You can dine in style in the Grand Ballroom or hunker down in the cosy old Pilchard inn at this extraordinary Art Deco hotel on a tidal island just a sea tractor ride from the 21st century.

With produce sourced from its own farm and organic market garden, and beautifully styled and lavishly equipped bedrooms spread across cottages and above the village shop, this is a truly exceptional gastropub, a great place for foodies.

Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines has created a country house hotel for the 21st century, a foodie destination and place of soft-spoken luxury, in a Georgian mansion overlooking the Exe estuary.

Run by a local family, this cosy whitewashed pub and restaurant with rooms has a well-deserved reputation for creative cooking.

A single-track lane winds its way to this Tudor-style country house, in gardens and woodland, on the banks of the Teign, on the edge of Dartmoor national

The individually styled rooms are very appealing, but it is the food above all, whether for vegans or omnivores, that sets this gastropub apart.
