Tania's Guidebook
Food scene
A short walk to The Alma Inn meaning you can have a drink and not have to worry about getting a taxi home. Evenings can get busy so I would recommend booking if you want food.

A longer, but beautiful scenic walk to The Beehive Inn. Food is good and staff are friendly. More of a ‘locals’ bar and our favourite.
Weekends get very busy so booking is highly recommended.
Weekends are open from 12 and weekdays open at 4pm. Dog friendly.

A great place for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee.
Lucy (owner) is a friend and has done exceptionally well in building her business through such difficult times during covid. However, due to the gorgeous food, amazing service and great surroundings, Lucy has made it a huge success.
Not a bad walk which is all downhill, but remember - your walk home will be uphill 😂
Dog friendly
Tell Lucy you are staying at my Airbnb and that I have sent you.

Great place for an authentic curry.
No matter what day of the week it is, you will always see this restaurant buzzing. Very popular with the locals but cash only.
