Stoney and often windy, Salthouse beach is a local favourite of mine best enjoyed on a crisp wintery morning, then off to the Dun Cow pub for an excellent roast lunch and a glass of wine.

Great food, wine and local ales. Walkable from the cottage if you enjoy a hike !! Definitely a nice cycle ride.

Sunday lunch is a must on a cold winters day.
My faves are roast beef, chilli crab linguini, and local crab salad. Yummy.

Posh Fish and Chips..... apparently very good, we have not tried it ourselves. We prefer Albert's Fish and Chips opposite the cottage, take away and eat in the cottage garden.
The chippy near Byfords is also very good.

The finest local produce is delivered via a skilfully prepared tasting menu where deep flavours come together perfectly and no detail is overlooked – and the team of chefs present and explain the dishes personally.
