Lovely pub offering delicious food and great atmosphere which adds to the charm of Malborough.
June 2023
Great food, reasonably priced and good service. I definitely recommend their Fish and Chips - the batter is simply divine!
August 2022
There are plenty of overpriced places to eat around here which under deliver on quality but happily this isn’t one of them! Great food and friendly staff. Well worth a trip
July 2022
we visited this public house a few times whilst on holiday twice for just drinks and once for drinks and a meal and were warmly welcomed each time reasonably priced
October 2021
Not much to look at but the food was Fantastic! Fully booked every night. Lovely staff.
October 2021

September 2021
Good Local pub, food was nice, and locals are friendly!
September 2021
Really convenient as so close to the cottage. Lovely pub with excellent food. We went a couple of times.
July 2021
We visited this place three times whilst on holiday for evening meals. We were warmly welcomed, the food was excellent and the service was very good.
July 2021
Very disappointed not to receive the 50% Eat Out To Help Out discount that had been advertised. Felt it was deliberately misleading. Waiting staff very nice but food mediocre. Shame there is no competition in the village.
September 2020
Great local pub,friendly atmosphere,amazing home cooked food ????!!
October 2019
We returned to this pub after a few years after turning up there one autumn lunchtime and being fed the best beefburger we had ever eaten by the almost new owner. The lady, who still owns it is passionate about lovely local food, and she served us up with the same lovely lunch. It is a VERY dog friendly place to eat (and, I believe stay) and a very welcoming place in the middle of a very pleasant little village, just a short drive from Hope Cove.
October 2019
We were staying in Malborough and had dinner here a couple of nights before we went home. Lovely food, charming premises and friendly staff. Very dog-friendly. Highly recommended.
May 2019
Excellent dog friendly pub. Landlord and landlady and locals very friendly and welcoming. We ate there several times as best food and reasonably priced within in the area. Even if we didn't stay in Marlborough would definitely go to visit for the food.
May 2019
Great pub, warm welcome and good food
September 2018
Food was excellent and staff worked really hard to provide good service despite being under pressure at busy times.
August 2018
excellent food ,very friendly staff. proper pub
June 2018
Very friendly pub & excellent food.
March 2018
Eaten supper here twice in January / February 2018 - local Dexter steak and chips both times as it was so good & the wine was excellent too. Great atmosphere with the cosy open fire, welcoming staff and comfortable decor / furnishings. Great to see the old place back on form at last.
February 2018
Had a lovely lunch here. We had sandwiches, chips and also the homemade lasagne. Very dog friendly and the staff were an absolute delight, so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely visit again

A quirky beach- shack style café with plenty of inside and outside seating, and a menu brimming with quality local seafood and other tempting options.

The Winking Prawn North Sands, Salcombe TQ8 8LD (T: 01548 842326)
Very enjoyable lunch, food delicious and service was great.
September 2023
Loved this! Sat outside, 7 of us including a baby for whom they provided a highchair. Between us we ordered popcorn shrimps, crab baguettes, crab and prawn salad, scallop salad, winking prawn fries and it was all delicious. Slight annoyance was ordering via an app which took ages and my daughter had to go in and ask to change something and it wasn’t possible. Didn’t spoil our enjoyment though.
July 2023
We love the winking prawn! Cool atmosphere, amazing food can’t beat the seafood platter!
July 2023
Worth a visit, but they should drop the app and go back to a personal service.
July 2023
A great place to eat at any time of the day .Families very welcome a great menu and so handy to pop across to the beach . Staff very helpful and friendly.
July 2023
Love the Winking Prawn. We visited May 2023, shared the fruit de mer, the moment we saw it was a wow moment, looked incredible and tasted great.
May 2023
Love this beach bar never disappointed great food
May 2023
Before making the amazing walk from North Sands to Salcome which is not to be missed, have a bite to eat at The Winking Prawn. Nice staff and food good.
April 2023
Had an excellent meal served by pleasant staff with the added attraction of North Sands
March 2023
Always enjoy the food at the Winking Prawn, we love the location and the fact their dog friendly is a real bonus.
October 2022
Excellent cafe with varied menu and delicious food, all served by helpful and friendly staff
July 2022
Went here several years ago and was a great experience so we decided to call in again on this holiday. They urge you to use an app on your phone to place your order. Its a TAKEAWAY APP ???? REAlly!!!! I'm tech savvy but what a pain it was, then asked for loads of details and I couldn't use Apple pay. Gave up and asked for someone to take our order. £31 for two sandwiches and two coffees. Definitely not value for money. I picked the stake sandwich. Two slices of bread, a bit of chewy steak and several pieces of lettuce. The blue cheese sauce was nice but hey cant go wrong with that. Wouldn't waste your money. Just overpriced for what you get
July 2022
Really lovely during the day. Friendly, good food although a bit expensive. Very disappointed that only bbq in the evening. We would normally eat here a few evenings. There’s no where else in easy walking distance of north sands. Also it was closed by 8 in the evening. Definitely worth a visit for lunch or coffee.
July 2022
Great fun to sit and relax by the sea, people watch and eat fantastic prawns & seafood. Ordering app a bit problematic as some of us didn't have a signal and therefore couldn't connect with bank to pay.
June 2022
Had lunch here twice and it was great - food lovely, nice atmosphere, helpful staff but awful ordering system didn’t help having a poor phone signal!!!!
May 2022
Beautiful location but quite pricy and make sure they have your order correct we ordered a glass of Chilean Sauvignon but received New Zealand which we didn’t realise until bill arrived and cost considerably more. Service was very friendly though so didn’t complain
May 2022
Fantastic lunch at the Winking Prawn. We ate there a few times whilst at the beach. Great coffee too and efficient service
May 2022
Great location but service quite slow. They are so busy you don't get the impression they're that bothered with you!
May 2022
Great little find - lovely food, best hot chocolate and lovely service
April 2022
Fab! Delicious food, lovely surroundings, pleasant staff and cakes to die for!
April 2022
stopped here for coffee and must admit this is a nice money making restauarant
October 2021
Used to visit here often but closed this time ( early October ) even though there were plenty of visitors about.
October 2021
Great location and good food
September 2021
We had lunch twice here during our 7 day holiday in salcombe. We couldn’t fault it, staff very friendly and food was good. Also I liked how they always thoroughly cleaned down the tables after people left.
September 2021
Nice place, expensive but plenty of room and staff. Staff expected everyone to order via the app - most annoying.
August 2021
We couldn’t book only queue for a table. Using their booking app to order is cumbersome but help is at hand if needed. However they have put a system in place that seems to work and we didn’t have to queue for long the 3 times we ate there. The food is limited to barbecued food and presentation to match. Despite this the food was very good and so was the service. We were lucky enough to have a week of good weather and with plenty of tables outside the system worked but I can see this being a problem in cold and wet days because there are limited tables inside.
June 2021
Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Very Covid safe. Dog friendly
May 2021
Wow, what a place! Everywhere around Salcombe is excellent but if you visit just 1 place, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, make it this place! Wonderful food, first class service, quirky decor, great atmosphere and a location to die for - right on North Sands Beach
November 2020
Always a must. Good quality beach cafe.
November 2020
Great place to eat, walking distance (very steep uphill on way home - fortify yourself). Good seafood but not cheap. Lovely to sit outside - not sure how good if the weather not good!
September 2020
Biggest, best value for money crab sandwich around! Great for a sandwich lunch or a treat scallop salad. Super family friendly.
February 2020
OK but overpriced.
October 2019
Lovely location , excellent food choice . Unfortunately the staff let the winking prawn down . Atmosphere behind the serving counter and some members of staff abrupt . Waitress/ waiters could do with being a little happier in their role . We did think maybe a bad day but we visited again and experienced the same situation . Such a shame as when we came 10 years ago and 17 years ago wonderful experience all round .
September 2019
Excellent - we had two lunches and one evening meal here. Thoroughly recommend.
July 2019
Always a must when visiting Salcombe. Wonderful seafood restaurant almost on the beach. Don’t miss it!
June 2018
We visited the Winking Prawn for breakfast on the last day of our holiday, after hearing from numerous friends that we mustn't leave Salcombe without having sampled their legendary breakfast! We were not disappointed. It's perfect for families, as rather than having to choose from a menu and then ask for substitutions for things you don't like, you just choose how you like your eggs, and then help yourself to as much as you want of bacon, sausages, beans, toast, fried potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes and black pudding. It's all great quality and regularly topped up, so we left happy and set up for the day ahead! The service is helpful and friendly and the beachside location is gorgeous, I would love to go back for lunch and dinner next time we're in South Devon. Highly recommended!
May 2018
Great place. Very dog friendly. Good food.
September 2017
Great food. Excellent location. Tiny car park, though, and a bit on the prices side!
August 2017
Great place to look at but it is overpriced. You can't see the sea from there due to the sea wall but it is there so handy if you've been on the beach.
July 2017
We ate here 3 times in all and were made really welcome. A great place if you have dogs who can have a swim on North Sands Beach right opposite! Very fresh and tasty sea-food and one night we enjoyed the BBQ which was great value for money, all swilled down with a bottle or three of their lovely house rose wine. A place to sit and watch the world go by, and great for an evening/afternoon out with friends and/or dogs.
June 2017
Grossly overpriced.
June 2017
Can't believe that this is the first review of this ever popular food outlet. Perfect location on the beach at north sands, plenty to entertain the kids and food is good, decent grub. A must visit if you're in the area.

Lovely airy restaurant with sublime views out to sea, great food and friendly, unpretentious service. We had local mussels and a delicious Provence rose in the warm sunshine - what could be better!
January 2023
We enjoyed a really delicious lunch at the South Sands’ hotel Beachside restaurant. Our table overlooked the beach with beautiful views across the estuary. We had a selection of starters and mains, all choosing fish or seafood. Particularly recommend the mackerel pate, crab linguini and fish of the day – seabass. Service was great; friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, recommending a great wine from the wine list and a mocktail for our designate driver.
January 2023
We had three visits to the South Sands and each time were very pleased with the service, atmosphere and standard. The food is exceptional, fairly expensive but well priced because it is delicious and the staff are so friendly and attentive yet professional. The head waiter remembered us from the previous night and gave us the same table even though we booked over the telephone - he must have remembered our name! Will most definitely dine there again and maybe even stay - the accommodation looked good too.
August 2019
Excellent seafood! Very accommodating staff. The location overlooking the beach is great - ask for a table in the window. Quite pricey but worth it for a treat.
August 2019
Friendly, comfortable and great service every time i ve been (about 8 times)

Soar Mill Cove
(2 miles)
(14)
Nestled between the cliffs in the undulating Devon landscape, Soar Mill Cove is something of a hidden gem, only really accessible on foot. The easiest way reach it by walking down from the Soar Mill Cove Hotel, where there is a car park, or if you’re making a day of your jaunt, why not stroll along the South West Coast Path from Bolberry or even from Salcombe? The beach is a mix of sand and stone and has seen a fair amount of weathering in storms in recent years, which has merely added to its character and charm. There are no facilities in the immediate vicinity unless you wander up to the hotel. Dogs are welcome throughout the year at Soar Mill Cove, and it’s definitely worth the effort to visit!
Lovely walk from Salcombe, peaceful in october
October 2023
Booked a meal here for my sisters birthday on July 4th. Welcome to restaurant was poor and service could have been better a little too hap hazard for a four star hotel. Food quality was not great. The crab starters were not chilled they were Arctic cold as were the plates this reduced the taste and flavour. They may have been frozen! I was pleased when the hotel rang to say they had sourced Lobster which shouldn't have been an issue as the local shops were full of them. Due to the cost we thought we would share one between the two us when it was served it was luke warm and again was tasteless was it fresh or frozen?? My husband had a well down done steak which was pretty poor with a very watery peppercorn sauce. Really! Perhaps the four star chef was on a night off? No mention of my sisters birthday despite reception making a note by the booking. £195 for the 3 of us and so not worth it. The Millbrook Inn, South Pool, Gara Rock, Salcombe, The Cricketers at Beesands all offer superior dining.
July 2023
Fabulous walk down across the fields. To a secluded sandy beach .
July 2023
Beautiful beach only accessible by foot which means it’s also really peaceful with a gorgeous setting
May 2022
I love Soar Mill Cove. We used to go as a young family and stay in a house/cottage called Hamstone which I think isn't there any more. I had a lovely afternoon savoury tea at Soar Mill Cove Hotel. I had booked lunch there in advance and called to say I wouldn't make it from my hike in time and could I possibly have an afternoon tea instead. This was no problem for them and I was even a bit late. They were super friendly and accommodating and their cheese scones and coffee fabulous. Would love to stay there!
September 2021
Beautiful Sandy cove with a fantastic walk from the car park which is more challenging on the way back !
September 2021
Lovely welcome at the hotel. Great cream tea- enormous and lovely friendly staff.
August 2021
Stunning cove the sea is so clear and really peaceful. Not over crowded. Take a drink stop at the soar mill cove Hotel.
June 2021
A great walk to the cove
May 2021
We visited on a windy day so was very quiet, food was lovely but had no atmosphere in the Cafe could do with some music
October 2019
We have visited Soar Cove many times and we love the tranquility. We go out of school holidays and often have the cove all to ourselves amazing .
April 2019
Recent storms have left piles of seaweed and rocks across the beach. The rocks made it impossible to swim and board in with my family.
August 2018
This has been a hidden gem for many years with our children enjoying wonderful swimming and body boarding. I cant explain how disappointed I was to arrive in August 18 to find piles of seaweed but more importantly the damage caused by this years storms. There are rocks all over the beach where you would normally surf or swim. This has ruined a wonderful beach for the time being and will not be returning anytime soon.
August 2018
Lovely secluded cove.
September 2017
North Sands, Salcombe
(2 miles)
(17)
The first beach as you walk along the Cliff Road out of Salcombe, North Sands sits in a valley and is a sandy horseshoe shaped beach that’s expansive at low tide. Thanks to its shape and location, it’s extremely popular in the summer because there’s plenty of space to set up camp for the day with buckets, spades and fishing nets in tow for avid marine biologists and sand castle connoisseurs. The beach has a fresh water stream running through it from the top of the valley, which, aside from providing hours of entertainment for accompanying dogs and a marvellous place to wash the sand off your feet, also means that the beach is largely wet sand, so don’t forget to take something to sit on if you’re heading there for the day. Popular with swimmers, despite the chilly water, North Sands provides a wonderful view out of the mouth of the Salcombe estuary and into the deep blue yonder so, for keen photographers, it’s ideal. If the weather is right then it’s a favourite amongst body boarders or even surfers on choppier days, and it’s a great place to take the paddle boards and kayaks if you happen to have them. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, unlike many of the beaches in the area, there are toilets over the road and there’s a car park with charges from £1 throughout the year. The cherry on top of this beautiful location is The Winking Prawn café and restaurant that’s right next to the beach. Open all year round they serve everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner to coffee, tea and cake, and in the summer they provide a barbecue in the garden overlooking the sea. It is popular though so leave a little time to queue for that Salcombe Dairy honeycomb ice cream in the height of summer!
A wonderful sheltered bay, the sea is so clean and lovely to swim in. Disabled access and dog friendly with the lovely cafe close by.
October 2023
Very nice beach. Very clean.
July 2023
Swim here daily when in Salcombe.
June 2023
A great dog friendly beach. Check the tide times, go at low tide, makes a fabulous beach to look for shells, relax in the sun, and walk in the stuff with your dog.
May 2023
Excellent beach for dogs
May 2023
Nice beach it's great dog friendly beach
May 2023
What a beautiful place to walk to along Coast Road from Salcombe town. The view through the trees to the amazing colour of the water is breathtaking and North Sands is spectacular. We could have sat just people watching all day. The winking prawn is a lovely place for a drink or bite to eat.
July 2022
Lovely beach which is a quick walk down from the property, food and toilets but neither used.

South Sands, Salcombe
(2 miles)

Bit too far to cycle from centre of Salcombe for a swim, but do visit regularly. Used to stay at Bolt Head when it was an hotel, so remember it fondly.
June 2023
The new Harbour hotel at South Sands has wonderful views over the estuary and is worth stopping there for a quick lunch before continuing up to the overbecks
April 2023
North Sands better for beach but South Sands cafe and tractor/ferry are great.
June 2022
Rude staff on ferry - expecting people to wear mask on an outdoor boat trip ! Made to feel like we were an inconvenience- very poor.
August 2021
Great - kids loved the big building Site
August 2020
A beautiful sandy beach that is superb for children as you have to go out quite a way before the water gets deep. Water sports available. Access is via very narrow lanes so be prepared to reverse and parking is very limited.

Accessed either by boat, via a 10-minute walk through the woods from parking at Mill Bay, or a stroll from the Salcombe to East Portlemouth Ferry, Sunny Cove is a sandy beach which, as you might expect, catches the sun throughout the day, weather pending. It’s on the East Portlemouth side of the Salcombe Estuary opposite North Sands beach and Fort Charles, the ruined fortification that was originally constructed during the reign of Henry VIII to defend the Kingsbridge Estuary against French and Spanish Pirates. It’s a relatively gentle spot for swimming and ideal for picnics, lazy summer afternoons, and reaching on kayaks and paddle boards from other nearby beaches as well as being the perfect spot for building sandcastles. That said, the tide can come in quite quickly so make sure you don’t get caught out and be careful of the swell when bringing boats into the beach. Head there for the day in the summer or as a stop off en route to the café at Gara Rock or a longer walk along the coast path towards Prawle Point. Dogs are welcome all year round but keep in mind that there aren’t any facilities in the immediate vicinity (it would be a 10-15-minute walk along wooded footpaths) so take your sandwiches with you!
Gorgeous, quiet and very clean beach.

Stunning bay ,Quiet and secluded
October 2021
Lovely little beach worth the walk or paddle!
July 2021
We didn’t know about this. Whilst appreciating the need to keep things to a minimum, local information like this could have been uploaded digitally. We made 2 attempts to locate a beach without success.
October 2020
The beach and the views were superb
September 2019
A nice sandy beach, crowded on a sunny day. but access quite tricky - a long walk for children if no room in the NT car park, and then a long walk back afterwards.
August 2019
Best reached by direct boat access but easy enough walk from ferry or mill bay car park. Our favourite beach.
August 2018
Mill Bay

Bit of a walk but well worth it - spacious beach, fabulous views and shallow waters.
June 2022
Brilliant beach 3 miles from the cottage
June 2022
Gorgeous little Bay close to where we were staying our dog. Loved fetching his ball in and out the water. Very pretty spot.
April 2022
Lovely beach and you can walk to Gara rock from here and along beach to the ferry crossing to salcombe
March 2022
Great beach. Bumpy access road as sand has blown across it. Slightly marred by 1-2 selfish dog owners who have left their calling cards
November 2021
We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on this beautiful beach. Fabulous place ??
September 2021
Fantastic beach one of the best in the area. Have to get to car park (National Trust) very early if you don't want to carry all your stuff to the beach.
September 2021
We attempted to drive to Mill Bay car park- not a good idea in August! No parking spaces, no turning points. We tried another day, parking at Gara Rock and asking down the bridle path. We have a disabled granddaughter, the walk down was manageable but the return walk was much more difficult. Beautiful beach and worth the walk.
September 2021
Lovely, clean, sandy beach in wonderful location with beautiful views and easy access from Salcombe via the East Portlemouth ferry.
August 2021
Lovely beach, clear water
July 2021
Lovely beach for children to play on.
June 2021
Favourite beach going back to my childhood. The road to it was closed due to a land slip in January. Talked to the workmen who said it was due to reopen November 2020.
October 2020
Lovely beach but this year overrun with people arriving by motor boat- so it felt a little worrying for kids to swim out among them,(and frankly it spoilt the view) and engine noise/fumes at the end of the day as everyone left!
September 2020
Wonderful
September 2019
I endorse all of the other favourable comments and emphasise the urgent need to make the lavatories hygienic. In fact all of the public conveniences are anything but convenient.
September 2019
Lovely beach, handy to have little food caravan selling crepes, drinks and ice cream, good quality too. The toilets were disgusting though and should have been cleaned more regularly, also waste bins overflowing.
August 2019
Great place for a day on the beach. Safe and dog friendly
August 2019
Lovely large sandy beach, perfect for young children who want to play in the strem and build dams, or play in the sea without large waves!
July 2019
Great beach
October 2018
A fabulous beach. Especially great fun at low tide for a water loving Labrador. We enjoyed our visits here. We also loved the passenger ferry from here to Salcombe. Beautiful beach.
October 2018
Beautiful beach lovely and clean. Small car park free to N.T. members. Highly recommended. Drawback no immediate café available. Venus café nearest but a trek if not mobile.
September 2018
Lovely beach well worth a visit. Dog friendly as well. Well worth the £7-50 national trust car parking fee.
July 2018
amazing beach, dog friendly, only downside is the toilets near the National Trust hut are very poor

Another great stay with good weather. Lots of lovely walks along the coastal path, Overbecks is looking lovely. We visited Fast Rabbit farm Gardens near Dartmouth. They are beautiful, lovely garden, 45 acres across a valley and woods. Cod mobile visits every Saturday 4.45 - 5.45 just after the village car park, lovely fish and chips. Thanks for the wine, biscuits etc, we appreciated them. I'm sure we will be back
November 2021
Great house to rent and the owners were brilliant when we had a problem.
October 2021
Another fabulous visit. Even managed two days on the beach at Bantham. Wonderful walks too. We highly recommend the Village Inn at Thurlestone and the Old Inn at Malborough. Fantastic food and service and great value for money. See you again soon.

Had a fantastic week, couldn't have wished for better weather. Lovely property with everything you need. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for the wine.
July 2018
Comfortable and cosy. Lovely area, enjoyed Hope Cove and Thurlestone beaches nearby. Went to Overbecks NT, Saltram NT and Cotehele which is the other side of Plymouth but well worth the drive.
June 2018

June 2018
We loved our stay in Salcombe Fields, it's a super property with a fantastic view to wake up to, also very comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. It was nice and quiet and we were really happy with the location and proximity to everything. Towns, Villages, Beaches, Farm shops, Walks, Pubs and also the Co op just down the road for any last minute essentials. It was also really nice to see Toad Hall sponsoring loads of things in Kingsbridge - the local music festival, sports centre etc. Really nice to see a business so embedded into the local community. ---If only someone could wrestle that old pub from whoever owns it at the bottom of the high street. But easy to look past that as everything else in Kingsbridge is great!
May 2018
A beautifully presented property with a welcoming feel as soon as you enter. Well equipped for a comfortable self catering stay. The area offers countless opportunities for walking in spectacular country and coast, with views that keep on surprising you. There is an easy walk into Salcombe along a designated footpath. In Malborough there are two great pubs, the quirky Royal Oak with Mowgli the dog and the Old Inn which offers very good reasonably priced food. I used the regular bus service into Kingsbridge and Salcombe and look forward to my return visit to this very beautiful part of England
May 2018
Brilliant stay - very clean and comfortable accommodation and a great selection of books and DVDs. Only a 2 minute drive into Salcombe. Warm and cosy with a nice garden for summer.

The Old Inn - Malborough
(Less than a mile)
(20)
A welcoming pub with cosy wood burner and plenty of atmosphere. Enjoy a pint of Jail Ale or Doombar in the bar with the locals or some quality pub food in the dining area.
The Old Inn Higher Town, Malborough TQ7 3RL (T: 01548 561320)
Lovely pub offering delicious food and great atmosphere which adds to the charm of Malborough.
June 2023
Great food, reasonably priced and good service. I definitely recommend their Fish and Chips - the batter is simply divine!
August 2022
There are plenty of overpriced places to eat around here which under deliver on quality but happily this isn’t one of them! Great food and friendly staff. Well worth a trip
July 2022
we visited this public house a few times whilst on holiday twice for just drinks and once for drinks and a meal and were warmly welcomed each time reasonably priced
October 2021
Not much to look at but the food was Fantastic! Fully booked every night. Lovely staff.
October 2021
Lovely food. Great service. Booking essential as it is very popular.
September 2021
Good Local pub, food was nice, and locals are friendly!

Really convenient as so close to the cottage. Lovely pub with excellent food. We went a couple of times.
July 2021
We visited this place three times whilst on holiday for evening meals. We were warmly welcomed, the food was excellent and the service was very good.
July 2021
Very disappointed not to receive the 50% Eat Out To Help Out discount that had been advertised. Felt it was deliberately misleading. Waiting staff very nice but food mediocre. Shame there is no competition in the village.
September 2020
Great local pub,friendly atmosphere,amazing home cooked food ????!!
October 2019
We returned to this pub after a few years after turning up there one autumn lunchtime and being fed the best beefburger we had ever eaten by the almost new owner. The lady, who still owns it is passionate about lovely local food, and she served us up with the same lovely lunch. It is a VERY dog friendly place to eat (and, I believe stay) and a very welcoming place in the middle of a very pleasant little village, just a short drive from Hope Cove.
October 2019
We were staying in Malborough and had dinner here a couple of nights before we went home. Lovely food, charming premises and friendly staff. Very dog-friendly. Highly recommended.
May 2019
Excellent dog friendly pub. Landlord and landlady and locals very friendly and welcoming. We ate there several times as best food and reasonably priced within in the area. Even if we didn't stay in Marlborough would definitely go to visit for the food.
May 2019

March 2018
Eaten supper here twice in January / February 2018 - local Dexter steak and chips both times as it was so good & the wine was excellent too. Great atmosphere with the cosy open fire, welcoming staff and comfortable decor / furnishings. Great to see the old place back on form at last.
February 2018
Had a lovely lunch here. We had sandwiches, chips and also the homemade lasagne. Very dog friendly and the staff were an absolute delight, so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely visit again

The Winking Prawn
(2 miles)
(42)
A quirky beach- shack style café with plenty of inside and outside seating, and a menu brimming with quality local seafood and other tempting options. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as popular daily barbeques in high season. Ice creams, coffees, wines, beers and snacks available throughout the day.
The Winking Prawn North Sands, Salcombe TQ8 8LD (T: 01548 842326)
Very enjoyable lunch, food delicious and service was great.
September 2023
Loved this! Sat outside, 7 of us including a baby for whom they provided a highchair. Between us we ordered popcorn shrimps, crab baguettes, crab and prawn salad, scallop salad, winking prawn fries and it was all delicious. Slight annoyance was ordering via an app which took ages and my daughter had to go in and ask to change something and it wasn’t possible. Didn’t spoil our enjoyment though.
July 2023
We love the winking prawn! Cool atmosphere, amazing food can’t beat the seafood platter!
July 2023
Worth a visit, but they should drop the app and go back to a personal service.
July 2023
A great place to eat at any time of the day .Families very welcome a great menu and so handy to pop across to the beach . Staff very helpful and friendly.
July 2023
Love the Winking Prawn. We visited May 2023, shared the fruit de mer, the moment we saw it was a wow moment, looked incredible and tasted great.
May 2023
Love this beach bar never disappointed great food
May 2023
Before making the amazing walk from North Sands to Salcome which is not to be missed, have a bite to eat at The Winking Prawn. Nice staff and food good.
April 2023
Had an excellent meal served by pleasant staff with the added attraction of North Sands
March 2023
Always enjoy the food at the Winking Prawn, we love the location and the fact their dog friendly is a real bonus.
October 2022
Excellent cafe with varied menu and delicious food, all served by helpful and friendly staff
July 2022
Went here several years ago and was a great experience so we decided to call in again on this holiday. They urge you to use an app on your phone to place your order. Its a TAKEAWAY APP ???? REAlly!!!! I'm tech savvy but what a pain it was, then asked for loads of details and I couldn't use Apple pay. Gave up and asked for someone to take our order. £31 for two sandwiches and two coffees. Definitely not value for money. I picked the stake sandwich. Two slices of bread, a bit of chewy steak and several pieces of lettuce. The blue cheese sauce was nice but hey cant go wrong with that. Wouldn't waste your money. Just overpriced for what you get
July 2022
Really lovely during the day. Friendly, good food although a bit expensive. Very disappointed that only bbq in the evening. We would normally eat here a few evenings. There’s no where else in easy walking distance of north sands. Also it was closed by 8 in the evening. Definitely worth a visit for lunch or coffee.
July 2022
Great fun to sit and relax by the sea, people watch and eat fantastic prawns & seafood. Ordering app a bit problematic as some of us didn't have a signal and therefore couldn't connect with bank to pay.
June 2022
Had lunch here twice and it was great - food lovely, nice atmosphere, helpful staff but awful ordering system didn’t help having a poor phone signal!!!!
May 2022
Beautiful location but quite pricy and make sure they have your order correct we ordered a glass of Chilean Sauvignon but received New Zealand which we didn’t realise until bill arrived and cost considerably more. Service was very friendly though so didn’t complain
May 2022
Fantastic lunch at the Winking Prawn. We ate there a few times whilst at the beach. Great coffee too and efficient service
May 2022
Great location but service quite slow. They are so busy you don't get the impression they're that bothered with you!
May 2022
Great little find - lovely food, best hot chocolate and lovely service
April 2022
Fab! Delicious food, lovely surroundings, pleasant staff and cakes to die for!

stopped here for coffee and must admit this is a nice money making restauarant
October 2021
Used to visit here often but closed this time ( early October ) even though there were plenty of visitors about.
October 2021
Great location and good food
September 2021
We had lunch twice here during our 7 day holiday in salcombe. We couldn’t fault it, staff very friendly and food was good. Also I liked how they always thoroughly cleaned down the tables after people left.
September 2021
Nice place, expensive but plenty of room and staff. Staff expected everyone to order via the app - most annoying.
August 2021
We couldn’t book only queue for a table. Using their booking app to order is cumbersome but help is at hand if needed. However they have put a system in place that seems to work and we didn’t have to queue for long the 3 times we ate there. The food is limited to barbecued food and presentation to match. Despite this the food was very good and so was the service. We were lucky enough to have a week of good weather and with plenty of tables outside the system worked but I can see this being a problem in cold and wet days because there are limited tables inside.
June 2021
Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Very Covid safe. Dog friendly
May 2021
Wow, what a place! Everywhere around Salcombe is excellent but if you visit just 1 place, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, make it this place! Wonderful food, first class service, quirky decor, great atmosphere and a location to die for - right on North Sands Beach
November 2020
Always a must. Good quality beach cafe.
November 2020
Great place to eat, walking distance (very steep uphill on way home - fortify yourself). Good seafood but not cheap. Lovely to sit outside - not sure how good if the weather not good!
September 2020
Biggest, best value for money crab sandwich around! Great for a sandwich lunch or a treat scallop salad. Super family friendly.
February 2020
OK but overpriced.
October 2019
Lovely location , excellent food choice . Unfortunately the staff let the winking prawn down . Atmosphere behind the serving counter and some members of staff abrupt . Waitress/ waiters could do with being a little happier in their role . We did think maybe a bad day but we visited again and experienced the same situation . Such a shame as when we came 10 years ago and 17 years ago wonderful experience all round .
September 2019
Excellent - we had two lunches and one evening meal here. Thoroughly recommend.
July 2019
Always a must when visiting Salcombe. Wonderful seafood restaurant almost on the beach. Don’t miss it!
June 2018
We visited the Winking Prawn for breakfast on the last day of our holiday, after hearing from numerous friends that we mustn't leave Salcombe without having sampled their legendary breakfast! We were not disappointed. It's perfect for families, as rather than having to choose from a menu and then ask for substitutions for things you don't like, you just choose how you like your eggs, and then help yourself to as much as you want of bacon, sausages, beans, toast, fried potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes and black pudding. It's all great quality and regularly topped up, so we left happy and set up for the day ahead! The service is helpful and friendly and the beachside location is gorgeous, I would love to go back for lunch and dinner next time we're in South Devon. Highly recommended!
May 2018
Great place. Very dog friendly. Good food.
September 2017
Great food. Excellent location. Tiny car park, though, and a bit on the prices side!
August 2017
Great place to look at but it is overpriced. You can't see the sea from there due to the sea wall but it is there so handy if you've been on the beach.
July 2017
We ate here 3 times in all and were made really welcome. A great place if you have dogs who can have a swim on North Sands Beach right opposite! Very fresh and tasty sea-food and one night we enjoyed the BBQ which was great value for money, all swilled down with a bottle or three of their lovely house rose wine. A place to sit and watch the world go by, and great for an evening/afternoon out with friends and/or dogs.
June 2017
Grossly overpriced.
June 2017
Can't believe that this is the first review of this ever popular food outlet. Perfect location on the beach at north sands, plenty to entertain the kids and food is good, decent grub. A must visit if you're in the area.

Lovely airy restaurant with sublime views out to sea, great food and friendly, unpretentious service. We had local mussels and a delicious Provence rose in the warm sunshine - what could be better!
January 2023
We enjoyed a really delicious lunch at the South Sands’ hotel Beachside restaurant. Our table overlooked the beach with beautiful views across the estuary. We had a selection of starters and mains, all choosing fish or seafood. Particularly recommend the mackerel pate, crab linguini and fish of the day – seabass. Service was great; friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, recommending a great wine from the wine list and a mocktail for our designate driver.
January 2023
We had three visits to the South Sands and each time were very pleased with the service, atmosphere and standard. The food is exceptional, fairly expensive but well priced because it is delicious and the staff are so friendly and attentive yet professional. The head waiter remembered us from the previous night and gave us the same table even though we booked over the telephone - he must have remembered our name! Will most definitely dine there again and maybe even stay - the accommodation looked good too.
August 2019
Excellent seafood! Very accommodating staff. The location overlooking the beach is great - ask for a table in the window. Quite pricey but worth it for a treat.
August 2019
Friendly, comfortable and great service every time i ve been (about 8 times)

Only went here for drinks but it was a beautiful hotel.we sat outside overlooking the beach ,what a spot! Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Soar Mill Cove
(2 miles)
(14)
Nestled between the cliffs in the undulating Devon landscape, Soar Mill Cove is something of a hidden gem, only really accessible on foot. The easiest way reach it by walking down from the Soar Mill Cove Hotel, where there is a car park, or if you’re making a day of your jaunt, why not stroll along the South West Coast Path from Bolberry or even from Salcombe? The beach is a mix of sand and stone and has seen a fair amount of weathering in storms in recent years, which has merely added to its character and charm. There are no facilities in the immediate vicinity unless you wander up to the hotel. Dogs are welcome throughout the year at Soar Mill Cove, and it’s definitely worth the effort to visit!
Lovely walk from Salcombe, peaceful in october
October 2023
Booked a meal here for my sisters birthday on July 4th. Welcome to restaurant was poor and service could have been better a little too hap hazard for a four star hotel. Food quality was not great. The crab starters were not chilled they were Arctic cold as were the plates this reduced the taste and flavour. They may have been frozen! I was pleased when the hotel rang to say they had sourced Lobster which shouldn't have been an issue as the local shops were full of them. Due to the cost we thought we would share one between the two us when it was served it was luke warm and again was tasteless was it fresh or frozen?? My husband had a well down done steak which was pretty poor with a very watery peppercorn sauce. Really! Perhaps the four star chef was on a night off? No mention of my sisters birthday despite reception making a note by the booking. £195 for the 3 of us and so not worth it. The Millbrook Inn, South Pool, Gara Rock, Salcombe, The Cricketers at Beesands all offer superior dining.
July 2023
Fabulous walk down across the fields. To a secluded sandy beach .
July 2023
Beautiful beach only accessible by foot which means it’s also really peaceful with a gorgeous setting
May 2022
I love Soar Mill Cove. We used to go as a young family and stay in a house/cottage called Hamstone which I think isn't there any more. I had a lovely afternoon savoury tea at Soar Mill Cove Hotel. I had booked lunch there in advance and called to say I wouldn't make it from my hike in time and could I possibly have an afternoon tea instead. This was no problem for them and I was even a bit late. They were super friendly and accommodating and their cheese scones and coffee fabulous. Would love to stay there!
September 2021
Beautiful Sandy cove with a fantastic walk from the car park which is more challenging on the way back !
September 2021
Lovely welcome at the hotel. Great cream tea- enormous and lovely friendly staff.
August 2021
Stunning cove the sea is so clear and really peaceful. Not over crowded. Take a drink stop at the soar mill cove Hotel.
June 2021
A great walk to the cove
May 2021
We visited on a windy day so was very quiet, food was lovely but had no atmosphere in the Cafe could do with some music
October 2019
We have visited Soar Cove many times and we love the tranquility. We go out of school holidays and often have the cove all to ourselves amazing .
April 2019
Recent storms have left piles of seaweed and rocks across the beach. The rocks made it impossible to swim and board in with my family.
August 2018
This has been a hidden gem for many years with our children enjoying wonderful swimming and body boarding. I cant explain how disappointed I was to arrive in August 18 to find piles of seaweed but more importantly the damage caused by this years storms. There are rocks all over the beach where you would normally surf or swim. This has ruined a wonderful beach for the time being and will not be returning anytime soon.
August 2018
Lovely secluded cove.

North Sands, Salcombe
(2 miles)
(17)
The first beach as you walk along the Cliff Road out of Salcombe, North Sands sits in a valley and is a sandy horseshoe shaped beach that’s expansive at low tide. Thanks to its shape and location, it’s extremely popular in the summer because there’s plenty of space to set up camp for the day with buckets, spades and fishing nets in tow for avid marine biologists and sand castle connoisseurs. The beach has a fresh water stream running through it from the top of the valley, which, aside from providing hours of entertainment for accompanying dogs and a marvellous place to wash the sand off your feet, also means that the beach is largely wet sand, so don’t forget to take something to sit on if you’re heading there for the day. Popular with swimmers, despite the chilly water, North Sands provides a wonderful view out of the mouth of the Salcombe estuary and into the deep blue yonder so, for keen photographers, it’s ideal. If the weather is right then it’s a favourite amongst body boarders or even surfers on choppier days, and it’s a great place to take the paddle boards and kayaks if you happen to have them. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, unlike many of the beaches in the area, there are toilets over the road and there’s a car park with charges from £1 throughout the year. The cherry on top of this beautiful location is The Winking Prawn café and restaurant that’s right next to the beach. Open all year round they serve everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner to coffee, tea and cake, and in the summer they provide a barbecue in the garden overlooking the sea. It is popular though so leave a little time to queue for that Salcombe Dairy honeycomb ice cream in the height of summer!
A wonderful sheltered bay, the sea is so clean and lovely to swim in. Disabled access and dog friendly with the lovely cafe close by.
October 2023
Very nice beach. Very clean.
July 2023
Swim here daily when in Salcombe.
June 2023
A great dog friendly beach. Check the tide times, go at low tide, makes a fabulous beach to look for shells, relax in the sun, and walk in the stuff with your dog.
May 2023
Excellent beach for dogs
May 2023
Nice beach it's great dog friendly beach
May 2023
What a beautiful place to walk to along Coast Road from Salcombe town. The view through the trees to the amazing colour of the water is breathtaking and North Sands is spectacular. We could have sat just people watching all day. The winking prawn is a lovely place for a drink or bite to eat.
July 2022
Lovely beach which is a quick walk down from the property, food and toilets but neither used.

South Sands, Salcombe
(2 miles)

Bit too far to cycle from centre of Salcombe for a swim, but do visit regularly. Used to stay at Bolt Head when it was an hotel, so remember it fondly.
June 2023
The new Harbour hotel at South Sands has wonderful views over the estuary and is worth stopping there for a quick lunch before continuing up to the overbecks
April 2023
North Sands better for beach but South Sands cafe and tractor/ferry are great.
June 2022
Rude staff on ferry - expecting people to wear mask on an outdoor boat trip ! Made to feel like we were an inconvenience- very poor.
August 2021
Great - kids loved the big building Site
August 2020
A beautiful sandy beach that is superb for children as you have to go out quite a way before the water gets deep. Water sports available. Access is via very narrow lanes so be prepared to reverse and parking is very limited.
July 2017
Sunny Cove
(2 miles)
(7)
Accessed either by boat, via a 10-minute walk through the woods from parking at Mill Bay, or a stroll from the Salcombe to East Portlemouth Ferry, Sunny Cove is a sandy beach which, as you might expect, catches the sun throughout the day, weather pending. It’s on the East Portlemouth side of the Salcombe Estuary opposite North Sands beach and Fort Charles, the ruined fortification that was originally constructed during the reign of Henry VIII to defend the Kingsbridge Estuary against French and Spanish Pirates. It’s a relatively gentle spot for swimming and ideal for picnics, lazy summer afternoons, and reaching on kayaks and paddle boards from other nearby beaches as well as being the perfect spot for building sandcastles. That said, the tide can come in quite quickly so make sure you don’t get caught out and be careful of the swell when bringing boats into the beach. Head there for the day in the summer or as a stop off en route to the café at Gara Rock or a longer walk along the coast path towards Prawle Point. Dogs are welcome all year round but keep in mind that there aren’t any facilities in the immediate vicinity (it would be a 10-15-minute walk along wooded footpaths) so take your sandwiches with you!
Gorgeous, quiet and very clean beach.
June 2023
Stunning bay ,Quiet and secluded
October 2021
Lovely little beach worth the walk or paddle!
July 2021
We didn’t know about this. Whilst appreciating the need to keep things to a minimum, local information like this could have been uploaded digitally. We made 2 attempts to locate a beach without success.
October 2020
The beach and the views were superb
September 2019
A nice sandy beach, crowded on a sunny day. but access quite tricky - a long walk for children if no room in the NT car park, and then a long walk back afterwards.
August 2019
Best reached by direct boat access but easy enough walk from ferry or mill bay car park. Our favourite beach.
August 2018

June 2022
Brilliant beach 3 miles from the cottage
June 2022
Gorgeous little Bay close to where we were staying our dog. Loved fetching his ball in and out the water. Very pretty spot.
April 2022
Lovely beach and you can walk to Gara rock from here and along beach to the ferry crossing to salcombe
March 2022
Great beach. Bumpy access road as sand has blown across it. Slightly marred by 1-2 selfish dog owners who have left their calling cards
November 2021
We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on this beautiful beach. Fabulous place ??
September 2021
Fantastic beach one of the best in the area. Have to get to car park (National Trust) very early if you don't want to carry all your stuff to the beach.
September 2021
We attempted to drive to Mill Bay car park- not a good idea in August! No parking spaces, no turning points. We tried another day, parking at Gara Rock and asking down the bridle path. We have a disabled granddaughter, the walk down was manageable but the return walk was much more difficult. Beautiful beach and worth the walk.
September 2021
Lovely, clean, sandy beach in wonderful location with beautiful views and easy access from Salcombe via the East Portlemouth ferry.
August 2021
Lovely beach, clear water
July 2021
Lovely beach for children to play on.
June 2021
Favourite beach going back to my childhood. The road to it was closed due to a land slip in January. Talked to the workmen who said it was due to reopen November 2020.
October 2020
Lovely beach but this year overrun with people arriving by motor boat- so it felt a little worrying for kids to swim out among them,(and frankly it spoilt the view) and engine noise/fumes at the end of the day as everyone left!
September 2020
Wonderful
September 2019
I endorse all of the other favourable comments and emphasise the urgent need to make the lavatories hygienic. In fact all of the public conveniences are anything but convenient.
September 2019
Lovely beach, handy to have little food caravan selling crepes, drinks and ice cream, good quality too. The toilets were disgusting though and should have been cleaned more regularly, also waste bins overflowing.
August 2019
Great place for a day on the beach. Safe and dog friendly
August 2019
Lovely large sandy beach, perfect for young children who want to play in the strem and build dams, or play in the sea without large waves!
July 2019
Great beach
October 2018
A fabulous beach. Especially great fun at low tide for a water loving Labrador. We enjoyed our visits here. We also loved the passenger ferry from here to Salcombe. Beautiful beach.
October 2018
Beautiful beach lovely and clean. Small car park free to N.T. members. Highly recommended. Drawback no immediate café available. Venus café nearest but a trek if not mobile.
September 2018
Lovely beach well worth a visit. Dog friendly as well. Well worth the £7-50 national trust car parking fee.
July 2018
amazing beach, dog friendly, only downside is the toilets near the National Trust hut are very poor
