Response from the owner Dear guests, Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. Much appreciated and we are very happy you enjoyed your stay at the Walkers Retreat. Yes the pub in Holne is closed for now but we hope for a reopening before the summer starts. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the next pub on in the village of Scoriton, which you can see in the view from the property. Have you tried the local tearoom for lunch/ cakes?
