Providing you have to walk for 30 minutes to reach your beach, often down an old smugglers' path flanked by tall hedges alive with birdsong and wildflowers, at the end you should find, if you have chosen well, a little sandy cove surrounded by rocks and cliffs, with barely a soul in sight.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18347 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18254
Get the Teignmouth ferry to Shaldon, walk up to the ness, go through the smuggler's tunnel on to the beach. Return to Teignmouth on the ferry, and continue walking along the river beach, you will pass a row of original fisherman's cottages, and come to the Ship Inn, buy a pint and watch the sun setting over the moors.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13459
The house is now very comfortable, beautifully redecorated, and the breakfast is great. The new owners are going to start cooking in the evenings; at the moment they will cook for people who are staying if they want to eat in.

There is fantastic country all around. The house is on The Two Moors Way, and so wonderful for walkers. Castle Drogo a very interesting place to visit. Exeter, Taunton, Totnes are all within easy reach.

Before the new owners took over at the beginning of this year, the Old Inn was in a very bad state. It was totally mismanaged, dirty, dark, depressing, and could possibly suffer initially from a bad reputation. I hope not because they deserve to succeed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13459 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13311
The accommodation provided was good enough but the home cooking is marvellous! He is a very enthusiastic guide - we probably wouldn't have seen half of what we did on Dartmoor had we just pottered around struggling to read maps or following some other prescribed routes.

He drives you back as well - thank God!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13311 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13310 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13310 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7558 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7558 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2203 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2203
