The Pilchard Inn, Burgh Island

We've visited this pub twice now having spent the day on the beach nearby. Yes it's unique, yes the beer is good and the views wonderful, but will we go there again? I don't think so. The public bar has a rope across and a sign saying that it's for locals and the nearby hotel residents only - happy to take our money but excluding us from half the pub. The first time the barman kept asking us to hurry up with our order (we had 4 young kids with us - it can take a bit of time). The 2nd time he sat outside complaining about the right of way act and ramblers.... No we're not going again!
