I'll stay on me own
Hi Strongers,
Me and the wife had a drinking holiday down there but based in Exeter.
If you have got a four year old then Paignton would fit the bill has there is quite a bit for kids to do there but as for drinking this was the worst town we went to and we visited quite a few towns in this area.
There was a decent train service along the coast from Exeter to Plymouth,Newton Abbot had quite a few pubs, Brixham is a very nice seaside town with a decent amount of pubs.
We had a quick visit to Dawlish which is also on the coast about 6 pubs there,Teignmouth is a really nice town by the sea and there was a decent amount of pubs there.
We found Exeter a bit short on pubs but it is a nice enough city.
So after all that rambling i think the best options are either Dawlish for a quiet holiday or Paignton for a more brash type of holiday.
I have photographed all pubs visited down there and all beers drunk but this was back in 2001 so would probably not be much help.

Cheers Al,
Had a look at Brixham and it looks like somewhere I would enjoy, but the beach is shingle so only a day trip would be on the cards. So, with Brixham to the south and Torquay to the north we've booked a week in Paignton - Not far from the train station!
Thanks for the input.

Maybe a little to far to sneak off to, and probably little chance of local transport, but I'm still a little aggrieved that the Tom Cobley in Spreyton was closed when I was last out West. You could maybe check the Topsham's Bridge if passing close by on way, there or back...

We'll pass not far from the Bridge but I'm not sure that I'll be able to talk the misses into veering off the M5 so that I can go to the pub!

What about north Devon such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe or Exmoor National Park?
Waes hael!
