Walking breaks

The Hotel is conveniently located near to the popular South West Coast Path, and the nearby section includes towering cliffs, scenic coves, unspoint fishing villages such as Hope Cove and the yachting haven of Salcombe. Burgh Island, of Agatha Christie fame, is also a short walk away.

We can assist you with planning everything from a one day walk to longer treks covering more sections of the path A wonderful 3 day walk that we recommend is first day a drop-off at Aveton Gifford walking along the River Avon to Bantham and then back to the Hotel via Hope Cove.Second day Bolt Tail to Salcombe, and third day Salcombe (via ferry) to Slapton via Gara Rock, East Prawle and the ruins of the village of Hallsands, which was swept away one stormy night....

The pick-up and take-home land-rover can be used for dropping-off at the start of a planned walk, to deliver freshly prepared picnics en-route and to pick-up afterwards.
