Fun and safety at the beach As we moved to the Drawing Room, we asked if we needed to pay any additions and we were then given the full bill. The lady (I'm assuming the manager) did not realise we had a celebration dinner voucher. Bit embarrassing for both ourselves and her, as when I booked I informed them of this with the voucher number and was also asked to bring the voucher along. The food was absolutely delicious, super fresh, vibrant and imaginatively prepared, with several dishes that come out one or two at a time, so a nice surprise as to what dish is coming next. Also, great to be able to come to a restaurant where the veg is the star of the show!Of course, Devon boasts countless interesting and beautiful natural attractions, including England’s highest waterfall and the underground home of the oldest known human settlement in Britain. Make sure to take in all of the stunning natural scenery by jumping on a boat, train or tramand enjoy the landscape whilst travelling between attractions!
