A Jacobean country house hotel with ancient cedar trees and walled kitchen gardens - luxurious feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. The Folly offers delicious flatbreads and al fresco dining ( no need to book), or make a reservation to the restaurant for a more formal experience. The wine list and cocktails are a must! Eat drink and be merry...and maybe slightly broke but happy for the rest of your life. Top destination!

A favourite amongst locals - an atmospheric olde-worlde pub with a hearty, well priced carvery with good options for veggies too. It gets super busy on Sundays. The banoffee pie is marvellous! Forest walks along the East Hill are a nice way to spend the rest of the afternoon and offers views as far as Dartmoor on a clear day.
