My first visit to this pub last Monday having seen it from the train many times, I walked from Starcross station, about 2 miles along the seawall. What a stunning location, the pub is next to the sealock for the EXeter ship canal with extensive gardens and extensive views across the Exe estuary. 6 beers were available from the Otter Brewery and the Exeter Brewery based in nearby Exminster, food looked good and the service was friendly, altogether a fantastic pub well worth a visit.
In Summer there is an hourly ferry service to Topsham Quay and a less frequent one along the canal to the Double Locks pub nearer Exeter.

Noted a few cars parked here yesterday. They must have driven along the track from Exminster. A pity to loose the car free status. As I did not see any blue badges I assume that some people are too bone idle to walk for a formerly unique experience.

That said, this is a lovely pub in an ideal setting. They have a good range of beers and we received a pleasent welcome. Didn't have any food, but will try next time.

Cycled to this pub as it is not reachable by road.We had fish and chips which was very nice although a little expencive at £9.99 each,this was washed down with a few pints of Otter bitter for me and Aspnal cider for my wife.
Outside in the large grounds there was a barbeque for the patrons which I was told was a regular thing in the summer.
This pub is worth the walk/cycle that it takes to reach it.

Lovely pub in wonderful location. Only accessible on foot or by bicycle, although I believe you can catch a boat down the canal from Exeter in the summer.
