Guidebook for your stay at Potters Cottage
Sightseeing
This is one of our fave spots, if you go to the car park furthest away then it’s a short walk to the cove where you can see the most stunning crew of seals and their pups, if this one’s full it’s a 40 minute round walk along rugged coast to the seals. It’s a National Trust car park so if you’re not members it’s a pay and park scheme.

A real must for ceramic lovers and artists, fantastic collection of original Leach pottery, a feel for how the studio used to work and a wonderful shop for gifts that are made at The Leach by current potters. Amazing 50% sales during some bank holidays. Clay days for kids during school holidays and courses that are a delight for adults at any stage of learning.

A real gem of a city, head to the old High street for quirky cafes, vintage stores and record shops. Vegan, Caribbean, Mexican, Asian and street food. The Maritime
Museum and Art Gallery are great as is Beer Wolf, a book shop and pub combined.

Amazing views of the beach and sea, we’ve seen pods of dolphins whilst munching breakfast, total highlight of our year! Fantastic breakfasts, (before 11am) tapas lunches, and great suppers. It’s super popular, during the summer you need to reserve a table well in advance for supper, get there 30mins before you want to eat for brunch and lunch.

Amazing chilled out friendly surfers with a great teaching style. Definitely worth a go for all ages, one to one or group sessions available. You can hire wetsuits and equipment if you don’t want a lesson and just prefer to body board :)
