Leisure options include cycling, fishing, darts, and tennis, while the South Devon Railway steam train passes nearby. The property is 5 km from Totnes Littlehempston and 50 km from Exeter International Airport.

The restaurant serves locally sourced Modern British dishes, including fresh seafood and Sunday roasts.
Activities like cycling, fishing, and darts are available on-site or nearby.
Free WiFi is accessible throughout the property.
