The village has a well-known pub and a bar/restaurant and is within walking distance of a farm shop with a butchery, deli, plant centre, brewery and cafe restaurant. The village is almost equi-distant between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, each of which has their own extensive and delightful range of services and amenities including a primary and secondary schools.

Description - Ley View dates back to 1894, originally built as a farm workers cottage for the nearby Widdicombe estate. Later a B & B and now a fabulous, extended family home.
