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.

Paint N Spin

Reviewed By T6448LBrichardm

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.

This afternoon we have been to Tunnels Beaches, first carved out in 1823 by Welsh miners, it took 2 years for the tunnels to be carved out, and they also built 3 tidal bathing pools 2 for the ladies and 1 for the men, sadly due to the strong tides only one pool remains,great place to spend a couple of hours
