Now, the real star of the show is where this place sits. Warcombe Farm is perched on a hill in Mortehoe, which means two things: stunning views and a cardiovascular workout just getting to the pub. Walking down to Woolacombe beach from the site feels like a gentle saunter, and your legs immediately forget the return journey is basically a stairmaster from a nightmare.

But honestly, that hill is a feature, not a bug. It gives you a righteous excuse to collapse into a deckchair and crack open a cider, claiming you’ve already done your workout for the day. And when you finally make it to the beach—one of the best in the UK, by the way—the sand is so golden and vast you’ll instantly forgive your aching calves.
The Local Vibe: Pubs and Pasties
The village of Mortehoe itself is charming in that way only a Devon coastal village can be. It’s got a proper pub, the Grampus Inn, where the locals will look at you, decide you’re not a total menace, and let you enjoy your pint in peace. The atmosphere is the opposite of a city club; it’s more like sitting in a friendly dragon’s living room.
You can also walk to the Mortehoe Village Shop for a pasty that will make you question every snack you’ve eaten for the last decade. It’s the kind of flaky, buttery, potato-filled joy that requires a nap afterward. Pro tip: buy two, because the seagulls in this area have union training and will mug you for the first one.
