Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Cary Arms & Spa's exceptional location, which provides stunning ocean views directly from the rooms. The spaciousness and beautiful decor of accommodations like the Beach Huts are frequently mentioned, with some guests particularly enjoying the garden area. While the TV may be slow and have a small screen according to a few guests, the availability of valet parking is a notable convenience, especially given the hotel's positioning on a steep hill near Babbacombe Beach.

car valetbeach suiteoutdoor deckinghelpful staff
The free car valet service proved really useful because the road to the hotel is steep. our beach front suite had lovely coastal views. the outdoor decking area gave us amazing space due to the fantastic weather. the staff were great. Nothing was too much.
adults and children climbed the rock directly opposite our suite, potentially spoiling privacy, so that was very slightly annoying.
