The Eddystone Inn Heybrook Bay. A short walk along the coast path then up a short hill and pub is at the top. Glorious views and a great big patio where you can sit. Good food at reasonable prices. A fun place for families and dogs. Highly recomended.
Located in the village of Down Thomas 1 mile away. It has exceptionally good food and because of this it is recommended that you book a table.

A lovely welcoming Village Pub with an excellent A La Carte Menu which includes Pub Favourites. The pub is in Yealmpton which is a beautiful South Hams village a few miles outside Plymouth in Devon. They have 2 lovely gardens for sunnier times, but the stylish village pub also offers real comfort inside especially with our log fire and sofas. They are dog friendly, and have disabled access and facilities as well as children's highchairs and changing room. They also have a large Car Park. Easy to find. Mother Hubbards thatched cottage is just across the St. Great food!

Regular visitor here and it never fails to hit the spot which is why , I guess, it is always so popular. A nice range of interesting drinks and a menu that always leaves you wanting to try three or four dishes at the very least. Food is consistently tasty and well presented and staff friendly and eager to please. Two tips - beware on Sunday evenings it is steak and pizza night only (All good but not the full menu) and secondly always book ahead. No surprise it is very popular!

Sightseeing

The Elizabethan House is a rare surviving example of Plymouth's history. This is a great little house museum that shows how life would have been for a middle class merchant family in Plymouth during the Elizabethan era. It isn't very large, but is certainly worth the time. Check the webpage though before visiting, as the last time I was I Plymouth, it was closed for necessary repairs. T: 01752 304774.
