Cary Arms

Beamed ceilings, original stone walls, planked floors, books and boardgames. The informal mood is achieved with effortless style. Sympathetic to it’s proud heritage, the welcoming interior combines clean lines with a neutral coastal palette. Prop up the bar for as long as you like. Bring your dog along after a long coastal walk. Bracing sea air, grown up adventures, fishing from the pier. Your appetite will sharpen itself.

Inside, big windows show off views across the bay. Portland Bill, fifty miles away, is visible on clear days. A crackling log fire and the lure of a proper pint makes it feel special and secluded here. Otter Ale and Bays Gold are just two of the highlights. Unpretentious friendly service sets the tone.

Gastro pub food cooked simply on the south Devon coast. The watchwords in the kitchen are fresh­ness and seasonality, underpinned by a deep rooted respect for the sur­rounding waters and pastures. Our restaurants daily changing menu reflects Devon coast and Devon country in equal measure. Expect superb Devon beef, Lyme Bay lobster and line caught seafood. Food to rival the very best restaurants in south Devon.

Hungry walkers, families, friends and travelling food­ies - this is a place where even a pint of prawns is done with panache. Dine outdoors in the warmer months and watch south Devon life in the bay unfold. There's a communal BBQ to cook a choice of local Devon sausages just the way you like them and a fabulous outdoor pizza oven. In cooler weather, choose something comforting and slowly cooked from the daily changing blackboard.

Absolute comfort and contemporary seaside chic. Sea facing, en-suite rooms with a fresh and light barefoot beach ambience. Italian bed linen, bespoke fabrics and all the ele­ments expected of a boutique bolt hole. Sunbathe on a private terrace overhanging the crystal waters then dine al fresco in the terraced gardens that tumble down to the beach.

With plenty of coastal character and echoes of New England, international designer Kathleen Fraser has captured the flavour of effortless seaside living. Traditional striped ticking whispers memories of days by the seashore and elegant furniture, spacious bathrooms filled with Elemis Spa goodies give a taste of the detail and comfort you can expect. You really can’t imagine the sunrises until you get here. Never more than a window away from a fabulous view of the bay, a few days here, even just a night, and you’ll feel good all over.

We also welcome dogs here and have two dog friendly rooms on the ground floor, 'Rear Admiral' and 'Commander', both with their own sea-facing balconies.

The Cary Arms in Devon is perfectly situated right on the South Devon Coastal Path and are just metres from a year-round dog friendly beach, so your dog will love it here!  When you bring your dog, we welcome them with their own dog bed and bowl for their stay.
