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.

My girlfriend and I visited the North Devon Shooting Ground, as part of a birthday activity day. Neither of us having tried clay pigeon shooting before and it was on our list to try. We were both nervous, but so looked after by one of the staff members. He took us out and gave us one to one tuition. He was brilliant, very patient and encouraging. We were thrilled to hit lots of clays and can't wait to try it again soon. Would highly recommend.

Dice And A Slice

Reviewed By Kdc198

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.

Tunnels Beaches

Reviewed By Bearessa - Khao Lak, Thailand

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
