Surrounding Area
You will find a wealth of distractions right on our doorstep. Right next door is the famous (and award-winning) Tunnels Beaches, with their licensed Cafe Blue Bar, safe bathing and rock-pools.
The town centre, with all its entertainment facilities, numerous restaurants and nightlife, is just a 5-minute walk away, as is Ilfracombe's picturesque harbour. Here you may catch a boat and go on a deep sea fishing trip; take a day trip to South Wales or Lundy Island; or just cruise along the Exmoor coast.
A quick walk up the hill and you're on the spectacular cliff top walk along the Torrs to Lee, Mortehoe and Woolacombe, part of the South West Coastal Path. Lynton and Lynmouth, in the opposite direction along the Coastal Path, is a day's walk for the brave.
The spectacular scenery of Exmoor, one of the top Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the British Isles, with its walks, picnic areas and country pubs, is 20-minutes away by car. Barnstaple, North Devon's largest town, is a short drive or bus ride from Ilfracombe.
The miles of golden, sandy beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands are within easy reach. These are among the top surfing beaches in the world, and are also safe for family bathing.
There is a wide range of attractions for all ages and interests in close proximity, including Watermouth Castle, Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and Exmoor Zoo, to name but a few.
Transport
You can travel to North Devon by exiting from the M5 at junction 27 (Tiverton). Take the A361 heading for Barnstaple. Staying on the A361, pass through Barnstaple and Braunton and head towards Ilfracombe. At Mullacott Cross roundabout go straight over, descending towards Ilfracombe. At the traffic lights turn left and follow the road to the next set of lights. Turn left again at these lights and Westaway is directly in front of you on the corner of the road.

We serve a three course dinner by arrangement @ £20.00 per person - but we are within an easy walk of so many excellent restaurants and pubs offering a wide choice of menu and prices that you may wish to dine out.
