Excellent customer service. Really helpful advice as we had never used e-bikes before. Great ideas for routes. We will definitely use them again.

June 2023

Great for walking and the views are fantastic.

July 2023

We hired a launch for the day and the booking, service and boat were all first class

September 2023

Now closed and unlikely to reopen

April 2024

Nice little cafe right next to where you catch the ferry to Salcombe Ideal for a coffee or a snack overlooking the bay.

October 2023

Brilliant little cafe. Both guys that served us over the week were friendly, efficient and helpful.

September 2023

Beach cafe with lovely views across the estuary towards Salcombe. Friendly and helpful staff

September 2023

Enjoyed a cuppa and cake here. Outside seating. Dog friendly. Lovely beaches nearby.

July 2023

Great service and coffee.

June 2023

Lovely lunch on a beautiful sunny Sunday lunch in mid September! A welcome drink and food after a dog swim at the beach opposite. Food was lovely, yes a little expensive, however you do pay for the location, which is worth every penny!

September 2022

Excellent service and lovely food. A lifesaver considering there are few options to eat in East Portlemouth.

July 2022

Friendly cup of tea after a walk back from the beach.

June 2022

Yummy Felafel wraps with a great view of the 'goings on' on the water below. It can get busy but we sat and ate outside so it suited me well in these weird times! Not cheap but very nice for a snack.

May 2022

Great little cafe but really expensive!

April 2022

Closed by 10th September!

September 2021

Usually love it here, this year they had closed for the season Sun 5th September!!

September 2021

Very convenient. It would be even better if they could sell a few newspapers so as to avoid making a trip to the other side.

September 2019

lovely icecreams & friendly staff, only downside was that they closed early if it was not busy

July 2018

nice paninis

December 2016

Food and service poor on the one occasion we ate here. Food took along while to arrive and when it did part of the order was wrong. The steak in the steak sandwich was undercooked and tough. Service was poor, cutlery not provided, we weren’t asked if we needed any sauces or asked if everything was ok with our food. Unfortunately that meant we didn’t eat here again during our two week stay.

September 2023

Part of the salcombe holiday ritual, amazing views of you can get a seat outside!

July 2023

Very short trip by Ferry from East Portlemouth Ferry landing £2.30 one way - Aug 2022. Access to ferry is down the steps next to Venus Cafe. Ferry Inn is as you'd expect, right by the Ferry landing - Salcombe side. Good beers and G&T with great views if you're luck enough to get a waterside table as we were.

August 2022

Very disappointed. They did not serve food and stopped serving drinks at 8pm! Absolutely crazy, a pub that doesnt serve drinks in the height of the holiday season doesn't deserve to be in business.

July 2022

Straightforward unfussy food served with a smile. Lovely views of the water.

June 2022

Lovely pub and great food but the most expensive pint ever had!

April 2022

Best view and Gin in the area. we visited every night of our stay

April 2022

Lovely pub with amazing views

November 2021

Expensive drinks and drink choice poor. Lovely food and views. But Used other pubs due to prices and quality of drinks

October 2021

Great situation but mainly closed due to lack of staff

September 2021

Nice views but very overpriced "Pub"

September 2021

We rang and tried to book but a staff member was very abrupt and told us they were only serving food from 12-4pm. Very poor for school holiday season.

August 2021

Amazing location, great you didn’t need to book a table. Lovely outside space and we recommend the prawns! Also staff very welcoming and friendly and pub has good covid safe measures in place

July 2021

We enjoyed having a nice drink on the terrace with excellent views over the water watching sailing boats but a shame we couldn’t get a meal but recognised this was due to the difficult staffing issues due to COVID. Front of house explained the situation well and we were had excellent serving staff.

June 2021

Lunch on a gloriously sunny day with amazing views. Very busy but all socially distanced and felt very safe and well organised. Get there early to get a table for lunch. Fast service. Food was ok but would go there for fantastic location

April 2021

Great local pub with a relaxed atmosphere. Food looked delicious although we just stayed for drinks (twice). very socially distanced and safe. And kids friendly

November 2020

Lovely views, very pleasant waiters and good beer x

October 2020

What a lovely place! The staff were excellent, signing for one way systems was good. Even tho all tables were full (all distanced!) service was great, and the food excellent. Would recommend.

July 2020

Loved the view and relaxing surroundings- pain when downstairs bar closed

September 2019

Love the view and the atmosphere here but I think the food this year was not up to the standard (or variety) of previous years and the prices of drinks are pretty hefty!

July 2019

Excellent food, very friendly accommodating staff

January 2019

Great food at reasonable price and very friendly bar staff

September 2018

Was our first visit to Salcombe and found the Inn by accident. What a find ! A great place to while away an hour or two on a gloriously sunny day with fab views

August 2018

Lovely friendly pub convenient for the ferry

August 2018

Poor and slow service and the food was not great. Had to wait 35 minutes for a sandwich.

July 2018

Wonderful atmosphere and views

May 2018

Really well situated with amazing views. Staff very friendly but Sunday roast was very disappointing as was food the rest of the party had. I don’t think we will return for food again just a drink because of its location.

May 2018

This is our favourite pub in Salcombe. We had a lovely Sunday roast here. Very tasty and hubby had fish and chips later in the week which he really enjoyed. The fish was a whopper. Very filling. The beer garden is a real suntrap and must have the best view in Salcombe. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly too. Our pooch loves it here as she always get a biscuit.

September 2017

Lovely view

July 2017

Great food and friendly service when we visited for breakfast, lovely fresh food and the best fresh pear juice ever...

August 2022

Very friendly

July 2022

Excellent breakfast. Full English of course!

October 2021

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Food freshly cooked and staff very friendly.

September 2021

Always friendly service here. Good coffee. Great menu. Just wish they did more than scramble their eggs.

February 2020

Reasonable food at reasonable (for Salcombe) prices, served reasonably efficiently by staff with a reasonable command of English. It was a shame that they messed up our order, but it was reasonably quickly rectified, with courtesy. Reasonable.

April 2017

Great coffee and cakes

December 2016

Really good food with lovely views of the estuary! Very expensive

July 2023

We had a fabulous take away from Dick and Will's. Very impressed. It would have been even better though if the portions had been slightly larger!

July 2022

Lovely atmosphere and really good food with very friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful setting.

July 2022

We had several takeaways which were delicious. Highly recommend.

July 2022

Best restaurant in Salcombe Excellent food good value for money and location to die for Without doubt the most professionally run eatiery in Salcombe

June 2022

Lovely meal but no drink on presentation of Toad Hall card which needs changing on Toad Hall website

May 2022

We had lovely experiences at this very welcoming restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble for the waiting staff and the food was excellent. So much so we ate there three times! Thank you Dick and Wills. We’ll be back again during our next stay!

October 2021

I ordered 4 meals from the takeaway menu, and all were extremely poor, tasteless, and bland; The burgers were served on soggy buns, the Thai Curry was so runny it was effectively a Prawn Soup, and the fish and chips were totally unappetizing in both appearance, and taste. We also had a reservation in the Restaurant for myself and my Wife for 2 days later. I called the restaurant following our poor takeaway experience to report our disappointment, and that our restaurant booking was now in doubt; their response was a very curt "sorry to hear that, we'll cancel the reservation..." . Having read good reviews previously, I was ready to accept the takeaway was perhaps an aberration (new chef, short staff, food supply issues..?) and give them a second chance. Instead I can only comment on the (very expensive, very poor) takeaway food, and the feeling that this Restaurant has greedily bitten off more than it can chew in continuing a takeaway service when its restaurant is full, and that standards have been sacrificed in the process. Avoid the takeaway at all costs, and be circumspect about the restaurant. Andrew, Glos

September 2021

Always seems to be closed

September 2021

We enjoyed a nice meal here, but it was very expensive and not over welcoming.

August 2021

Excellent !!!!

July 2021

We had a very disappointing takeaway curry. Very expensive and the restaurant did not respond to our criticism. I could not recommend this place.

June 2021

A limited and very expensive menu, indifferent service, crowded tables and ideas above its station make this a place to avoid. Bewilderingly it’s booked out anyhow for the summer already.

June 2021

Lovely location, great food. A tad expensive for small portions.

May 2021

Lovely restaurant, warm welcome and excellent food and service. Busy during peak times, perfect in October ????, highly recommend it

November 2019

A little disappointing this year. Food wasn’t as good, and ambiance was missing in the restaurant. In good weather, it’s a super place to sit outside.

October 2018

We had a great meal here. I have a few dietary requirements and they were more than happy to help.

May 2022

Disappointing meal at Jetty. Overpriced and food not great.

April 2022

By a country mile, the very best place to eat in Salcombe!

September 2021

Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we got first class service and the food was great.

September 2021

Nice ambience, attentive staff and good food.

September 2021

Wonderful views and lovely meal

June 2021

Lovely setting and friendly and efficient service but the menu was limited for a hotel, maybe due to current circumstances, which was a tad disappointing.

September 2020

Quite pricey for very average food and service. Great views of the estuary though.

August 2019

Ive been here a number of times over the last few years - its always been fabulous

November 2018

Rude service and overly long wait for drinks. The pubs in town were much friendlier and welcoming

May 2018

Lovely little beach with with views across the bay to Salcombe

October 2023

Stunning! Great car park, perfect for dogs, at low tide you can walk along the beach to east portlemouth and Venus cafe.

September 2023

Lovely quiet beach, clean beach & sea

July 2023

Lovely place to spend some time.

July 2023

Lovely clean beach with great views

May 2023

Lovely clean beach, easily accessible from our holiday cottage.

July 2022

Bit of a walk but well worth it - spacious beach, fabulous views and shallow waters.

June 2022

Brilliant beach 3 miles from the cottage

June 2022

Gorgeous little Bay close to where we were staying our dog. Loved fetching his ball in and out the water. Very pretty spot.

April 2022

Lovely beach and you can walk to Gara rock from here and along beach to the ferry crossing to salcombe

March 2022

Great beach. Bumpy access road as sand has blown across it. Slightly marred by 1-2 selfish dog owners who have left their calling cards

November 2021

We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on this beautiful beach. Fabulous place ??

September 2021

Fantastic beach one of the best in the area. Have to get to car park (National Trust) very early if you don't want to carry all your stuff to the beach.

September 2021

We attempted to drive to Mill Bay car park- not a good idea in August! No parking spaces, no turning points. We tried another day, parking at Gara Rock and asking down the bridle path. We have a disabled granddaughter, the walk down was manageable but the return walk was much more difficult. Beautiful beach and worth the walk.

September 2021

Lovely, clean, sandy beach in wonderful location with beautiful views and easy access from Salcombe via the East Portlemouth ferry.

August 2021

Lovely beach, clear water

July 2021

Lovely beach for children to play on.

June 2021

Favourite beach going back to my childhood. The road to it was closed due to a land slip in January. Talked to the workmen who said it was due to reopen November 2020.

October 2020

Lovely beach but this year overrun with people arriving by motor boat- so it felt a little worrying for kids to swim out among them,(and frankly it spoilt the view) and engine noise/fumes at the end of the day as everyone left!

September 2020

Wonderful

September 2019

I endorse all of the other favourable comments and emphasise the urgent need to make the lavatories hygienic. In fact all of the public conveniences are anything but convenient.

September 2019

Lovely beach, handy to have little food caravan selling crepes, drinks and ice cream, good quality too. The toilets were disgusting though and should have been cleaned more regularly, also waste bins overflowing.

August 2019

Great place for a day on the beach. Safe and dog friendly

August 2019

Lovely large sandy beach, perfect for young children who want to play in the strem and build dams, or play in the sea without large waves!

July 2019

Great beach

October 2018

A fabulous beach. Especially great fun at low tide for a water loving Labrador. We enjoyed our visits here. We also loved the passenger ferry from here to Salcombe. Beautiful beach.

October 2018

Beautiful beach lovely and clean. Small car park free to N.T. members. Highly recommended. Drawback no immediate café available. Venus café nearest but a trek if not mobile.

September 2018

Lovely beach well worth a visit. Dog friendly as well. Well worth the £7-50 national trust car parking fee.

July 2018

amazing beach, dog friendly, only downside is the toilets near the National Trust hut are very poor

July 2018

Gorgeous, quiet and very clean beach.

June 2023

Stunning bay ,Quiet and secluded

October 2021

Lovely little beach worth the walk or paddle!

July 2021

We didn’t know about this. Whilst appreciating the need to keep things to a minimum, local information like this could have been uploaded digitally. We made 2 attempts to locate a beach without success.

October 2020

The beach and the views were superb

September 2019

A nice sandy beach, crowded on a sunny day. but access quite tricky - a long walk for children if no room in the NT car park, and then a long walk back afterwards.

August 2019

Best reached by direct boat access but easy enough walk from ferry or mill bay car park. Our favourite beach.

August 2018

A bit tricky getting down to the beach but worth it.

September 2023

Super dog friendly beach and the children had a lovely time too, it was pretty busy but it was a bank holiday!

June 2022

VERY PEACEFULL AND NO CROWDS

September 2021

Superb location, excellent service. We were unable to book beforehand but were fortunate to be able to secure a table.

September 2021

Beautiful sandy and pebbly cove... we spent 2 gorgeous days there with our dog! Be prepared for steep climb back to Gara Rock restaurant but worth it!

July 2021

After driving an hour through Devon drizzle we were not impressed to be turned away because we weren't guests. "or you can sit outside and have coffee from the Garavan". Lesson learned: Don't go unless you're booked.

October 2020

We had a beautiful meal with stunning views at Gara Rock. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was divine. We also had spa treatments for the group, who left feeling relaxed and radiant.

September 2020

Lovely secluded beach, dog friendly and easy to get to.

July 2020

Go there for the coastal walk. Fantastic. Stop at the hotel for a coffee, the views are stunning

September 2019

A lovely beach (although quite "weedy"), almost deserted the morning we were there, and well worth the tricky path down and the steep climb back

August 2019

My favourite beach in the country, nothing run of the mill here, lovely views

July 2019

Lovely beach. We arrived early after a steep walk down the cliff path. Had the beach initially to ourselves! Starts to get busier as the day goes on.

July 2018

A wonderful sheltered bay, the sea is so clean and lovely to swim in. Disabled access and dog friendly with the lovely cafe close by.

October 2023

Very nice beach. Very clean.

July 2023

Swim here daily when in Salcombe.

June 2023

A great dog friendly beach. Check the tide times, go at low tide, makes a fabulous beach to look for shells, relax in the sun, and walk in the stuff with your dog.

May 2023

Excellent beach for dogs

May 2023

Nice beach it's great dog friendly beach

May 2023

What a beautiful place to walk to along Coast Road from Salcombe town. The view through the trees to the amazing colour of the water is breathtaking and North Sands is spectacular. We could have sat just people watching all day. The winking prawn is a lovely place for a drink or bite to eat.

July 2022

Lovely beach which is a quick walk down from the property, food and toilets but neither used.

July 2022

Brilliant beach for all the family within walking distance of cottage. Car park and toilets nearby.

May 2022

Fantastic clean beach. Dog friendly

September 2021

Excellent clean and safe dog friendly beach. Very friendly and helpful locals.

May 2021

Lovely clean family friendly beach

July 2020

Lovely beach , easily accessible , particularly with elderly members in the party .

September 2019

North Sands is a wonderful beach great for families, the winking prawn restaurant is great for anything from snacks to a full meal stunning views out to sea

October 2018

Very nice beach for dog lovers and good café.

July 2018

Gorgeous, just stunning! Brilliant beach, fabulous cafe (Winking Prawn) and good priced car park! Love, love, love it!!

August 2017

Superb safe and stunningly picturesque

June 2017

Bit too far to cycle from centre of Salcombe for a swim, but do visit regularly. Used to stay at Bolt Head when it was an hotel, so remember it fondly.

June 2023

The new Harbour hotel at South Sands has wonderful views over the estuary and is worth stopping there for a quick lunch before continuing up to the overbecks

April 2023

North Sands better for beach but South Sands cafe and tractor/ferry are great.

June 2022

Rude staff on ferry - expecting people to wear mask on an outdoor boat trip ! Made to feel like we were an inconvenience- very poor.

August 2021

Great - kids loved the big building Site

August 2020

A beautiful sandy beach that is superb for children as you have to go out quite a way before the water gets deep. Water sports available. Access is via very narrow lanes so be prepared to reverse and parking is very limited.

July 2017
