If you’re planning a day out in Dartmoor National Park or maybe visiting National Trust’s Lydford Gorge, we’d highly recommend The Dartmoor Inn, for lunch or dinner – it’s a wonderful restaurant, ideal for foodies, open Wednesday to Sunday, great menu one of our personal favourites. Booking essential.
Seaton Beach is dog friendly all year round, it’s a 40 minutes drive from The Old Station and we love nothing better than putting the dogs in the car and heading to the beach for a dog walk before visiting this wonderful restaurant, It’s one of our local favourites, we recommend ordering a drink, sitting back and enjoying the view… and then savouring the fabulous food. Breakfast and Sunday lunch is superb here too.

Highly recommended for a distillery tour
The Black Friar’s building dates back to the early 1400s. The most intact part of the distillery is the refectory room, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431. It’s one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth, and protected as a precious national monument. Not least because it’s now also an important centre of excellence for gin cocktail making
We also recommend a visit to the atmospheric Refectory Bar for a cocktail
and lunch or dinner in the Barbican Kitchen at Plymouth Gin | www.barbicankitchen.com
A small theatre on two levels with the benefit of a great Thai restaurant housed within so you can enjoy a sensibly priced decent Thai meal and show all in one location.
The upper and lower areas of the theatre hold a broad range of events everything from music, poetry, comedy, theatre and quiz nights. It’s a local hidden gem
If you’re visiting the Rame Peninsula we highly recommend this lovely pub as a stop off for a drink and a snack or lunch/dinner. It has a great menu and the food is top notch

Fabulous seafood restaurant in Looe with an award winning chef, highly recommended
This is one of our favourite pubs to visit for a snack and a drink or lunch or dinner. It’s become very well known now, so it’s pretty much impossible to book (good luck if you try) but don’t be deterred as it’s well worth a visit out of season or just turn up and try your luck at any time. It has a great menu and we highly recommend the food and pretty much everything about this wonderful pub and location. In the summer months, if you can’t get in, it’s worth just ordering a drink and standing outside for the view alone
The Eden Project’s home near St Austell in Cornwall used to be a barren landscape – a former clay mine with no soil or plants, this huge crater is now transformed into a beautiful global garden, which sets the stage for an extraordinary day out where you’ll rediscover the natural world as you’ve never experienced it before.
