DH and I stayed outside Honiton last summer. Sadly the shop is closed and
the premises are now a restaurant. There is another shop a few doors down
which disappointingly only sells a few old bobbins and a few pieces of lace
already made, all of which are rather pricey . The Allhallows Lace Museum
is however well worth a visit and they sell a few basic items for Honiton
lace making and some patterns. During the summer they also have ladies
demonstrating Honiton lace making.
I cannot advise on accommodation though. We stayed in a caravan park up in
the hills outside the town.

I sent an email to the site listed as that of the Honiton Lace Shop, but
did not receive a reply. Does anyone have any up to date information about
this business? I gather that the shop in Honiton was closed. My impression
is
that the restaurant with a lace theme that was planned, does not seem to
exist. I get the impression that the lace operation was moved to a farm or
barn outside of town. But, I am at a bit of a dead end, because I am not
sure that there is anything left of this business to visit.
Also, has anyone stayed in Honiton or near by? Our hotel search is not
going well. We are not going in high summer. However, it would appear that
the
accommodations in the area are largely oriented to people on self
catering holidays who are staying for a week.
