3 of us enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon tea at this pretty corn mill near Ilfracombe bay. One friend is diabetic and I am vegan. The staff were very knowledgeable about different dietary needs. My freshly baked vegan cheese scone was delicious, the nicest scone I have ever had. There was a choice of savoury or sweet (24 hours notice required for vegan). There was a choice of cheese or houmous with it. I chose cheese with onion marmalade for my scone and houmous and chutney for my sandwich. The bread was lovely. After, there was a choice of 2 vegan cakes( raspberry and coconut or cherry and chocolate), both delicious. It was served with a huge pot of tea. There was plenty to eat , the food was delicious ( much is baked with their own milled flour) and it was very reasonably priced.

Kids loved this Simple idea. You choose a piece of paper, canvass or clock and put it on a turnable then drop paint on it and spin it so the paint spreads outwards. They have every colour you can think of and the results were impressive. My kids are 6 and 10 and both were kept entertained for over half hour while they made their masterpiece. Because of the ingenious design of the turntables their is no splatter on clothes hands or anything else you can think of so don't worry about getting in a mess. The man and lady who run the shop work great as hosts and are extremely engaging with the kids and speak to them on their level. Well worth a visit and great value.

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!

I Was very sceptical about visiting as it’s tucked away and looks small. But once inside it’s like a tardis. Excellent museum lots of local exhibits and very interesting. Staff friendly and helpful. Well worth the small fee. Perfect on a wet day.
