The Lorna Doone Arms is within walking distance just beyond the packhorse bridge in Malmsmead. They serve meals (eat in or take away), teas/coffees and is also licensed so you can enjoy a couple of drinks with a meal too. Please note that they usually close around 5-6 pm, and sometimes closed more during the winter season (October to Easter) We suggest you ring them in advance to check if they are open in the winter season (tel: 01598 741450). Beyond Malmsmead, there are a couple of choices within 5-10 minutes in the car; The Staghunters Inn in Brendon, and The Rockford Inn. Lynton and Lynmouth also have a good selection of pubs and restaurants (approx 6 miles away), as does Porlock (also approx 6 miles).
