Well, we think we've said it all, however there are a few further details which may be helpful. Firstly, the lovely places to eat and drink close by. The Bridge Inn at Michaelchurch Escley (recently mentioned in Conde Nast Traveller Magazine) is about 3 miles from the cottage and is in a quiet, attractive spot by the Escley Brook. It's a great place for a chilled local cider by the stream, and you'll need to book in advance if you're planning to eat there as it is very popular. The Bull's Head in Craswall is a newly renovated, 17th Century Drover's Inn steeped in history which re-opened its doors in November 2021 after a lengthy absence from the community. Featured in The Guardian's 10 of the Best Renovated Foodie Pubs a few months ago, its menu focuses on farm-to-table produce. Again, you will need to book in advance for dining (open Thursday to Sunday only at the moment). It's a scenic 2.6 mile walk (or drive) along the lane from the cottage to the Bull's Head. The Crown Inn in Longtown (3 miles) and The Pandy Inn in Dorstone (8 miles) are traditional country pubs serving a good range of hearty meals. Longtown also has a fabulous, well-equipped local store which stocks everything you may need while you stay with us.
Most major supermarkets will deliver to Craswall so you can shop on line and have your food delivered despite the rural location.
