As the days grow crisp and the harbour takes on its autumnal glow, Clovelly invites you to slow down and savour the season. 

From gentle walks along the quay to live music drifting across the water, there’s a calm beauty in the change of pace.

Seasonal specials

Say hello to autumn flavours at the Harbour Restaurant!  Our Slow Roasted Hispi Cabbage is making its debut, wrapped in romesco sauce with cornmeal and a rich vegetable demi-glaze. For something sweet, don’t miss the Vacherin, cream cheese parfait with Clovelly pear, blackberry, plum, beetroot meringue. And of course, our very own Clovelly Apple Terrine with salted butterscotch for a true taste of autumn.

Our menu changes regularly based on what’s in season, check out the sample menu below.

Back to school breaks

School’s back in session – and so is some well-earned peace and quiet! 

Escape midweek to Clovelly for a few days of calm harbourside strolls and cosy corners – some uninterrupted “me time” before the homework and lunchboxes take over again.

Book a room at the Red Lion where each room blends classic charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful retreat just steps from the quay. Wake up to harbour views, the gentle sound of the waves, and the calm rhythm of village life.

Clovelly Court Gardens

The Clovelly Court Gardens are still bursting with colour and charm. Discover hidden corners and breathe in the crisp autumn air – a peaceful haven for a leisurely stroll. We have an abundance of apples ripening on the trees, filling the Court Gardens with the colours and scents of autumn.

Lots of new plants are being propagated in the gardens ready to go on sale for next year, and we are growing onions and suedes in the tomato house ready for the cooler months – make sure to take a wander through our greenhouses and chat to our gardeners on your next visit!

New tennis courts

We’re excited to share that the new tennis courts are now open in the Court Gardens for Clovelly and Red Lion residents. Surrounded by greenery and fresh sea air, it’s the perfect spot for a friendly rally or a leisurely game.
