Cary Arms & Spa, Devon
Between thickly wooded headlands and above Babbacombe Bay, the Cary Arms has an unrivalled waterfront position. This old inn has been gracefully extended over the years to provide accommodation to suit all beachgoers. Here, the crash of waves will soothe you to sleep, especially after a day spent exploring neighbouring coves along the South West Coast Path. Choose from rooms with sea-facing terraces, traditional cottages that accept children and dogs, or the Beach Huts, where couples can fling open bifold doors and sunbathe beside the sea. The modern, cedar-clad Beach Suites are particularly luxurious, with spacious decking. Soothe tired feet in the spa’s hydrotherapy pool or enjoy leisurely dining at the restaurant, which celebrates ingredients plucked fresh from the bay. Doubles from £205, caryarms.co.uk
