Nearby pub

Situated in the heart of this ancient market town, call in for great traditional pub food and real ale. Dogs are welcome and there's a childrens menu available.

Nearby beach

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Just along the coast from the busy resort of Bude, Widemouth is a long, long stretch of sand backed by high cliffs. Unusual rock formations on the beach are a magnet for climbers while the Atlantic surf brings bodyboarders, kayakers and surfers here in their hundreds. Widemouth Bay is home to a scattering of houses, pubs, cafes and restaurants but there remains a definitive sense of having strayed off the beaten path here. There is a section open to dogs all year round, loads of parking and several surf schools.

Excellent

Widemouth bay is lovely, we've stayed near here a few times and it never disappoints.

Nearby town

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Launceston is almost entirely contained within its ancient original walls and has some unique architecture, including the imposing castle ruins that peer over the town.

Launceston is an upbeat town with a fascinating history and good range of shops. I recommend the castle, if you don't mind heights!

Straight out of Thomas the Tank Engine, this is a fun-filled excursion whatever the weather. Learn about the little locomotives, or just sit back and enjoy ride.

A quirky little train journey! We were glamping at Western Meadows (near New Mill Farm Park) and caught the quaint little steam train from the Farm Park into the town of Launceston for a look around. The children loved the 2 mile journey through countryside, it really did feel like we were stepping back in time.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Traditional farmhouse food, homecooked on the Aga. Good vegetarian and gluten-free options are usually available here.

A warm welcome

Beautiful venue with lovely food served in the delightful barn or cottage gardens. Take time to explore the many outbuildings with antiques, craft spaces and local artisan products. A gem of a place

A great little find

We stopped here for afternoon tea and cake. The have a lovely selection of fresh food, cake and ice cream. There is a lovely terrace and a little garden with views over the valley. A great place for a quick bite to eat.

Perfect for lunch

My favourite place for lunch. All local and organic, with their own home grown vegetables and salads. Beautiful patchwork on display with a shop where you can buy materials and gifts. Book for one of Jo's patchwork courses if you're here when one is on.

The impressive keep sits high above the town, with a display charting its 1,000 years of history.

A lovely ruin!

It's worth climbing to the top of the keep (which sits on a huge mound) for the lovely views. The grounds are a good place to picnic (having bought a pasty at the baker's in the town).

Bar and restaurant in a Grade II listed building, parts of which date back to the 1600s.

Lovely pub / restaurant

Nice friendly pub where we had dinner once and went for drinks a couple of times. Small cosy pub area. Food was very nice. Staff are very friendly. We felt welcome. Quiz night on Tuesdays twice a month.

One of the South West's largest family run garden centres. Pick up some delicious local produce here. There's an amazing choice of locally-made cakes including Cornish saffron cakes and, of course, scones, with clotted cream and jam to go with them. Cheese lovers will love the Cornish and Devon cheeses and there's plenty of quality fresh meat, produced on local farms.

More than just a garden centre, Homeleigh is worth a visit just for the view across to Dartmoor and surrounding countryside! The cafe serves good food for lunches and teas too. Easy parking and disabled access. Two elderly golden retrievers are often seen wandering around, very much part of this successful family enterprise.
