Simply the best Wetherspoon pub you’ll ever visit. With its open air roof terrace overlooking the promenade and coastline where in summer you’ll see spectacular sunsets and it’s stylish and spacious interior restaurant area. The staff here are extremely helpful and pleasant and they serve outstanding food for extremely reasonable prices. Drink selection second to none.

If a countryside experience is what you're looking for then this place is a must! Sunday lunch in the Coach House is a fabulous affair and and Afternoon Tea is perfect too. The daytime and evening menu is brilliant and on some evenings there is live music. The gardens are gorgeous and make a delightful backdrop for a lunchtime or afternoon cooler!

This is your local! A lovely family run pub full of character and traditional features. The pub is only a few paces from the house and during the summer there is outside seating along with the cosy indoor seating. They serve pub grub and also run a vibrant music scene with regular Friday and Saturday events along with quiz nights and other one offs.

Beach days

Simply the best sandy beach ever! Only 10 to 15 mins by car but in high season traffic can be bad so set off very early (9 am) or leave until later an head over early afternoon stay late and catch the best sunset you’ll ever see. Barricane Beach is a small cove further along the esplanade where you will find a fabulous little beach cafe serving all sorts including great home baked cakes. In the evening from 5 until 7 they serve amazing Sri Lankan curries. Woolacombe village has a superb selection of local shops selling everything! Bar Electric is a great stop for a sundowner and serves excellent food
