While staying at The Babbacombe Royal Hotel & Carvery you may like to do a little bit of retail therapy.

There are plenty of interesting shops and boutiques just a stones throw away from the hotel in Wellswood, Babbacombe, Plainmoor & St. Marychurch where the pedestrianised precinct, with it's small shops and "al fresco" dining give a continental atmosphere.

There are many independently owed shops as well as the usual high street favorites. There are many banks and building societies should you need them and plenty of local produce on sale from traditional Devon Fudge and ice cream to a hot Cornish Pasty.

If you want to go further afield there are many retail parks as you head towards Torquay town centre and the town centre itself offers an abundance of shops, cafes, restaurants and an indoor market.
So if shopping is your thing then there's no better place to start than The Royal Hotel on the beautiful Babbacombe Downs.
