Anchorage Hotel & Spa - A family-run hotel with an outdoor heated pool, restaurant, and proximity to Babbacombe Beach

The family-run Anchorage Hotel offers an outdoor heated swimming pool open through early September and a restaurant serving breakfast and evening meals. All guestrooms include free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers or baths. Some rooms feature pool views, tea and coffee making facilities, and bathrobes. The hotel's meeting room accommodates 1-20 people and has a 55-inch screen for presentations, excellent WiFi, and lighting. Babbacombe Beach, a renowned scuba diving site, is 1 km away, while Oddicombe Beach, home to the Cliff Railway, is a 10-minute walk. The Babbacombe Theatre, known for family variety shows, is nearby, along with Kents Cavern, a historic cave system. Nearby restaurants include Labrows Bistro Bar and Himalaya Restaurant.

Pros

The heated outdoor pool is open until early September for relaxation and swimming.

Close proximity to Babbacombe Beach and local attractions like the Babbacombe Model Village.

On-site restaurant with breakfast and evening meal options.

Cons

Street parking around the hotel can be limited during peak times.

The outdoor pool may not be suitable for year-round use due to seasonal closures.

“In my opinion, this family-run hotel delivers strong value, particularly with its full-board options and friendly, well-trained staff. The outdoor spaces, including the gardens and pool area, provide a relaxing environment. Its location is convenient for exploring the area, and the pet-friendly policy is a definite plus.”
