A stay at Lanscombe House is a special treat so why not enjoy discovering the many local restaurants we have in the area. Torbay has a huge range of restaurants from the simple and familiar to some of the finest in the West. Paul and Lindzie own Rose Cottage in our village centre. It’s a favourite for an inexpensive al fresco lunch or a delicious cream tea. They have a seasonal piano player and stunning views across the village. Weavers Cottage Tearooms is another cosy spot. The famous Lutyens designed Drum Inn (Vintage Inns) restaurant is just round the corner - Brian and his family will welcome you - ideal for the first night but it would be a shame not to sample some of the hundreds of restaurants what Torbay has to offer. If you are looking for something a little more special, there are at least two restaurants that shouldn’t be missed. The Church House Inn is in the next village of Marldon where Julian has created a truly excellent restaurant. This grade 2 listed pub was the first pub in Devon to be listed in the Michelin Pub Guide and has now been voted Devons Best Country Pub for 2007 by readers of Devon Life magazine. The other treat for fish lovers is Number Seven Fish Bistro down at the harbour, they specialise in locally caught seafood. I don’t recall anyone ever saying that it was anything but excellent! For a bit of a gourmet experience then The Elephant again down at the harbour has a Michelin Star (and you can enjoy champagne by the glass as an aperitif). At the other end of the spectrum Hanburys in Babbacombe has won ‘best fish and chip shop in the south west’ 6 times and is world famous! Those are some of the special treats but rest assured whatever your budget and taste there are a fantastic range of restaurants we can recommend in the local area.
