Oh good thread!

My parents had their honeymoon in The Talbot, Tregaron and took us there for anniversary meals (ours) in later years.
We have been to a couple on here too ………  but without trawling back through I can't remember  ;D

I would add the Horse and Jockey at Manton, on Rutland Water : good food, good service, lovely area.

Don't know any of them but the 2 Bridge Inns have the nicest settings.  One of the other pubs looks like a small school.  :)

perhaps you could share your favourites even if they are not listed.  It would be helpful to build up a list of recommended places for when we go out and about.

I'll start things off with the Lewinnick Lodge, Newquay http://www.lewinnicklodge.co.uk/

and The Turf Locks, Exminster near Exeter  http://www.turfpub.net/      (only accessible by boat, walking or bike).
