Win a three course dinner with a glass of house wine each for you and a guest at The Cary Arms & Spa — one of Devon's most celebrated coastal retreats, named among The Telegraph's Top 250 Hotels in the UK.
Perched above the turquoise waters of Babbacombe Bay on the English Riviera, The Cary Arms & Spa is a historic inn dating from the early 17th century. Originally a fishermen's inn, it was famously the place where Prince Albert stopped for a Devonshire cream tea when a nearby property could not provide clotted cream. Today it is one of Torbay's most exclusive boutique resorts, winner of Gold at the 2025 Devon Tourism Awards for Spa & Wellbeing Experience of the Year.
Your prize is dinner for two in the AA Rosette restaurant, where panoramic sea views frame every table. The kitchen focuses on locally sourced, seasonal produce from across Devon and the South West, with a menu that changes to reflect the best of what the region has to offer. Expect beautifully crafted dishes in a warm, characterful dining room — stone walls, timber beams, and the sound of the sea just outside.
The prize covers a three course dinner with a glass of house wine per person. Subject to availability — booking required directly with the venue.
The Cary Arms & Spa is a historic inn nestled in the sheltered cove of Babbacombe Bay, just outside Torquay on Devon's English Riviera. Dating from the early 17th century, it takes its name from the Cary family who have shaped Torquay's history since 1662.
Today the inn is a multi-award-winning boutique coastal resort, recognised among The Telegraph's Top 250 Hotels in the UK and a Gold winner at the 2025 Devon Tourism Awards. It offers sea-view rooms and suites, restored fishermen's cottages, on-the-beach huts, a glass-framed oceanfront spa, and an AA Rosette restaurant with some of the finest views on the South Devon coast.
