Holiday evenings

Something different from the holiday park

When you’ve done the pool and the beach at Sandy Bay, a short drive along the coast brings you to Knowle and a pub that’s been here since 1926. One Tripadvisor reviewer called us the best pub near Devon Cliffs, and we’d love you to find out why.

Come for a midweek supper from 4pm, a Saturday karaoke night or the famous Sunday roast. The garden is perfect for the kids to let off steam, and the dog is welcome too.
