Exmoor and surrounds, West Somerset, UK.

When a friend who enjoys food recommends you a hotel in the middle of nowhere you know it must be decent (thanks Pilky). So, on our transit journey to our last destination in England we decided to drive by the Pig Hotel at Coombe. We decided to eat at the Folly as we hadn't organised ourselves enough to book into the main house. The Folly was a great spot to sit and enjoy both nature and things coming out of the pizza oven!
Two fabulously dry ciders!
What we would call podpłomki in Poland. Here they call them oven flat breads or something, they were great on a pretty chilly day.

The main house smoking room, well maybe not smoking room but there was smoke there from the fireplace.
The garden
Roads in Devon are pretty cool.
Newenham Abbey



Not that I am a church person but this is the cutest church in Selworthy.
Each pew had its own little cushion.
I see a little house there....
What is this at the bottom of the garden? Is is the Periwinkle tearooms?!
The English tea and milk, cute mini bottle.
You have to try some things anew, how about a Welsh Rarebit?
Devonshire tea, is it cream then jam or jam then cream?

You can't get enough of sitting and listening to the birds here.
The serenity of Exmoor National Park
Portlock Weir.
Anthropomorphism is when you see human faces in things....
The photo might not be crystal clear, but the taste of the stout in the Ship Inn at Portlock Weir was perfect.

What a nice weekend get-away! The Pig has been on my foodie list too. We recently tried to go to the one in Lydenhurst but was totally booked. :)

Joy, I am positive you two would have a great time there. It is quite posh, well for we common folk, but lovely at the same time. We were lucky to be there at the right time as they had two spaces at the time both available (formal and informal) but we chose the less formal version ;)
