Fascinating country rambles and spectacular coastal paths

The area is renowned for its walks and close around the Hotel there are many miles of fascinating country rambles and spectacular coastal paths.

Whatever your ambition, level of fitness or time available, there are innumerable walks and scenic spots in the South Sands and Bolt Head Peninsula, with idyllic estuary or seascape views. The National Trust's 'Walks around the Salcombe Estuary' and many other guides are freely available in the hotel.

For more serious walking, perhaps with an extended family or friends, we might arrange a guided walk conducted by Eric Wallis, from the South West Way Association, who is an established guide and storyteller on the region's coastal walks, paths or other coastal foothpath guides.

Within only a few miles, you can also play golf (two 18-hole courses), tennis (all-weather courts), or bowls and go horse riding, sea-fishing, fly-fishing, scuba-diving, surfing or hot-air ballooning.

After such activities aching limbs can always be eased by a dip in the pool and appetites assuaged with a decadent Devonshire Cream Tea.
