The Cricket Inn  

On England’s South Hams coast in the tiny fishing village of Beesands, The Cricket Inn sits just metres from the sloping beach of Start Bay. Walk to Beesands Beach, Hallsands and Slapton Sands; Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are close by, with Exeter Airport about 47 miles and Totnes rail station around 17 miles.

A historic inn dating back to 1867 with seven New England–style bedrooms and a welcoming village-pub vibe. Rooms have TVs and tea/coffee facilities; en suites include showers, hairdryers and complimentary toiletries. Staff speak English and Russian, and the place is known for real ales and a friendly local crowd.

Free WiFi throughout the inn makes it easy to stay connected while you work or plan local excursions.

Home to a 1 AA Rosette restaurant and a full bar, The Cricket Inn serves food all day in peak season and offers hearty pub fare year-round. Rooms include tea and coffee facilities for quieter mornings.
