Our waitress was very good but sadly they didn’t have any olives available. I ordered the ravioli which wasn’t cooked through in my opinion. The waitress refunded us for a glass of wine which was kind but I wouldn’t rush back to the pub

About the restaurant
Beach House is a laid back, foodie destination set right here on a stunning stretch of Devon coast line at South Milton Sands. Take a seat and relax, just a stones throw from the sand, with all the sizzling prawns and lobster you could wish for, accompanied by a bottle of La Nina rosé. Enjoy the sunset, cocktail in hand, with views over the sea and Thurlestone rock.

About the restaurant
Set at the end of a tranquil tidal creek on the Salcombe estuary, the Millbrook Inn is a hidden haven for those who enjoy good food, great wine and a pint of local ale.

The Millbrook Inn has a long-standing reputation as one of Devon's best gastro pubs. We take great care to source the finest local ingredients from land and sea, including from our own farm, and we prepare them simply and with love.

Our home - the idyllic village of South Pool – is easy to reach from Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Totnes. When the tide is right, it’s only a short boat trip from Salcombe.

Whether by our homely fire or our babbling brook, we look forward to welcoming you to the Millbrook Inn very soon.
