty of toys for our two boys—both indoors and out—which made the stay extra special for them. The space is spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel instantly like home. The garden was one of our favorite spots—beautiful, peaceful, and a perfect place to unwind. Our sons had so much fun playing there. Helen and Louis were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. They were full of great recommendations for day trips, local food, and things to do in the area, and were a real pleasure to talk to. We’re genuinely sad to leave and would love to come back again. Highly recommended!

Excellent location for us to visit family. Beautifully situated for a stay in Babbacombe ….would definitely use again

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Swallows Nest. Lucia and Dan met us on arrival and also left a card and bottle of bubbly for my birthday which I thought was very kind. We have a four year old and one year old so it’s not always easy finding somewhere suitable but Lucia kindly set up a cot for us and supplied a high chair. The upstairs is open plan with a gate across the stairs so very safe for our baby crawling. Our four year old absolutely loved being on a farm and going to collect fresh milk from over the road. It’s so peaceful day and night. It was our first time in this part of Devon and we were blown away by the landscape, pretty little villages and many beaches in such lovely unspoilt settings. We would love to stay again!

The cottage was ideal for our stay in Brixham. A parking space was a great bonus. Gemma had thought of everything we may have needed for our stay with lots of added extras. This was much appreciated. We were spoiled for choice of DVD and the outside space, which we shared only with pigeons and a partridge (?) was most impressive. We would definitely recommend Gemma's place.
