The Cary Arms & Spa

About

The Cary Arms & Spa is a celebrated coastal retreat perched on Babbacombe Bay on the South Devon coast. It blends heritage inn charm with contemporary luxury, offering 10 sea‑view rooms and suites within a 19th‑century inn, 6 restored fishermen’s cottages, 6 beach huts and a beach suite, and even larger cottages for families. Each accommodation boasts spectacular ocean views, private terraces, and the finest contemporary décor, making it an ideal base for both romantic getaways and spacious family holidays. Guests can indulge in the award‑winning spa, which features a hydrotherapy pool, waterfall, experience shower, sauna, steam room and two treatment rooms. Treatments are available to all guests, with a two‑hour package priced at £15 per person for non‑residents. Dining is an adventure as well, with a gourmet restaurant that serves fresh local seafood and Devon beef from 12:00 to 2:45 pm and again from 6:30 to 8:45 pm daily. The open‑air Captain’s Table and the historic Inn restaurant offer sweeping sea views and a relaxed gastro‑style menu. The property is renowned for being dog‑friendly, providing beds, bowls and treats for pet owners, and a dedicated dog‑friendly accommodation section lets guests lodge in rooms, cottages, beach huts or suites with a pet fee of £25 per night. Beyond the spa and dining, the Cary Arms embraces sustainability and local sourcing, and offers private events, weddings, team‑building retreats and seasonal breaks, making it a versatile venue for both leisure and business visitors.
