Restaurant
This place is a restaurant and nowhere to sit if you just want to go for a quiet drink without food. Meals looked nice but only visited once.
May 2024
Sunday lunch
Lovely character pub. Excellent food and staff.
July 2023
Hoop hoop hooray
Great food. Atmosphere a little subdued but hardly matters with food this good
Nearby beach
Two miles of sand stretching into the distance backed by a pebble ridge which divides the beach from Northam Burrows Country Park, a magnificent stretch of salt marsh, grassland and dunes.
October 2024
Beautiful
Had a lovely day out here. Weather was nice and sunny for October. Beach was fantastic, bit rocky to get onto the sands but once on the sands dogs loved it. Lots of people with dogs on the beach. Nice walk along the front too and a couple of bars and eating places but a lot were shut as it’s probably end of season.
September 2024
A step back in time
It’s seen better days, quite dated, feels like you’ve gone back to the seventies. Most of it was closed (late September), but the amusement arcades were open and provided us with an hours entertainment. Not sure I’d want to sit in the beach, it looked very pebbly but maybe if the sun was shining I might feel differently.
August 2022
Clean
Parking at this beach is £5 a day to pay for the toll road. From the car park, it is a short walk to the sandy, lifeguard patrolled beach. It is clean with decent waves for jumping and/or body boarding . Be warned that the tide comes in quickly and there is a warning tannoy giving all beachgoers 20 minutes to pack up and clear off! There is a good choice of places for lunch
May 2022
Beautiful beach
A beautiful, slightly windswept beach. Brilliant for surfing or a walk, with a lovely beach cafe in the dunes. Although the access from a private toll road comes with a (fair) price, this is much easier than getting to the beach by parking in the town (which makes a slightly run-down and shabby impression). Great beach to spend half a day with a picnic!

Gorgeous restaurant serving lovely food. Stunning views while you eat.

Awesome beach for surfers/bodyboarders!
This beach is incredible...2 miles of the most incredible surf I've ever seen and however busy it gets it never seems crowded.
September 2011
Felt like I was a kid again
The beach is huge....3miles of it! Although it's a sandy beach, the sand never actually dried out during our visit. But that was great for sandcastle building. Plenty of surfers make use of the beach and the rock pools are fantastic. Great fish and chip shop just up from the beach. Parking is easy. Definitely worth a visit.
September 2010
Vast expanses of golden sand
Westward Ho! beach is a 'Blue Flag' beach, offering vast expanses of golden sand. Good for surfing, it is patrolled by lifeguards and is one of the safest in the area. An added attraction for youngsters are the many rock pools to explore at low tide.
Nearby walk
A lovely walk (described on the Web site) which takes you through woodland and along footpaths to the coastal path and stunning views of Clovelly.
Nearby town
A beautiful, unspoilt fishing village enveloped in green countryside. From Clovelly it is easy to take a boat trip across to Lundy Island, a pristine little wilderness just off the coast. Unusually, this village is privately owned and has a modest entrance fee to help maintain its upkeep.
October 2024
Picturesque
Absolutely beautiful little village . Lovely friendly staff in the visitors centre where you can sit and watch the world go by if you can’t walk down into the village down the steep hill. The hill is very very steep and is made from pebbles so in places hard to walk on but with it once you are at the bottom. Nice little harbour to walk around and a pebble beach too.
September 2024
Expensive, gruelling and poor food
I get that this is a privately owned village and money needs to be made but it’s still very pricey for what you get. Also, please be aware, that unless you are nimble footed this is not an enjoyable walk down (and back) to the harbour. I’m a fairly fit mid 60 year old and I found it quite gruelling. Also I can’t recommend eating at the Red Lion in the harbour. The food was mediocre at best, served in plastic containers with wooden utensils. The bar staff were more concerned with listening to the “MTV sound of the 80’s” program on the TV than attending to punters. It was so loud that we couldn’t conduct a conversation and people were moving away from the TV as it was so very loud. It’s a shame but then they have a captive clientele so I guess they don’t really care that much.
August 2024
What a climb!
This place is like no other. You are rewarded once at the bottom. The waterfall was beautiful and although the beach is rocky, we enjoyed our time there. Gutted the penny squash machine was out of action in the shop. There is a great selection of food at the Tourist Centre restaurant. The donkeys were in action and drawing a crowd.
July 2024
Clovelly
Fabulous day out, your entry fee allows you to come back for a second visit, excellent food in the Red Lion at the bottom, also lovely Ice Cream in the kiosk next door, land rover taxi to take you back up, but if you can manage the walk it's an achievement!.
August 2021
Clovelly
We walked to Clovelly which was a beautiful walk , Clovelly was really busy and you can pre book the pub in the village . Its a great place to visit but was so crowded .
September 2011
Historical but a bit of a rip off?
We visited Clovelly as they were promoting their crab and lobster festival. Great we thought - some lovely local produce to sample. We joined a large queue to pay £5.95 to get in to the village. That was a surprise. We walked the half-mile down an extremely steep and cobbled slope to the quay which had a handful of tiny stalls selling cupcakes, stir fry and local crafts. No lovely local crab or lobster in sight. It's a tiny place so became packed very quickly and made it difficult to get around. We left pretty quickly.
August 2011
Wonderful day out, fantastic cliff top walks with stunning views. Village was delightful - well worth the climb! Good cream teas and lovely harbour.

Set deep in the north Devon countryside, The Rosemoor estate was once the home of Lady Anne Palmer. Lady Anne developed a passion for plants when she met noted plantsman Colllingwood Ingram while recuperating from measles in Spain. Over the next 30 years, she travelled the world to collect specimens for her garden, which she gave to the Royal Horticultural Society in 1988. The estate now comprises 65 acres of land, which includes rose gardens, a winter garden, a fruit and vegetable garden, a formal garden, woodlands, and many stream and lakeside plantings, making Rosemoor an enchanting place to visit whatever the season.

Beautiful gardens
Amazing place to visit even in the rain!! Beautiful gardens, credit to the staff! We had lunch in the restaurant which was amazing too - well worth the visit!!
October 2023
Fabulous place, outstanding gardens
A return visit for us.
An exceptional day out if you love nature and gardens. We were lucky our visit coincided with the Festival of Apples in October. Beautiful place and everything offered is of the highest standard.
July 2023
Fanstastic
Spent the best part of the day exploring the walks around the estate and through the fabulous formal and informal gardens, plenty of seating in the grounds to appreciate the flowers, plants and trees, choice of refreshment options from snacks to restaurant, a very good shop and parking very easy, worth the effort to visit.
August 2022
Gorgeous day out
As an RHS member and regular visit to Hyde Hall I’ve been keen to visit the other gardens so when on holiday nearby, a visit to Rosemoor was a must. It is truly fabulous, we visited on a beautiful, sunny, summer day so we saw it at it’s best but I can see how there is interest whatever time of year you visit.
The staff are friendly and we received a great welcome and explanation of the layout when we arrived, such a lovely touch.
The garden is split into two parts, Lady Anne’s garden which has beautiful trees and planting best seen at a gentle stroll and the more formal gardens laid our directly near the entrance which are also stunning. The cool garden was gorgeous especially on a hot day.

The garden is absolutely gorgeous and very well looked after. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant had great locally sourced food. A great day out for adults and children.

Roses Galore!
The rose collection - one of the largest in the West Country - is very impressive. In full bloom in the summer, the scent of over 2,000 flowers is quite sensational. The Rose Weekend, held in June, was very informative, with advice on growing your own, as well as walks and activities for children.
A retro delight, to take tea back in the forties and fifties close to the seafront at Westward Ho!. A traditional tearoom with cakes and light bites to be washed down with a variety of teas and coffee. This lovely little cafe was voted the best for 2011/2012 in the North Devon Food Awards.
September 2024
Brilliant
Really lovely, old fashioned, tea shoppe. We had afternoon tea for four at 11am in the morning (the only slot available). If you want to go please be sure to book weeks in advance. Plenty of savoury rolls (cheese, chicken, ham, tuna), cheese savoury scones, plain scones with jam and clotted cream and about six different home made cakes. We did our best but ended up taking most of the cakes away with us to eat for tea (and breakfast the next day). £20 per head and well worth it

Tea on the green
Nice little cafe but beware of the Bueno Hazelnut slice,
July 2024
Mahoosive scones
You only need one scone on their delicious cream tea. My favourite cake is malteser cake. Never lets me down.
June 2019
You need to feel hungry before you call in here.
Fantastic small retro café serving hot and cold light meals along with cream teas to die for. Sit outside looking at the sea and town green on inside and wallow in an era gone by. Food excellent, portions enormous and staff were efficient and friendly.
August 2015
Still fantastic!
We first found Tea on the Green in 2012, and whenever we've been anywhere close (that means within a 1 and half hour drive!!) we've always spent the day at Westward Ho! and included something to eat here. The lunches are great, with excellent choices (you won't go hungry) and the cakes are magnificent. It's always busy though, so you have to be prepared to wait or maybe sit outside.
September 2014
The cream teas really are to die for!
September 2012
A visit a must if you are in Westward Ho
What a lovely little place to stop for tea and cake. Although it was next to where we were staying whatever time of day we walked past it was always full and we determined to try it during our week in Westward Ho so waited across the road until a table outside was empty and ran across before another lucky person was able to sample their lovely food and surroundings. Just amazing.
April 2012
WOW!!!! The MOST incredible tea shop!
You MUST visit this tea shop! From the outside it's easy to miss or walk past as its not big but once inside it is just fantastic. all decor and music is 1950's and there is so much attention to detail especially the lovely crockery. But best of all the menu is amazing. Cakes are delicious and such a great choice of drinks and food. I'd recommend booking a table to avoid any disappointment!
Visit this unspoiled beach and fall in love with the breathtaking views. If you head to Northcott Mouth Beach at low tide you may be able to see the remnants of the steamship ‘Belem’ which ran aground here in 1917. At high tide, you can take in the stunning panoramas from the clifftops surrounding the beach. A secluded haven as it is, there are no facilities nearby.
September 2021
Amazing beach!
Amazing dog friendly beach. Very clean and scenery amazing. Lifeguards present so makes you feel safe. There is the Rustic Tearooms nearby serving hot food and drinks. Only problem , no toilets!
August 2021
Excellent beach
A wonderful beach and much quieter than Bude. An added bonus is the Rustic Tea Garden which is a lovely cafe just behind the beach. You can eat in their lovely garden or take away back to the beach. Great hot dogs, jacket potatoes and very yummy cakes.
The Farmer's Arms is the historic local pub in Devon's 'village with two names'. The original name, Woolfardisworthy, was a bit of a tongue twister, so locals shortened it to Woolsery; one village, two names, one great pub. Stop by and visit the resident ghost.

Fabulous
Great place beautiful food and great staff

Amazing pub!
Really lovely pub. We heard how popular this pub gets so booked in advance, also being aware it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We were not disappointed. Great service and delicious home cooked food - I recommend the Shepherds Pie! Our dog was welcome and afterwards we enjoyed a coffee and game of Scrabble upstairs in the Games Room. Really handy being able to walk here from Straw Cottage. The fish and chips next door smelt so good that we went back the next day and they were incredible! Highly recommended.
October 2021
Great food and friendly staff
Booked online a week ahead for Saturday lunch as all other meal times were fully booked and now understand why as the quality was excellent - one of the best meals we have had for a long time. Was refurbished 3 years ago to a very high standard, waiting staff are very friendly and familiar with the menu - nothing too much trouble for them.
September 2021
Sadly closed.
The pub was not open when we visited, it is only open for certain days of the week we later discovered, very disappointed!!
July 2021
Lovely
July 2021. This is a lovely pub/restaurant which has been fully refurbished. It gets very busy so booking required if you want to eat. We did - and it's worth it!
March 2013
Now closed
This pub unfortunately closed in October 2012

Historic pub
Really good historic pub (thatched) with great food and interior.

Lots to do here, from feeding lambs and watching sheepdog trials to pony and tractor rides.
October 2014
Much, much more than sheep!
There really is something for the whole family at The Big Sheep. Sheep racing, dog trials, sheep shearing, train rides, swan pedaloes, horse riding, pedal go karts, trampolines, indoor soft play with giant slides, outdoor laser tag all year round, archery tag in the summer, giant swing, great cafe and seasonal events.....!! We never get bored of this adventure park. Its reasonably priced, great fun and well organised.
