How far? - 1.7km walk directly, 4km creekside walk

A well-known hostelry, but also off the beaten track, superbly located on Restronguet Creek. The pontoon is the place to eat, and you can arrive by kayak / paddleboard / boat. Good drinks and food.
​
A great place to be able to walk to from the house. There are different routes; the longer scenic route all along the creek sides, or the shorter (but steeper!) route over the hill, or directly on the lanes. Or a combination.
