Brilliant Day out for the whole family

July 2023

A great day out for families with younger children. Our 3 & 6 year olds loved cuddling the animals and bottle feeding the goats. The big show with Alfie the Juggler was brilliant

June 2023

Great centre for children under 12. Plenty of activities to get involved with and animals to pet and feed. Kept the grandchildren amused for hours

May 2022

Excellent day out with the kids that offers wholesome family fun you don't find in a lot of places.

December 2016

Have visited many times over the last few years. The shop is excellent and the cafe serves lovely food. We will return.

June 2023

More style than substance - looks great but hardly any cider, very disappointing as expected to find lots of different varieties. But mainly a shop selling nice blankets and throws with a small cafe. Lovely outdoor space for tea and cake but that’s not why we went there hence the low score.

June 2022

Good option on a rainy day, the kids loved it and made it look far easier than when we tried to climb up some of the walls! Get there early if possible and you'll have more room to explore.

August 2019

Enjoyed a pleasant lunch here. Would like to have explored the grounds but weather was poor.

August 2023

Had a fantastic Easter Sunday dinner here. Played giant chess in the garden afterwards. Staff really helpful and meal was lovely!

April 2023

Had two lovely evenings at this venue, beautiful setting and staff very friendly. Meals delicious.

June 2022

We had Sunday lunch here. Nice food but we’re very slow in the day. Waited at least 30mins for our starters, which turned up at the same time to our mains. They took our mains away and when we asked to bring them back and take away the starters they disappeared and we had to chase. I think we’re struggling with staff. The food was very nice though.

July 2021

Lovely setting, staff welcoming and friendly, food was delicious.

June 2021

This was the closest restaurant to our house. We had an evening meal there that was enjoyable but perhaps overpriced. The grounds and bird life made it very attractive.

June 2021

We had a lovely meal here, with the food and service being very good. The mill building is full of character, while the grounds are very relaxing and a great place to sit outside with a drink.

August 2019

Lovely grounds and pleasant staff, food expensive for what is served, I think they are trying to be a gastro pub, which they are not.

July 2019

Beautiful inside and out. Gorgeous huge garden with lake and streams. Inside impeccable, large yet cosy.

September 2018

Fabulous pub with friendly staff

October 2023

Lovely meal, friendly and helpful staff

April 2023

Great pub, very friendly staff and although we did not eat there the food being brought out looed excellent.

March 2023

A lovely pub serving excellent food. They managed to squeeze us in on an early Thursday evening so I would strongly recommend booking

August 2022

Excellent meal and very good service

July 2022

We had two delicious meals at the Ship in Ugborough, very friendly and welcoming

July 2022

Excellent food. Excellent location & furnishings. Excellent, welcoming and attentive staff.

September 2021

Nice staff and decent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Main meals were huge - couldn’t manage dessert!

August 2021

Had a marvellous lunch here on 4th November. Very welcoming excellent food. Faultless

November 2020

Not very impressed with the standard of the food. Parking problematic.

September 2019

We had a family meal at the Ship Inn. It was fantastic food with some really novel twists, and for the quality of food we felt the price was good.

September 2019

Very welcoming, great food

October 2018

Good food in nice atmosphere with amicable innkeeper and staff. Would visit again.

August 2023

We had a really nice meal at the Cali inn. The food is simple but beautifully cooked. I had scampi and chips with salad which was freshly made. My husband had steak and kidney pie which was home cooked and my son had a burger which was good quality meat, nice burger bun and made to his specifications (no green stuff!!!). The chef cooks to order so slots and tables are limited which means booking is essential.

June 2023

Good standard, classic pub grub with some interesting and different options on the specials list also. Friendly and helpful owners and nice selection of gins!

August 2022

Really great food and very reasonable

June 2022

Friendly service, decent pub grub

May 2022

We always love to use this pub when we stay on the Colmer Estate, it's a lovely little pub with amazing service and even better food! Very family friendly aswel!

September 2021

Enjoyable and delicious meal. Very accommodating to our rambunctious toddler!

July 2021

female member of staff very welcoming and friendly, male member abrupt, food okay

June 2021

I think we were out of luck when we visited this pub. They were short-staffed and had hardly any of the 'specials' advertised on the menu: no steak and ale pie, no lasagne. We wondered if they had a chef at all! I ended up having a dry and tasteless burger, and my husband with the 'Thai green curry' which bore no comparison to a proper Thai curry. Nice wine though.

June 2021

This was a very pleasant pub with the benefit of being a short walk from our holiday cottage. The food was excellent, as was the service. Staff were friendly and efficient. We would go again.

September 2020

Nice pub, with friendly staff and good food and nice cold drinks

August 2019

Lovely pub and restaurant, staff are very friendly and atmosphere is chilled. Couldn't rate them more.

September 2017

Wow! what a lovely reasonable priced place to have an evening meal. We stayed at Colmer Estate just down the road so well within walking distance. The food was great quality, smaller portions for adults with small appetite and childrens selection too. As a family of four we always found something to eat and staff very friendly and happy to accommodate and cleaniliness was very good. Overall I would give 5 stars and would recommend to book (day or two before we found ok) as gets busy due to popularity.

August 2017

Lovely beach. so quiet at certain times. always different. great for dogs. parking very limited.

May 2022

Amazing spot, so peaceful. Parking the only issue.

June 2021

Nice beach and great walks that lead to it, very few people around in August! Limited parking so you are better off walking there.

August 2019

Glorious beach at the mouth of the Erme. Narrow lanes and very limited parking. No toilets, cafes etc - wonderful! Turning circle for cars just before the beach but expect to have to reverse back up the access lane to allow cars that are leaving to go back. A nightmare on Bank Holidays - parking almost impossible and expect to have to negotiate very tight spaces.

September 2017

Lovely beach but bit of a trek for little ones

April 2017

Fabulously unspoilt and beautiful.

June 2023

Childhood memories and very clean

May 2022

Lovely location for photography and any easy walk from the National Trust car park

April 2022

Beautiful place!

September 2021

Beautiful clean quiet beach , well worth a visit

September 2021

Beautiful cove, first visit. Quite a challenging walk to get there but fascinating to see the slate formations.

August 2021

Perfect swim spot

May 2021

What a wonderful, quiet little haven!

September 2019

A beautiful little cove and fun for dogs and children.

August 2019

You can walk to this secluded cove from the cottage. Probably about 20 mins away, depending on your pace. Plenty of blackberries to eat/collect on route when in season! No facilities at the cove but beautifully unspoilt.

August 2019

Really beautiful secluded beach - great for the dog too!

July 2019

A lovely beach at the end of a beautiful valley. Absolutely perfect for dogs and never busy.

June 2019

Parked in the NT car park at Ringmore and took the 15 min walk down to the beach. Saw a beautiful sunset and had the place to ourselves. Bliss

November 2018

What a fantastic place. So quiet - we had the whole beach to ourselves a lot of the time. Our dogs loved it.

September 2018

A lovely quiet cove, with excellent rock pools at low tide. No sand but the kids enjoy it as an alternative to the massive sandy beaches at Bigbury and Bantham.

September 2018

stunning little beach, very quiet and great for snorkelling

July 2018

Beautiful cove. Very quiet with lots of bird life.

June 2018

Well worth the walk with beautiful views of Burgh island from the coast path. We were the only ones there on a very sunny day in April. Perfect.

April 2018

Simply stunning and well worth the steep (ish) walk down from the National Trust car park at Ringmore. When there - it's hard to imagine the horrors of today's modern world.

September 2017

Gorgeous beach for an evening swim and barbecue. So peaceful and beautiful

June 2017

Cempletely different atmosphere to the rest of the South Hams. Part of a beautiful coastline set amidst class South Hams countryside.

June 2023

Good if you’re staying all day with children but expensive to park, only whole day parking not good if you don’t want to stay a long tome

April 2022

I didn't like it here. I found it a bit tacky. Also on my walk I popped into the Cafe in the morning but had missed their breakfast time which ended at 11.30 and I was there at 11.34 so they refused to serve me toast with coffee! So I walked out! A guy behind me in the queue was left open mouthed and said if I go on to Bigbury I'll get it anytime I want!

September 2021

Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Good fish and chips on the beach in the evening. Wouldn’t spend the day there as holiday park attached and the beach was left absolutely covered in rubbish by the guests ????

September 2019

Lovely, & just a short walk from Bigbury on Sea car park. It also has a fantastic chip shop that does gluten free fish & chips!

August 2019

Lovely beach

April 2017

What an amazing beach, perfect for doggy adventures, love it love it love it, the river beach is especially nice

March 2024

Lovely beach but no dog's allowed

September 2023

Lovely beach and walk over cliffs to Thurlestone. Beautiful views.

July 2023

One of the most beautiful and relaxing places on earth.

June 2023

Worth the £4.50 to park for the afternoon plenty of walking and rock pools to explore, a good wide sandy beach for people with children

April 2022

Great beach particularly at low tide

October 2021

The most extaordinary place and great for kids. Lots to see and do - great sand and very shallow waters so very safe. if you get a chance to go on the water tractor that is great.. and do visit the Pub on the island. Great day out.

August 2021

A lovely beach. £6.50 to park for the day - it's a private estate - but a shame that the owners aren't prepared to put some of the money towards improvements to the toilets - one small sink in each of the men's & women's toilets with a malfunctioning tap is not enough for a beach full of people, children & dogs!

August 2019

Lovely beach for gentle surfing with ice creams, coffee, snacks and pizzas close to the car park.

July 2019

Glorious especially at low tide.

April 2019

Best beach in the South Hams.

July 2018

Can get busy with surfers, but a beautiful place with a wide sandy beach. Lots of room for everyone.

April 2018

Beautiful beach. Nightmare of a road (especially in high season) to get to it. Worth it though when you get there.

July 2017

A short walk (less than a mile) from Thurlestone, this is a stunning beach. Lots of shallow water with sand underfoot, truly amazing.

July 2017

Fantastic sandy beach and so big. My dog loved running around and jumping into the water. Plenty of space for all.

April 2017

Lovely little cove, even on a wet day! Car park expensive for short stay - £6 all day and quite a walk to beach, uphill all the way back.

September 2023

A delightful beach with fabulous views famous from "Penmarric". Accessed via a path from parking in the field (£5). Alternatively via a wider road to the estuary beach. Lots of walking at low tide and even across to the far bank of the estuary, Clearly other people's dogs loved it on their last day off leash (end of April). We were delighted to find the Old School House, now a restaurant and ate outdoors. Expensive for what it was but it appeared to cater for Londoners given the vehicles parked outside!

May 2021

Lovely beach but cafe was being renovated and we were gasping for a cuppa

April 2017
