Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 201 reviews
This 3.2 mile route on the South West Coast Path travels through a long wooded valley to The Torrs, a rugged area also known as 'The Seven Hills' with tremendous views across the Bristol Channel. Any walk around the town features steep gradients, but the magnificent cliff scenery towering above the picturesque harbour makes it worth the effort.

A great walk from Combe Martin to ilfracombe. Many covered wooded paths if steep in places. Mouth watering views in the sunshine. Well worth doing if hard work in the sun. Widmouth definitely worth a visit ????????

Visited twice during our stay and had a fantastic time both visits. Carole was so welcoming and made a really effort to explain the games and play with us. Would really recommend to anyone who enjoys playing games, they have a great range for all abilities and types of games. If you have a rainy day or evening, there isn't a better way to spend the time - we ended up buying 3 different games they we played as they were so much fun. Games were also really well priced and cheaper than online prices. Thanks for all your hospitality!

Pub and eatery in the stunning Watermouth Valley

We popped into Sawmills on our way home on the off chance that we could get a table as we had been unable to book online due to poor internet connectivity. Beth greeted us as we exceptionally polite, helpful and informative. She found us a table very quickly and took us to it. We were greeted by her colleague who promptly took our drinks order and explained the food ordering process to us. Scanning the barcode on the table and looking at the menu online, on your own phone keeps contact with others to a minimum. Great shout Sawmills ???????? We chose our food and were not disappointed. The cheesy (to share) nachos were not only generous in portion size but accompanied by guacamole, sour cream, salsa plus the usual toppings and mountains of cheesy. Being vegetarian can sometimes be a struggle eating out especially during these difficult times so when my vegan chilli arrived I couldn’t have been happier. The presentation and quantity were excellent and the taste outstanding. Hats off to the chef, amazing - thank you. My partner had the burger with all the trimmings and said it was delicious. We wish we had stumbled across your pub earlier into our honeymoon as we would have eaten with you almost every day. Staff very friendly, nothing too much trouble and despite their young years they were all extremely responsible in ensuring that their customers needs were met. Well done all of you 10/10

This is a lovely little chapel, originally built in 1321, with a lighthouse attached which dates back to the Middle Ages - said to be the oldest working lighthouse in the country. The views around are spectacular but, be warned, this is because of the height - it is quite a climb for we older folk! There are steep and not-so-steep paths, but all require fitness and mobility.

These gardens are so well maintained and have such a beautiful display of plants - especially in the summer, they are a delight to visit.The bandstand makes a wonderful centrepiece. You can use one of the many seats or sit on the grass for a picnic. An ideal spot.
