A characterful selection of Hutss and suites on the South Devon coast, complete with luxury spa and outstanding views.

One of the Sunday Times' coveted Best Places to Stay', Cary Arms & Spa is a luxurious boutique hotel and spa complex, blissfully secluded in South Devon's Babbacombe Bay. The scenery here is truly magnificent, taking in the red cliffs of Dorset and even Portland Bill on a clear day. Forming part of the South West Coast Path, you can easily capture some of the most beautiful seaside views you'll ever see.

The Cary Arms beach Hutss and suites are a special addition to the hotel complex, nestled right on the water's edge amongst tropical coastal gardens. Cradle your morning coffee on your private terrace, as you take in all the dramatic beauty of the Jurassic coast...and that's just for starters!
There's plenty of traditional seaside charm imbued in your luxurious Huts, complete with lovingly selected furnishings, contemporary artwork, and huge wall-to-wall glass doors (meaning you won't miss out on a single moment of that fantastic scenery, whatever the weather).

Discover a spacious terrace and lounge with feature fire, a cosy double bedroom and a sumptuous waterfall shower. Indulgent additions include Smart TVs, a mini Smeg fridge and a Sonos wireless music system...what else could you possibly need? Well, how about a complimentary bottle of house wine and soft drinks too!

If you're celebrating something special, or you're simply in the mood for an upgrade, the incredibly spacious Beach Suites measure an impressive 980 sq ft each and are decked in shimmering coastal colours that complement the panoramic views. Wrap yourselves in the soft bathrobes provided, pour yourselves a drink and just relax! Or take a trip to the sea-facing, glass-faceted spa, and spend some much-needed chillout time in the steam room or sauna.

After a sound night's sleep, enjoy an optional continental hamper delivered straight to your Huts or suite, as you mull over what you're going to do with your day. The English Riviera is home to many beautiful towns and fishing ports, including Brixham and Dartmouth, famed for its narrow winding streets and stylish shops. Dartmoor National Park, meanwhile, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and accessible within half an hour.

Otherwise, why not simply unfurl your towel on one of Babbacombe's beautiful beaches, all of which are sun-soaked and view-filled? Energetic types can try out all kinds of watersports, while if you're feeling particularly lazy, the historic Babbacombe Cliff funicular railway is on hand to take you from beach to village in the most scenic way possible.

Enjoy a meal at the hotel restaurant (where you might even bag the Captain's Table if you're lucky enough!), and then saunter back to your heavenly Huts, just in time to catch that blazing orange sunset reflected in the sea.

  • Treetops Treehouse

    • 2 nights min stay

    The steps up to Treetops Treehouse lift you clear into the canopy and you’re suddenly alone with the peaceful breeze through the leaves, the occasional skittering squirrel and only the good kind of twitter. The temptation is to fire up the wood-burner, settle on the sofa and crack into the local welcome cider, but the rest of the treehouse is worth exploring. Upstairs you’ll find the king-size bed and in another room downstairs the huge copper bath, where you can lie back and soak up the quiet as the stress just drains away. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and there’s a barbecue outside on the deck, but if you fancy a treat then book in at the superb restaurant of The Fox & Hounds and head across the grounds for dinner. When you come back, sink into the bean bags in the secret cubby hole on the deck and watch the sun set on the fishing lake and the trees of Heywood Forest as the local train chugs past beneath you. Treetops Treehouse is set in the North Devon Biosphere Reserve, with the River Taw just below. If you want to leave the car behind, Eggesford train station is just a 5 minute walk away, and the Tarka Line runs to Barnstaple in one direction and Exeter in the other. As well as fishing on the lake and river, there’s the Tarka Trail that’ll take you on foot or by bike through charming villages and beautiful countryside via the odd homely pub. You can hit the coast for surfing, coasteering and a dip in the sea, or just spend the whole time lounging in the treehouse, sipping champagne and looking out over the pond.

With panoramic views, it’s the perfect place to watch the sun go down with a glass of something cold, play a game or simply reconnect with the ones you love.
