The Trecarn Hotel

8/10 Good
"Booked as a standard single room in a budget hotel on a room only basis. The room was clean and tidy and offered reasonable comfort for my needs and everything worked. The staff member booking me in was pleasant. I did not use any of the rest of the hotel but thought the entrance and lounge area looked quite smart. The long walk to the room is a bit of drawback but not unexpected. The hotel is normally the cheapest option in the Babbacombe and is useful in that regard."

"Staff were very pleasant and helpful; the hotel is well situated and close to lots of places, so a good base if you are visiting the Torbay area. Breakfast was good and it’s well organised so no problem getting a table. The room was good - we had a balcony which was 3 times bigger than our room 😁. Remember to book a parking space in advance if you are taking your car"
