Had a lovely weekend stay in the Morningside a few weeks ago, excellent rooms with staff that catered to our every needs. Beautiful views of the bay, with lots to do in the surrounding area. The Consevatory cafe was wonderful with exceptional food, views and staff who were happy to help. Would definitely go back in the future.

we stayed there back at easter, and we had a great time. the bed was creaky, and there was a constant noise of seagulls in the morning, but we had a lovely time and would go back at a drop of a hat. the location was brilliant, with plenty to do in Babbacombe itself, and Torquay was only a 30...

A group of us hired The Morningside for a weekend; we were made very welcome. Paul, Jon-Paul and the team were very friendly and pulled out all the stops to make the weekend a success. Breakfast was great and we were well catered for. This family run hotel is being modernised and those rooms that have been redecorated are of... More

A nice hotel with stunning views,the rooms are clean and comfortable but in all honesty could do with a lick of paint as could the dining room,that said the breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient,would definitely stay there again.

Good value for the location. No bar or restaurant facilities but there see plenty locally. Car park a bit limited but there is free on street parking available. Breakfast a little late for a working day.

Everything in our previous two reports are still correct. Friendly staff, good breakfast and excellent facilities and the sea view is one of the best in Devon. Evening meals are not available but this is a plus factor because it allows you to use the fanastic selection of establishments nearby and when you go farther afield you do not have... More

I have stayed here three times over a couple of years and always try to get a booking when I go to Babbacombe. This last time we had two single rooms in our party and in fact ended up in nice big rooms on the ground floor. Both rooms appeared to be newly decorated, clean and well maintained. My bed... More
