Just outside bude, nice little cabin with a hot tub.
On a separate note cheers for the recommendations, will have to revisit these at some point as there seems some crackers.

Huge affection for Bude. The canal has sprung a leak plus the drought, but the Olive Tree canalside is a great place to eat. The golf course is lots of fun too, lacks the quality of a St E or Saunton, but the good holes are very good.

Unfortunately the clubs are still in London, but thanks for the recommendations on places to eat out ?

Good choice. You likely won't contribute as much to global warming and money spent most likely stays in UK.

Without turning this into a debate, me driving 7hours and burning two tanks of fuel will contribute more to GW than a plane that was already going and will still go without me.

I'll revise my pov slightly, knowing the numbers, then - though the additional weight of 2 (?) folk and luggage could cause similar GW, let alone more/longer excursions.

The famous cafe is Pasteis de Belem. Sit in, it goes back miles so don't worry if it looks busy. Ask for a selection.
Big on fish, sardines in particular so look out for restaurants offering those.

This is a deffo, we loved it in there. Deffo ask for a selection.
One of the best ever meals we had was in Lisbon. It was a tapas. Would recommend one of them.

We did Lisbon overnight, I drove up from the Algarve. Anyway we got to the hotel and didn’t know where to eat. They sent us to a Tapas restaurant. €20 each. 10 courses and unlimited sangria.Sweet lord we ate like gods. Had to leave a good tip.One of life’s great pleasures is sitting outside early evening with a glass of red and eating Tapas

Depends what you are into but we loved the Time Out Market in the evening - loads of choice from small independent restaurants - plus eating your own body weight in pastel de natas is necessary.
A visit to Sintra is good but touristy if you have time. We also walked up to the Lisbon Castle which has great views over the city
