Bigbury-on-sea, and surrounding area.
Also, looking for a decent family orientated boozer to go to after for a bit of bait and a couple of pints, so again any recommendations would be gratefully received. We're staying in the area so somewhere within a reasonable drive would be ideal.
Cheers.

Just off the coast at Bigbury is the small Burgh Island. You can walk across at low tide, or travel by elevated tractor at high water. On the island is a hotel and restaurant of great repute: I believe the building is worth seeing alone for its 1930s Art Deco design and fittings. Try Googling 'Burgh Island Hotel' - and have a great day!0

Cheers. Had a look at that on trip advisor and it seems the pub - the pilchard - may have "gone downhill" somewhat. Wil probably go and have a look though.Viewfinder said:Just off the coast at Bigbury is the small Burgh Island. You can walk across at low tide, or travel by elevated tractor at high water.

Is that the island where Agatha Christie lived in a cottage next the hotel? The island and hotel formed the basis for a couple of her books, I believe.Off_it said:

You've got it. I haven't been to Burgh Island but it sounds like an interesting place.March51 said:

We rented of of the houses overlooking Burgh island and the Pichard pub is pretty decent. I would recommend having 1 or two beers there and order a baguette as well.0
