The owners say to 'forget your troubles and relax in our charming inn' - what more invitation do you need? With a roaring winter fire, and beautiful summer beer garden overlooking the estuary, sup a real ale and enjoy 'good food, good beer and good cheer' at this 15th Century freehouse.
Perched on an inland clifftop over the River Torridge, there are some fabulous views in all directions and lots of history to discover as you wander the Pannier Market and bump into historical reenactments along the Tarka Way.
A visit to the gardens would not be complete without calling in to the cafe for food made with fresh produce from the gardens, including chutney and jams.
A traditional Devonshire pub with extensive sunny beer garden in a tranquil village setting. Family run, the pub opens daily serving local ales and delicious meals. The Sunday carvery is very popular and booking recommended.
Only one mile away from the famous Tarka Trail, this pub is the perfect stopping place for traditional English pub food. Fires keep you toasty in winter and a secluded garden is the perfect place to sit in summer.
The Tarka Trail covers over 160 miles of pathways and bridleways in Devon and forms part of the Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route. The trail will take you pretty much as far as you want to wander with easy flat paths and estuary views. Just watch out for cyclists, it's a popular route.
A traditional country pub with large car park and lovely garden for alfresco dining in summer. If you need entertaining there's a pool room and two dart boards. Food is home cooked and this pub opens every day of the week.
The Tarka Trail is a long distance walk in north Devon and this section starts on the old railway line next to the platform at Torrington Station. Views are spectacular and follow the route on the www.devon.gov.uk website for detailed information.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
