Turf
A laid back waterside inn (l,d; ££)
The Turf sits on a slim spit of land sandwiched between the broad River Exe and the Exeter Canal.
The geography gives it a castaway feel – you can’t drive here. Instead you have to walk from the nearest car parks 1–3 miles away or hop on the Topsham to Turf Ferry.
Local and home-grown ingredients dot the menu – best enjoyed if you’ve booked a bedroom, tent pitch, shepherd’s hut or yurt.
