Sundays taste even better after a little exploring. Walk the dog along the Exeter Ship Canal, cycle the Exe Estuary Trail or paddle up to Double Locks with lunch in mind. With local walks on our doorstep, muddy boots and four-legged companions are always welcome.

Then comes the reward: West Country beef, with fluffy Yorkshires, crispy roasties, seasonal veg and plenty of proper gravy. Find a cosy spot by the log fire or settle into our covered, heated garden. A Bloody Mary to start? Now you’re talking.
