We spent a couple of nights at the Balmoral in early August very good location for the beach and access to the coastal footpath recommend the walk to Babbacombe and Oddicombe beach with at stop at Anstey Cove. Delightful and spacious gardens overlooking the sea just nice to chill out with a cold beer, bar and lounge area are also well set out complimenting the gardens. It is a brisk 10 minute walk into the town centre or if you prefer there is a bus stop immediately outside the Hotel.
We paid for an upgrade to a premium room which was clean, tidy and quite spacious… Staff excellent nothing too much trouble polite, helpful and friendly. Although we did not have an evening meal we heard complimentary reports and the breakfast was good. Overall an enjoyable stay in a very pleasant location.
