The best restaurants in Coly Valley East Devon South West

I found the Bear Bread & Bakery on a booking site. I needed to get away, I was burnt out to f"£". I felt welcome & at home. The William Morris room is perfect, a writing desk by the window where I journaled, THE most conformable bed I have ever slept in. The morning, which I don't do well was filled with chat from B&B ers & locals picking up their coffee, even I was happy to join in. On my second night, I slept for 10 hours, so comfortable was the bed The breakfast was generous to the point one does not need anything until supper. Thank you SO much xx

A beautiful spot on the riverside with lazy Sunday music playing. A good vibe going on. Very friendly service, can't do enough, even gave me a plaster! Tea and coffee tasty. Comfy seats. Very pleasant atmosphere.

This is out 3rd visit to Sandymouth. We spent Christmas week here and also came in Feb half term. The accommodation is lovely the place was warm even in a storm and also clean The staff couldn't be more helpful.. The food in the cafe/restaurant is what you would expect at the price. Portions sizes are good. The pool is small and the changing facilities need some love but in the winter it's quiet and we often had the pool practically to ourselves. Heads up though in the Feb half term the sessions booked up so quickly we didn't get one swim so worth booking asap. Also we booked several kids activities. Some are for groups and in the dead of winter don't run if there isn't a big enough group but those that did run were fun and gave me (single parent) a break while I sat close by and drank a coffee. The staff are enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy running the sessions even if there was only my child. I certainly couldn't imagine enjoying this site at the height of the summer, even in Feb it was as busy as I can manage. But if you don't mind that then it's a great option for a family holiday.

On holiday in Colyton this week and we had fish and chips + mushy peas on two occasions. Both times were excellent, so thoroughly recommended.

Superb service great ambiance for a bar. We had Cobb salads and their crab cheese melt thingie. Always a great place.

Pulled in here in on the way back from a holiday. Was treated to a friendly lunch for the family. We tucked into a range of different sandwiches. These were well made with high quality ingredients. The layout of the cafe was spacious and felt newly set up. The sign of quality was the number of regulars in for their lunch. Will be calling in again.

Stopped on the off chance due to road works and have to say what a find! Plenty of parking available the staff were very friendly and helpful and the meals we had were delicious and were generous sized portions. The menu is so extensive it’s hard to decide what to eat! The cafe itself was really pleasant to sit in and even though it was very busy the staff were attentive. The background music was also very pleasant and not too loud. Their toilets were immaculate. We were certainly very impressed by our visit and we will definitely be back.

Friendly small tea room in the centre of Colton athe menu is limited with a breakfast selection.afew hot meals and soup Parking nearby and the ancient church virtually next door

Huge disappointment. Be warned! What is on offer is nothing like what is shown on website. Had to wait three quarters on an hour and then had to prompt for menu. Young staff very pleasant but untrained for restaurant work. Had to ask for condiments and table water. Had three different mains and all equally mediocre. Would not recommend. Very different from the divine food service and bon homie of the previous owners.

Return visit after last years stay. Still the same warm welcome and the facilities are clean and tidy. Pam kindly gave us the same pitch as last year which was nice.

A super little cafe with a wide menu and very friendly staff. The tram station is picture perfect and always looks lovely whenever we visit. Recommended.

Excellent service and friendly staff. The menu is great and the service is excellent. We enjoy popping in and grabbing a bite to eat here.

Aunque un tranquilo restaurante Lillie la comida y el personal es genial. Es fácil de encontrar y de acceso. También tienen habitaciones que conozco son encantadores.

My family and I went here for our Christmas get together. We had a large mix of food and everyone enjoyed it I personally had a rump steak with blue cheese and was very happy with it. The new owners are very friendly and attentive And considering new to this pub were great all around

Stunning pub with amazing food, wine selection, and the owners and staff are absolutely wonderful. It's our favourite place to visit. Twinkly lights, cosy fire in the winter, and live music and garden parties in the summer. Perfect 👌
